LAKE OF FIRE
Germany 2022, color, 11 min, OV, Engl. sub
Director: Art Collective Neozoon

The fear of death can only be conquered if people believe in a superior savior – otherwise eternal damnation in hell awaits them. The documentary found footage collage shows that the dualistic view and way of life of believers dangerously fuels the climate change-induced hell on earth.

Director: Simon Maria Kubiena

A young apprentice craftsman is dazed, and not only due to the noise at work. In a chaotic world, between dominant colleagues, an inaccessible father an a demanding girlfriend, the young man seeks closeness. In the process, he crosses a boundary and gets to know himself a bit better.

So long, good times
Germany 2022, color, 21 min, OV, Engl. sub

Dehumanized
Germany 2021, color, 0 min, OV, Engl. sub

An experimental short film, in which the peace of the dead in a military cemetery is disturbed with loud war noises. The camera itself becomes a weapon.

RIM
Germany 2022, black & white and color, 6 min, OV, Engl. sub
Director: Hagar Faibish
Production: Hagar Faibish
The isolation of a character from his dystopian world and a fusion with the virtual world of television. While trying to purchase a key that promises escape from his dreary outside world and the liberation of his his mind, the character loses touch with his outer world bit by bit.

1 Kilo – 3 Euros
Germany 2022, color, 16 min, OV, Engl. sub
Director: Ani Mrelashvili
Production: Christoph Mohr
Maka runs a small Georgian parcel shop in Berlin. It is a place that does not exist on Google Maps and can only be found if you know where to look for it. The store is an anchor point for Georgians who send parcels to their loved ones in their faraway homeland. Each package comes with its own story. What emerges is a small Georgia to soothe nostalgia.

Staging Death
Austria 2022, color, 8 min, OV, Engl. sub
Director: Jan Soldat
Production: Jan Soldat
Udo Kier dies his way through film history. He screams, falls, lies, is cut into pieces, shot or commits suicide. Again and again his empty gaze, again and again his rigid body. These representations of death merge into a montage of the most diverse shots, film formats, special effects and sound designs.
