The Lost Souls of Syria
Director of Photography
Twenty-seven thousand photos of corpses, and bodies tortured in detention centers of the Syrian regime, are leaked in 2014 by a mysterious deserter with the code name "Caesar". Because of the geopolitical interests of some countries and the indifference of other nations, international justice refuses to prosecute the regime of Bashar Al Assad responsible for crimes reminiscent of Nazi or Khmer barbarism. Filmed throughout Europe over nearly four years between 2016 and 2020, the film recounts the behind-the-scenes and twists and turns of investigations and proceedings that will lead to the issuance of arrest warrants for the highest officials of Bashar al Assad's administration for crimes against humanity.
The Endless Moment: The Painter Rolf Kuhlmann
Assistant Camera
German realist painter Rolf Kuhlmann is known for his complex, multilayered figures in compositions which evoke the world of dreams. In this remarkable documentary, director Claudia Schmid spends a year following the artist as he visits German forests, and ancient archeological sites and refugee camps in Greece. The Endless Moment documents the extraordinary creation of ambitious, large-scale double triptych paintings—from life studies to tactile three-dimensional objects—as the camera captures moments of conception, rumination, execution, and revision.
Worldstar
Director of Photography
Miroslav Tichy lived like a hermit for decades in a small town in Moravia in the Czech Republic. Since recently, the art scene has been celebrating the estranged photographer Tichy as a non-conformist, trading his works for up to 12.000 euro. Tichy still lives on cheap booze in his run-down shed, he isn't interested in fame: "They should have come earlier, now it's too late, I don't want this". An intimate story of an artist - and a subtle revelation of the business mechanisms of the art world.
