The Most Beautiful Place on Earth
Director
There is a small town in Austria called Pinkafeld, which gained adverse publicity as a “Nazi village” during the presidential election of 2017, when a majority of its citizens voted for their famous neighbour, the right wing candidate Norbert Hofer. What do people really think in regard to their homeland, refugees and populism? The community shows a society in transition, a microcosm reflecting Europe’s zeitgeist.

A OMS está doente? A cineasta e mãe Lilian Franck revela influências clandestinas das indústrias do tabaco, farmacêutica e nuclear na organização. Ela mostra um retrato assustador da nossa sociedade atual, na qual a política governamental está a tornar-se obsoleta. "De todas as formas de desigualdade, a injustiça na área da saúde é a mais chocante e desumana." Martin Luther King
Optical sound
Director
Found- footage work composing hundreds of fragments of opening credits for 35 mm films translated into sound.
Nightstill
Director
Contributed by brittle sounds, clouds as a hasty swarm over peaks. Behind windows, lights flash like Morse characters. Gondolas hiss past like flying objects. People are like phantoms in the snow. The moon rises, glows, crashes, disappears and always goes up again. (Isabella Reicher)
Tito-Material
Director
Found material: film images which show Tito in diverse contexts, at public affairs, with the Partisans, in "private" while shaving, etc. Place of discovery: a destroyed cinema in Mostar, Bosnia in 1996. The film construction, created at the optical printer, is of course also a counter concept to the more narrative models: the marks of war are not primarily made visible on the representational level, but more through the damage done to the film material itself from rubble and dampness, but also through the film´s editing.
