In the organizer's words:
When young Jojo is accepted to one of the most prestigious art academies, she can hardly believe her luck. She is now allowed to attend the painting class of the world-famous Prof. Robert Copley, whose work she admires. A rich panorama of art gradually unfolds before her eyes: students, artists, professors, gallery owners - colorful and eccentric characters, all struggling with their work, love and life. But this dazzling world soon turns out to be merciless terrain. Jojo tries everything to stay true to herself in this toxic environment.
In her extraordinary cinema debut, director Camilla Guttner, herself a master student of Irish painter Sean Scully at the Academy of Fine Arts Munich, delves deep into the fascinating world of art academies and conveys an authentic and unsparing picture of this unique microcosm. Witty, bizarre, humorous. DIE AKADEMIE celebrated its world premiere in the "New German Cinema" series at the Munich Film Festival 2024.
