Director: Hubertus Hinse
Production: Hubertus Hinse
During Russia’s war against Ukraine, a young woman from Kiev who has been living in Germany for 10 years receives messages from her brother, who witnessed the attack on Irpin. This film captures her feelings, thoughts, hopes and questions. Purely subjective and personal.
Noosphäre
Germany 2022, color, 6 min, OV, Engl. sub
Director: Johann Wellner
Production: Johann Wellner
In the 1930s, the Russian geologist Wernadski coined the term noosphere. According to the concept, the noosphere represents the third phase of the earth’s evolution. Analogous to the transformation of the inanimate to the animate through the biosphere, noosphere describes the impact of humans on the planet. The experimental short film takes up this idea in an abstract way.

The Goddess of New Answers
Germany 2022, color, 5 min, OV, Engl. sub
Director: Rainer Johannes Hofmann
Production: Rainer Johannes Hofmann
A still life talking, with very subtle motion within a seemingly steady arrangement of objcts. As the antithesis to a fast moving music video, it is calm but in deep mental motion at the same time and is a humble attempt at capturing time within itself.
