Needle in a Haystack: UMFELD


Needle in a Haystack: a continuing look at low to no budget features, shorts and alternative cinema.





T
he movie in question today could be called experimental or avant garde, but please don't let that dissuade you. Musician Jochim Papp and video artist Scott Pagano have joined forces to create an extremly unique scape of sound and image with Umfeld.

Sometime early last year I stumbled upon a behind the scenes trailer and was quite intrigued. At that point the movie had not been released. I forgot to make any kind of note of it (besides a mental one) and thus Umfeld slipped away... until...
A few weeks back when I read about it again on the Dutch site, onderhond. By this time Umfeld had been released both on DVD and as a free legal download online! The trailer is definitly worth a look, if not the hour long film itself, so head on over to Umfeld.tv and enjoy!
