CMV – Johann Wellner

Johann Wellner landed in short film via detours. He is actually a linguist and has been working as a VJ in his spare time for a decade now – for example as an integral part of formations such as Wassermanns Fiebertraum or in cooperation with DJs and musicians at various events. This activity initially led to the sporadic creation of music videos. Since 2017 he has also been working on experimental videos in short film format, after his first film PER ASPERA AD ASTRA won a slot in the regional window of the Short Film Week at the Filmtöne event. His films will be screened in chronological order and the artist will be on hand in person for a film talk.
