The Effect of Cannonry on Thunderclouds

30 Min., Dokumentarfilm , Experimentalfilm , Kurzfilm

In 2016, Germany recorded more potential tornados than ever before. At the same time, weather tropes flooded screens and feeds: shit storms, data floods, refugee waves. The film reads images as documents, fictions and instruments of control — where fear, manipulation and prediction begin to merge.

Umbra

20 Min., Experimentalfilm , Kurzfilm

A shimmering light, the rustle of the leaves, round spots of light in the shade of a tree. The sun reflects on the water. It is an element and counterpart. Can nature observe itself? A cinematic reflection on the presence and absence of things.

Last Year in Utopia

73 Min., Dokumentarfilm , Experimentalfilm

Last Year in Utopia documents an experimental set-up: a staged group media experiment, isolated from the outside world, is reconstructed on the site where the original events unfolded.
