A film by Lars Preisser and Beatrice Peter Schuett<\/p>\n

english:<\/p>\n

The promise of school is to educate and prepare for a good life. The promise of cinema is to enrich and inspire the viewer and to present life in all its facets. In school, too, we are presented with prospects and the possibility that we will be able to achieve what we want to achieve, and so we have to make choices. Caught within our own personal storyline of promise and failure we can escape it at the movies to gain insight into other realities. The enrichment of cinema and the twists and turns, the successes that are achieved in films, one desires them in one\u2019s own life, and one remembers one\u2019s school days when the twists and turns were still a possibility and a promise of the future. School is on the one hand a place of possibilities and on another hand also the site of their limitation.
\nMovies are meant to enable us to forget the limits and constraints of life and perhaps to inspire positive change. The motivational speeches gathered in our video usually stand at the turning point of a story, and we overlay them in our film with images of schools, the places where lives are put on track. We want to inspire thoughts about school, movies, life, promises, choices, transformations\u2026<\/p>\n

Motivational Speech Archive was started by Beatrice Peter Schuett in January 2016 and consists of mostly fictional\u00a0motivational speeches that she has extracted from movies and TV shows. They are collected on various social media platforms and can be shared, listened to and used by others. Beatrice wants to know, has the meaning of these speeches shifted after they have been ripped from their place in a narrative, a storyline? Cinema can hold such great power over its viewers, and sometimes its stories seep over into real life.<\/em>
\nWhat do these motivational speeches feel like in their abundance, what do they become?\u00a0Are they suspended? Are they, at their core, a positive influence or do they become oppressive in their simplicity?<\/em><\/p>\n

Das Versprechen der Schule ist es zu lernen und f\u00fcr ein gutes Leben vorzubereiten. Das Versprechen des Films ist das Leben zu bereichern und vor dem Zuschauer das Leben in all seinen Facetten auszubreiten. In der Schule werden uns diese M\u00f6glichkeiten, das zu werden was wir werden wollen, ebenfalls in Aussicht gestellt und wir m\u00fcssen uns entscheiden. In unserer eigenen Storyline gefangen k\u00f6nnen wir uns fortan nur noch im Kino dieser unserer Handlung entziehen und Einblicke in andere Realit\u00e4ten gewinnen. Die Bereicherung die wir dort erfahren, die Wendungen die dort vollzogen werden, die Erfolge die dort gefeiert werden, w\u00fcnscht man sich vielleicht im echten Leben und man denkt zur\u00fcck an die Schulzeit in der diese Wendungen noch m\u00f6glich waren. Schulen sind also einerseits Orte der M\u00f6glichkeiten andererseits aber auch der Einschr\u00e4nkungen. Filme lassen einen die Einschr\u00e4nkungen f\u00fcr einen Moment\u00a0 vergessen und k\u00f6nnen vielleicht sogar zu einer Ver\u00e4nderung \u00a0inspirieren. In \u201ePromises and Premises\u201c wollen wir die fiktiven, motivierenden Reden die oft am Wendepunkt der Handlung eines Films stehen, mit Bildern von Schulen also den Orten wo Leben in Bahnen gelenkt wird unterlegen und zum Nachdenken anregen \u00fcber Schule, Filme, das Leben, Wirklichkeit, Hoffnung, M\u00f6glichkeiten, Ver\u00e4nderungen etc.<\/p>\n
