Living is like crossing a bridge. Is it possible that what looks like it is part of a cityscape is in fact a living being?

"The Magic Voice Of A Rebel" portrays the story of the Czech singer Marta Kubisová, who without never intending it, became a symbol of freedom for all generations in the newly free Czhecoslovakia in 1989. It is Marta herself who tells us her life story and how the Soviet invasion in Czechoslvakia in 1968 changed her life. Because of her deep involvement in the Prague Spring movement, she went from being the most popular singer in the country to being banned and suffering a sudden removal from the public scene by the new authorities imposed from Moscow. She refused to escape to exile and together with other banned intelectuals and artists became a disident instead. Blacklisted and persecuted by the secret police, she also suffered the betrayal of beloved people who were collaborating with the regime.

In the minutes that it takes for a day to lose itself to darkness, we see a house that has suddenly become empty. It is the home of Maria, who has recently passed, and who has left her mark in every corner of every room.

Based on a poem by Zofia Bohdanowiczowa.
An Evening (2013 )
Film
Every summer, St. Nicholas Church (12th century) draws large crowds of tourists. Situated in an untouched Arcadian landscape, on a picturesque hill and next to a lone tree, it is as if the site becomes a stage where various unusual events take place. Thus, the tourists, unaware of the proximity of the camera, become performers in a daily show.
Autofocus (2013 )
Film
Being mother is the most natural thing in the world. Or so it seems. Yet the demands on women with children have rarely been as overloaded and contradictory as they are in today’s Western world. Promises of happiness are often followed by disadvantages, excessive demands and feelings of guilt. The mother has become an artificially glorified ideal, which nevertheless is often legitimized by the „nature of the woman“. We live in a time when three people could claim to be the same child’s mother: egg donors give their genes to beget children, surrogate mothers deliver babies which they give away immediately after birth, and men raise children by themselves – without a woman at their side. Hence the question arises: What makes a human being a real mother?
(M)Other (2019 )

Tourists (2019 )
Film
After the insurrection erupted in Libya in the spring of 2012, more than a million people flocked to neighboring Tunisia in search of a safe haven from the escalating violence. When a massive refugee camp was hastily constructed near the Ras Jdir border checkpoint in Tunisia, a trio of filmmakers carried their cameras in and began filming with no agenda. This on-the-fly chronicle of the camp's installation, operation, and dismantling captures a postmodern Babel complete with a multinational population of displaced folk, a regime of humanitarian aid workers, and international media that broadcasts its “image” to the world. Visually stunning and refreshingly undogmatic, Babylon reveals a rarely seen aspect of the Arab Spring.
Babylon (2012 )

What does a baby's cry have in common with the echo of a mountain yodler, and what connects the head tone of a Tuvin nomad with the stage show of a vocal artist? The answer is: THE VOICE. Against a background of powerful alpine vistas and modern city landscapes, "heimatklänge" enters the wondrous sonic world of three exceptional Swiss vocal artists.

'Wild Wild Beach' zeigt eigenwillige Portraits von Menschen am Meer, deren Leben von Wodka, Karaoke und Gewalt bestimmt ist. Der Film lässt tief in die Abgründe der menschlichen Seele blicken. Der titelgebende wilde Badestrand an der Schwarzmeer-Küste bot vier Jahre zuvor schon einmal die Szenerie für einen Dokumentarfilm. In "Broadway.

Reminiscences of a Journey to Lithuania (1996 )
Film
An audition for men aged between 16 and 99. There are no props nor make-up, just pure improvisation. All that is required is the willingness to engage openly with the topic and language of the words on the page. No small challenge, since the text in question is the scandalous novel published anonymously in 1906 “Josefine Mutzenbacher, or the Life Story of a Viennese Whore, as Told by Herself” which, as this film confirms, continues to be the subject of passionate and controversial discussions about desire, even today. What might be world-class pornographic literature for some is seen by others as an abusive depiction of child sexuality.
Mutzenbacher (2022 )
Film
Mauricio, a lifeguard on a Chilean beach, considers himself to be a model of efficiency and professionalism. His colleagues, however, think otherwise, and speculate on why he never goes into the water. Maite Alberdi's visually gorgeous feature documentary debut has the intensity of a short story; beginning as a quirky character study of lifeguards and beachgoers, it becomes something altogether darker and more shocking when events take a dramatic turn.
The Lifeguard (2011 )

Simona (2022 )
Film
Der georgischen Regisseurin Salomé Jashi gelingen hier tolle, allegorische Bilder. Kein biblisches und auch kein futuristisches Motiv steckt dahinter, sondern eine ernüchternde Wirklichkeit, in der ein steinreicher und politisch mächtiger Mann, den mehr als 100 Jahre alten Baum samt Scholle ausgraben lässt, um ihn per Schiff auf sein riesiges Anwesen zu bringen. So absurd die Verpflanzung anmutet, so sehr ist sie Sinnbild für Macht, unverschämten Reichtum und Bezwingung der Natur. Die Mühen der Entwurzelung macht der Film deutlich sicht- und hörbar. Den Interviews mit den Besitzern des Baumes, Anwohnern und Arbeitern stellt Jashi immer wieder archaische Bilder gegenüber, die unseren Umgang mit der Natur konterkarieren und Begriffe wie Demut und Bescheidenheit einfordern.
Die Zähmung der Bäume (2022 )
Film

Infinity According to Florian (2022 )
Film
"Ich bin kein Rassist, ich hasse alle Menschen gleich." erklärt Officer Dave Brown dem Mann von Internal Affairs. Brown ist ein richtig mieser Typ. Er säuft im Dienst, wirft Pillen ein wie Schokodrops, droht, prügelt und bricht Gesetze, wie es ihm gerade passt. Aber als Cop hält er die Straßen von LA frei von kriminellem Ungeziefer, damit seine beiden Töchter und viele andere brave Bürger in Sicherheit leben können. So war es immer schon und das ist auch völlig ok - in seinen Augen. Doch eines verdammten Tages flimmern die Bilder, wie Brown einen Verdächtigen fast totschlägt, über alle TV-Sender. Eine der vielen Videokameras in der Stadt hat alles dokumentiert. Und was das krisengeschüttelte LA Police Department gerade gar nicht brauchen kann, ist ein prügelnder Cop ...

Summer of Giacomo (2011 )
Film
Some things can be seen more clearly at night.. . A film poem about a continent at night, a culture on which the sun’s going down, though it’s hyper alert at the same time, an “Abendland” that, often somewhat self-obsessively, sees itself as the crown of human civilization, while its service economy is undergoing rapid growth in a thoroughly pragmatic way. Nikolaus Geyrhalter takes a look at a paradise with a quite diverse understanding of protection. Night work juxtaposed with oblivious evening digression, birth and death, questions that await answers in the semi-darkness, a Babel of languages, the routine of the daily news, and political negotiation: All this has been captured in images with a wealth of details that make us look at things in a new way. The longer you consider a word, the more distant is its return gaze: ABENDLAND.
Abendland (2011 )
Film
Lao Yang is head of logistics of the group. He is responsible for the equipment, building materials and food (mainly chickens) to arrive in the isolated Chinese prefab camp. The Congolese government was supposed to deliver these things but so far the team hasn't received anything. With Eddy (a Congolese man who speaks Mandarin fluently) as an intermediate, Lao Yang is forced to leave the camp and deal with local Congolese entrepreneurs, because without the construction materials the road works will cease. What follows is an endless, harsh, but absurdly funny roller coaster of negotiations and misunderstandings, as Lao Yang learns about the Congolese way of making deals.
Empire of Dust (2011 )
