Look Out Below

U-Bahn Entertainment

Sundance, Upway, Monstercar and Architect’s Office are just a few of the titles of short films, by young filmmakers, that you will probably see over the next couple of weeks. Artsy and clever, surreal and stimulating, these films will come to a subway station — instead of a theater — near you, throughout February. After the huge success of the U-Bahn screening project LOOK NOW, Infoscreen and Munich’s Academy of Fine Arts have once again teamed up to bring a second round of films to Munich’s underground. In between a rather bland mix of news, advertising and cartoons, these 20-second spots are designed to catch passengers’ attention. Whether it is a hot-air balloon ride in the mountains, a dancing boy or heads morphing into logos, they definitely stand out. The films will be shown at Hauptbahnhof, Sendlinger Tor, Marienplatz, Odeonsplatz and Münchner Freiheit stations. If you don’t catch the spots on your way to work or shopping, you can also see them online at www.looknow.de.
