Fantastic Voyages

A documentary series for television in seven parts, written and directed by Christoph Dreher and produced by Rotraut Pape for the German channel ZDF which reviews and analyses the history of the video clip from interviews with groups and professionals who play a decisive part in the creation and production of music videos, and cultural theoreticians.

Christoph Dreher is a director and producer for the Arte and ZDF channels and author of the TV series Lost in Music, Pop Odysee and various documentaries on popular music and culture.

Fantastic Voyages, a cosmology of the music video, is an initiative of Platoniq, organised by the Goethe Institut Inter Nationes and MACBA. It is part of Electronic arts and media cultures, a series of lectures and screenings related to the history and evolution of electronic art, digital genres and the forms of cultural self-organisation which have been programmed since last November in different public spaces in Barcelona. MACBA presents the series as an extension of the Good Vibes, resistance politics and musical cultures programme and in the context of the exhibition Sonic Process, a new geography of sounds.
