Synopsis
Johann Lurf's critical examination of the special effect of the "dolly zoom" - first used by Hitchcock in Vertigo - becomes a declaration of love to film and the richness of the cinematic language.
Emerging from the screen’s blackness, a small image appears at its lower edge. A young boy sits in a train clattering out of the station. Shortly after that another film image is visible at the upper edge: A man catches his wife cheating on him. More and more scenes appear until the screen fills with 12 sections. A different film is being shown in each one.
Hilarious overview of architectural failures. A road movie that provides new insights, but goes nowhere. Johann Lurf once again reveals his striking talent and his sense of humor. A to A is an extensive catalogue of mediocre architectural objects on roundabouts, competing for attention in the few seconds as they are passed. A unique artist's impression, shot from a spluttering Vespa.
Johann Lurf’s maximalist, 35mm barrage of Hollywood studio logos, transforms the iconic corporate prelude to the big production-to-come into a sustained, stuttering spectacle in which fractured and fantastical worlds collide into a bombastic anti-climax.

One morning in an ordinary town, five people are shot dead in a seemingly random attack. All evidence points to a single suspect: an ex-military sniper who is quickly brought into custody. The interrogation yields one written note: 'Get Jack Reacher!'. Reacher, an enigmatic ex-Army investigator, believes the authorities have the right man but agrees to help the sniper's defense attorney. However, the more Reacher delves into the case, the less clear-cut it appears. So begins an extraordinary chase for the truth, pitting Jack Reacher against an unexpected enemy, with a skill for violence and a secret to keep.
Everyone deserves a great love story, but for 17-year-old Simon Spier, it's a little more complicated.
