Baran bo Odar : 2014
Who Am I – Kein System ist sicher
Benjamin is the prototypical twenty-five-year-old computer geek: no fashion sense, no friends, and definitely no girlfriend. What he does have, however, is a preternatural talent for all things digital. His online activity catches the eye of the charismatic Max, a would-be revolutionary who yearns to "hack the world" but needs Benjamin's prodigious skills. Max's world of partying, drugs and sex is all a bit much for the introverted Benjamin, who is nevertheless thankful just to be part of something. The duo teams up with fellow wunderkinds Stephan and Paul to form the hacker collective CLAY (Clowns Laughing @ You), infiltrating international security systems and hacking for social justice. And they're really good at it – so good that they come to the attention of the German Secret Service, Europol and, most frighteningly, a sinister rival hacker who views this new cadre as a threat to be eliminated. Hunted by the cybercrime investigator Hanne Lindberg, Benjamin mutates from an unobserved nobody to one of the most wanted hackers in the world. Baran bo Odar's third feature premiered at Toronto International Film Festival 2014.
