Garden of Eden
A Super 8 Film by Lars Kemnitz
The idea developed when I was in South Africa in March this year taking some time off and capturing the beautiful nature on Super 8 film. The way of doing that was very intuitive. Later, back in Hamburg, I created a story around it, stumbled upon a quote by D.H. Thoreau, wrote the music and convinced Christina, a super talented actress, to shoot the additional footage I needed to complete the film.
The film is telling the story of a modern-day Eva who returns to Paradise. It’s a celebration of the beauty of nature, meanwhile it reminds us of the importance to appreciate and take care of it, today more than ever, to keep this planet a place to live on for the next generations.

Lars Kemnitz (b 1988) is a visual artist and creative director based in Hamburg, Germany. Since he discovered his passion for photography at university in the late 2000s, he has continually been shaping and developing his own visual language and vision. Today he also experiments with the medium of film which seems natural as his fascination for cinema has always served as a major source of inspiration; it reflects in his work when he blends cinematic story-telling with fashion, documentary and art influences to explore topics mostly dealing with the imaginative, the mystical, the cryptic, the suggestive and the subconscious.
