Reprise

Reprise is a playful narrative experiment of a critical nature - a riddle in a seamless loop. The film is a circular narrative made out of 2 intertwined loops. It can be shown either as a short film, or as an endless one (as an installation).
Second Thoughts
Director of Photography
When Marie’s boyfriend proposes to her in front of his entire family, she doesn't know what to say and flees to the countryside to think it over alone. But her thoughts accompany her. They sit around her in flesh and blood: Her mother pesters her with baby names, exboyfriends climb down trees and a woman in a sari narrates her life in poems. Her would-be fiancé eventually joins her, clashing his own luggage of thoughts with hers. But what if you show your thoughts to each other? How much honesty can a relationship take? In her first feature, director Zora Rux, an apprentice of Swedish filmmaker Roy Andersson, tells a surrealistic story of the search for one’s true self in poetic tableaus.

The Massacre of Anroechte

День Победы
Director of Photography
Каждый год 9 мая в Трептовпарке в Берлине собираются люди. Они приходят с флагами, цветами, плакатами, одетые празднично или в советскую военную форму. Они возлагают цветы к памятнику советскому воину-освободителю, поют, танцуют, пьют. Они отмечают день победы СССР над нацистской Германией. Берлин, 72 года спустя.
Napoleon’s James Bond
Director of Photography
Charles Louis Schulmeister (1770-1853) was a smuggler and a revolutionary, but also a chief of police and Napoleon Bonaparte's favorite spy. A look back on his adventurous life with the purpose of unraveling the many mysteries of his unique path.
Аустерлиц
Director of Photography
Картина «Аустерлиц» снималась на территории бывших концлагерей Дахау, Берген-Бельзен, Равенсбрюк, Заксенхаузен и Дора-Миттельбау, и своим названием отсылает к одноименному роману Винфрида Зеебальда, посвященному памяти о Холокосте. На самом деле неважно в каких лагерях снимался фильм, суть в том, что из него следует, что люди перестают соотносить увиденное с реальностью. Они начинают посещать концлагеря как очередной туристический аттракцион, забывая о том, что эти места - фабрики по переработке людей в пепел, места страшных преступлений против человечества. Фильм - кинонаблюдение вызывает у зрителя вопросы: Зачем они туда пришли? Что они там ищут? Как хранить эту память и какие проблемы возникают в результате того, что мы называем меморизация.
