Filmes

Father, Mother, What Should I Film Today?
Writer
Staying at their vacation home in the South of France, parents and filmmaking daughter have different ideas about what it is to make a film. The exuberant parental motivation is immediately diverted into interviews and resulting cinematic experimental arrangements that play with the realization of the film ideas. The result is an experiment between image description and moving image, which paints the portrait of a family that has a passionate relationship to the image of the nature that surrounds it.

Lantouy
Director
“With Lantouy the young German video artist Isabell Spengler pursues a work revolving around the magic perception of the real. The film creates a purely sensuous experience, a place in which the veiled and the unveiled rejoin. The stagnant waters of the Gouffre de Lantouy in the Departement Lot in Southern France form under the gaze of Isabell Spengler a theater of moving matter, in kind of a delicate iridescent explosion.” - François Bonenfant, La Cinémathèque Française, Paris, 2007

Amerikana
Director of Photography
Peter and Chris, two young American friends in their late 20s, go from South Dakota to California on a scooter, and as they travel across the American landscape they see their country through different eyes, ranging from Peter's cynically nihilistic point of view, to Chris' high expectations and romantic notions of the United States.
Psychic Tequila Tarot
Leila
Having escaped her all too liberal parental home, Leila tries to fill her inner emptiness by projecting the wishes and problems of other people onto herself.
On a trip through California, she invites complete strangers to a free tequila tarot card reading in her car, idealistically attempting to be a reflection of the other person and to behave in a radically “selfless” way.
