Synopsis: The moving image <-> the body in motion. A one minute trapeze routine is transformed into an elementary stage trick, a music box automaton and a kaleidoscopic carousel. This is where slight-of-hand meets spectacle and circus becomes cinema.
Inhalt: Das bewegte Bild – der bewegte Körper. Eine einminütige Routineübung auf dem Trapez wird umgewandelt in einen elementaren Bühnentrick, eine Musikbox und ein kaleidoskopisches Karussell. Das ist die Grenze, an der zierliche Hände zum Schauspiel werden und Zirkus zum Kino wird.

Synopsis: Still Birds is a dystopic fable that takes place in an enclosed world in which meaning is about to disappear. In a theatrically constructed universe with no specific geography or time, the only remaining people are children who have lost the ability to use language. In the aftermath of a human catastrophe, Still Birds is a fable with a glimmer of utopian hope.
Inhalt: Nach einer Umweltkatastrophe sind nur ein paar Kinder, die ihre Sprache verloren haben, übrig geblieben. Nur die Vögeln spiegeln einen Hauch utopischer Hoffnung.

Synopsis: Rosa H. Ziegler shows a portrait of her father who lives isolated in his room. He spends all his time there, inside, with no contact to other people and uncompromisingly following his addiction – smoking.

The film shows in a dark, dreamy and wistful atmosphere the life of an old man who is addicted to nicotine and who lives in his own “dream world”.
