Paused By: ‘Anything’, ‘Photoshoot’, ‘Paternoster’, ‘Restaurant’, ‘The Lake’

Running time: 4'02"

Wim Wenders collaborated with luxury fashion brand Jil Sander through agency Beuro Paris to create a set of surprising and provocative “Paused By” films for their new Spring/Summer 2018 collection.  

The films could be read as being the beginning, middle or end of a movie, all intentionally and abruptly “Paused” at a decisive moment. 
 
Shot on location in and around Berlin and accompanied by an exclusive soundtrack composed by Laurent Petitgand, the set of films, written and directed by Wim Wenders connect the past, present and future of the Jil Sander brand.

Upon his return to West Germany in 1967, he was accepted by the University of Television and Film Munich. While attending film school, he worked as a newspaper film critic.
