The Dunes Said
Director
Set in the Argentinian coastal town Villa Gesell, built on sand dunes in the 1930s, “The Dunes Said” delves into the town's origins, creating a parallel fiction in which an interrupted report on sand dune memory opens up to let us ponder wider themes of the relationship between humans and nature and how history is created.
Diary of an Organism (newly translated)
Producer
In biology, an organism is any individual entity that exhibits the properties of life. It is a synonym for life form. A life form travels across the universe and lands on this planet. Who it is, what it looks like, remains unclear. It could be many, it could be everywhere. Children, a meteorite, algae, fish, old women, the character Ophelia from Shakespeare's Hamlet or a computer program. Diary of an Organism is a footage film in various senses: made out of images found in Internet archives, of own images and text fragments, remnants of several former films never used, but always remembered. Different forms of collecting, archiving, remembering and organizing dehierarchically shape the films rhythm becoming a sensory impression, "gelatinous", like the jellyfish in it.

A Nice Place to Leave
Director
The Owls Have Grown as Big as the Half Moon
Editor
A trip to South Korea, searching for memories from early childhood, spent there between the age of 1-3. Memories that barely exist. Layers of strangeness blend together: being a foreigner in the country and the strangeness vis-a-vis the past and the own biography. Wandering in the gaps, in between the noise and silences.

In unserem Dunkel
Director
The memory of the Résistance in the maquis of southern France. There: ‘Les Feuillets d’Hypnos’, a lyrical war diary by René Char, fragments, searching for the language in the landscape. An attempt at a translation.
