Being That Boy Again
Director
His mother starts drinking when he is eight years old. Jan Koester projects photos from his childhood on his own body that tell of loneliness and helplessness in toxic relationships. These Rorschach-like superimposed images put physical abstractions in relation to their violent and alienated surroundings. Shifting between fluid and halting movements, telescoped pixels tugging at each other deconstruct predominant gender norms.
Brand / Ablaze
Director
When the mayor of a little village decides to receive some forty refugees, a wave of dislike and hatred befalls him and his family. The short animation tells the story of a fight against fear and the courage to stand up for your convictions despite the threat of one’s life.
Tracing Addai
Animation Director
In 2013 Addai joins a salafistic group in Syria. The encounter of Addai's mother with Ilias, a homecomer from Syria, gives rise to invidual fragments, by means of which the story of the son and comrade can be traced.
Rising Hope
Modeling
The path is known to all, but few follow it. Rising Hope – once the fastest horse in the race, tries to be one of the few.
