Child actor (m/d) for a student master project at the Salzburg University of Applied Sciences

ÜBER_GEWICHT: A man fights the demons of his own body. In a surreal cage of guilt, shame and social ideals, he tries to make peace with the thing he hates the most: himself.

About_Weight is an experimental short film at the intersection of personal essay, lyrical reflection and physical performance. The film deals with male body images, vulnerability and the need for reconciliation.

The inner man, trapped in a cage of memories and social projections, reflects in a painful letter to his body the stages of a lifelong enmity: from a carefree childhood to brutal discipline through diets, sports and self-hatred to the realization that the cycle of conformity and condemnation never ends.

At the end is the tender question: Can you reconcile with the body you have tortured for years?

ÜBER_GEWICHT is an educational production of the Salzburg University of Applied Sciences, Master MultiMediaArt / Film.

The child: innocence in its purest form. It runs, laughs, romps - until the first judgment hits it like a blow. Its body is soft, round, imperfect in the sense of the adult world.

But there is a deep confusion in his eyes: Why does everyone suddenly hate me? The transformation from carefree play to hunted creature must be physically palpable.
