    • Synopsis
    • As part of a personal quest, for over 30 years director Herman Vaske filmed the world’s most intriguing artists and thinkers, including over 50 luminaries, among them Academy Award and Nobel Prize winners, from the fields of visual art, music, acting, philosophy, politics, business and science, posing the question: “Why are you creative?”

      Vaske’s subjects include: David Bowie, Ai Weiwei, Björk, Wim Wenders, Philippe Starck, Yoko Ono, David Lynch, Yohji Yamamoto, Damien Hirst, Angelina Jolie, Nobuyoshi Araki, Quentin Tarantino, Bono, Nick Cave, Neo Rauch, Stephen Hawking, the Dalai Lama, Peter Ustinov, Marina Abramovic, Diane Kruger, Julian Schnabel, John Cleese, Jimmy Page, Vivienne Westwood, Takeshi Kitano and many others.

      Locations span from the suites of the Carlton in Cannes to the beaches of Santa Monica. From the deserts if New Mexico to the Karaoke bars of Tokyo. From the penthouses of New York to the dungeons of Berlin. (From the design studios of Paris to the the canals of Amsterdam. From the back of limousines in New Jersey to the modern art museums of Germany.) From the photo studios of Milan to the snow covered mountains of Davos.

      Why are we creative? Is it in our blood? Do we do it to make ourselves immortal? Is it a reckless compulsion? Or do we simply do it to make a buck?

      The answers Vaske received are as varied and intriguing as his respondents. WHY ARE WE CREATIVE? is a vibrant celebration of what makes us most human, most fulfilled.

      Director Hermann Vaske says: "I'm obsessed by my curiosity. If you ask me what I really want, I say surprise me, please surprise me. Creativity means bringing together two things that have nothing to do with each other and form a third. One plus one equals three - that is my motto. Einstein wanted to know why God created the world. I wanted to know why people are creative. A simple question that brought me into contact with some of the most influential creatives of all time and finally changed th way I am seeing the world."
