Bloodsuckers
Director of Photography
Una comedia marxista de vampiros en la que los Monty Python, Kaurismaki y Wes Anderson se dan la mano. Es 1928 y Lyovischka, trabajador/actor soviético, escapa de su país tras la Revolución (y tras sus roces con Eisenstein y la censura) y recala en una mansión en el Mar Báltico donde vive la aristócrata Octavia. Un romance improbable triangulado por el extraño asistente personal de la millonaria, en el que se prueba que cuando Marx habla en El capital de “vampiros capitalistas” no se trata de una metáfora.
FREIZEIT or: The Opposite of Doing Nothing
Director of Photography
Es verano de 2018, en Berlín. Los jóvenes tienen 17 años y el barrio en el que crecieron es una enorme zona en construcción. Ellos pasean por la ciudad y se preguntan cómo será posible vivir ahí en el futuro. Sus debates giran alrededor del sexismo y de la responsabilidad del individuo en el sistema en el que vivimos. Lo que ocurre y lo que debería ocurrir entran en contradicción, pero ellos mantienen la fe.
Music and Apocalypse
Assistant Camera
Phoebe Phaidon works as a climatologist at an institute of cybernetics which is about to be shut down. So there has to be a solution in the form of a successful evaluation. The strategy consultants now work against the student movement in a virtual reality. Turmoils start.
The Components of Love
Cinematography
Sophie and Georg once loved each other, but now they have split up. Almost the entire film takes place in front of the same doorway in Berlin. In an elliptical way, the individual scenes portray a family for whom the word patchwork is the new normal — and take a laconic look at the everyday irrationalities of love.
Estaba en casa, pero...
Gaffer
Astrid vive en Berlín junto a sus dos hijos, Flo y Phillip. Tras la muerte de su esposo, un famoso director teatral, intenta recomponer su vida y sobrellevar su ausencia. En la intimidad, la familia libra una lucha cotidiana en donde las actividades más simples se convierten en retos inesperados: la compra de una bicicleta, un baño en la piscina o una representación escolar de Hamlet. El frágil equilibrio se derrumba cuando Phillip se escapa de casa...
Self-Criticism of a Bourgeois Dog
Cinematography
The story of the dog from the title, who in a frame narrative explains how he came to be transformed from an unemployed communist filmmaker into a canine with a philosophical bent. Unable to finance his new project, young Berlin-based director Julian tells foreign exchange student Camille that his job in the countryside is research for an upcoming film. When Camille offers to help, he is forced to uphold the lie. The plantation isn’t the proletarian idyll he had hoped for, but fortunately the reincarnation of Francis of Assisi provides spiritual insight and a new aim in life.
A Proletarian Winter's Tale
Director of Photography
Three young Georgians have to clean a castle in Berlin, where a German arms manufacturer's art collection is being set up for an exhibition. Of course, the proletariat isn't welcome at the opening party and they are banished to a servants' room in the attic. Downstairs, however, a splendid buffet attracts them - so why not just ignore the unfair prohibition and cross the line of class society? Didn't the French Revolution start over a piece of cake?
At the door
Cinematography
A man comes to pick up his son at his ex wife's house, just like every weekend.
Helene Fischer – Allein im Licht
Director of Photography
La Copiste de Pont-Aven
Director of Photography
Marine, a young painter, creates nothing but reproductions in Pont-Aven, France, where Gauguin once lived and worked. During one day, she paints, sells, drifts through town regarding places and people like tableaus. Different expectations are faced towards her but the film's circular structure leads her to a new morning which might change her routine.
