The Kombat Sechzehn by director Mirko Borscht movie tells the story about a sixteen year old boy moving involuntarily from west to east Germany. He is a taekwondo fighter and he needs to resocialize in this new surrounding.
THE TITLE SEQUENCE
Seen trough the eyes of a half asleep we are taken on a journey into the movie.
Even though he is just travelling by car the signs of things to come are lurking through the typographic disturbance.
German autobahn type mixes with abstract korean and old german broken script, symbolising three different worlds the movie's main character is faced with as he is sucked towards a new reality in Frankfurt (Oder), like the shadows of the titles vanishing over the dashboard. He can not escape his fate.
The maintitle-sequence is part of the diploma work of Oliver Peters and Sven Zuege at the FH-Potsdam.
