100 Days
This biographical story does not have a precise form. It’s like a painting where the first glance can be directed anywhere. The important thing is how the “big picture” is eventually revealed. Life goes on; people work and have children, out of love or out of a lack of any other motivation in their…
59/184/84
The cinematic personal ad of a perpetually miserable man who is still waiting for the moment when his life will start. He maintains his austere, lonely life with the dying pangs of faith that something just has to happen, that fate will finally fulfil his ideal vision of a woman, derived from a…

Anonym

Nocturno
The story is inspired by the subculture of “writers” who create street graffiti at night on illegal spaces, which places them on the wrong side of the law. In the film, of course, reality is moved to a fantastic, surrealistic level. The protagonist creates three-dimensional pictures that suddenly…
Saharan Sands
The title Saharan Sands is a loose paraphrase on a special meteorological phenomenon where a south subtropical wind brings tiny sand particles from the Saharan Desert during the hot summer months. This leads to a very bizarre condition: We can find sand from the distant African desert in Central…

Toaster
