DAU (project)
DAU is a multidisciplinary project at the intersection of cinema, art, and anthropology, which had its premiere in Paris in early 2019.
DAU was initially conceived as a full length feature film about the life of a genius in troubled times loosely based on the biography of the Soviet physicist and Nobel laureate Lev Landau (nicknamed Dau).
In 2006, the film was co-produced by Philippe Bober and Susanne Marian (Essential Filmproduktion, Germany), Medienboard Berlin-Brandenburg (Germany), WDR/Arte (Germany), Arte France Cinema (France), Mitteldeutsche Medienförderung (Germany), Eurimages, Swedish Film Institute, Film i Väst (Sweden), Hubert Bals Fund (Netherlands), Ukrainian Ministry of Culture, and X Filme Creative Pool Entertainment GmbH (Germany). The funding provided by the Russian Ministry of Culture was recalled in 2015, and was returned to the Ministry.
After the pre-production in 2006, the filming began in 2007 and took place in Saint Petersburg (Russia) and Kharkiv (Ukraine).
After the Saint Petersburg and Kharkiv shooting blocks, the production ceased to function as a conventional film shoot and became a continuous, immersive world in which participants lived their assigned roles full-time, under constant surveillance, rather than acting out scripted scenes.
The project unfolded on the territory of the largest shooting location in Europe spanning 12,000m2, named the Institute, built on the site of the former Dynamo Aquatic Stadium in Kharkiv, Ukraine.
How the location functioned and was used in the filming has suggested parallels between DAU and such projects as Synecdoche, New York and The Truman Show.
The film set was functioning 24/7, regardless if shooting was occurring. The DAU cinematographer Jürgen Jürges designed a special lighting system that allowed shooting at any point without setting up lighting equipment.
