Como o caminho para a Europa continuava bloqueado para a artista síria Amel Alzakout, ela decidiu cruzar o Mar Mediterrâneo com contrabandistas. Porém, pouco antes de chegar à costa de Lesbos, o barco sobrelotado em que estava virou. Com uma câmera à prova d’água amarrada ao pulso, Amel gravou tudo.
Wood
Sound Designer
An environmental spy infiltrates the global syndicate for illegal timber trading. With the aid of a hidden camera he documents the chain of illegal activities, from harvesting of the wood to the marketing of “washed” products in supermarkets. This turns out to be an excellent motor for political change.
SPK Complex
Sound Re-Recording Mixer
The anti-psychiatric Socialist Patients' Collective (SPK) was founded in Heidelberg in 1970 and attributed individual suffering to society’s capitalist structures. It began as a self-organised experiment in group therapy led by doctor Wolfgang Huber with psychiatric patients, featuring Hegel readings and individual agitation, before subsequently radicalizing, which ended in criminal proceedings against its members, some of whom went underground with the Red Army Faction.
Drift
Sound Mixer
Two women spend a weekend in the North Sea. One of them will soon return to her family in Argentina, whereas the other one will try to come a step closer to the ocean. She will cross the Atlantic Ocean on a sailing vessel. Time leaves the beaten track and the swell lulls to deep sleep. The sea takes over the narration. When the other one reappears, the wind is still in her hair while the ground beneath her feet is solid. She returns and the other one could ask: “Have you changed?”
Heino Jaeger - Look Before You Kuck
Sound Editor
A documentary about the tragic life of the forgotten German comedian Heino Jäger.
