In an observation over four seasons THE STANDSTILL shows Vienna and its surroundings along with encounters with people during and after the Corona crisis. The film tells of the immediate and also the long-term effects, which can only be evaluated and classified in the future.

A film about our garbage that is found in the most remote areas and about the people who try to dispose of it. Not only in the sea and on coasts, also in the Arctic, the jungle, high up on the mountains and deep inside the desert, garbage is found almost everywhere in various forms and dimensions, sometimes as whole car wrecks, old TV sets or simply construction rubble, but mostly in the form of disintegrated plastic particles a few millimetres in size. Humanity has handed out its visiting cards thoroughly.

The penis as a source of identity and restlessness, legitimation for claims to dominance and fantasies of superiority, the object of fears of failure and loss: this small part of the body occupies a similarly highly dimensioned status in the physical and social self-image of men as does the brain. "Penissimo" traces this circumstance and its consequences for human culture with the help of six men with different linguistic and cultural backgrounds who try to investigate what role the penis plays as a key to the essence of masculinity.

Фильм-размышление о создании гуманоидных роботов-андроидов. Тема раскрывается с захватывающих разнообразных точек зрения, благодаря участию в картине японского гуру робототехники Хироси Исигуро, трансгуманистки Наташи Вита-Мор и многих других. В то время как разница между людьми и андроидами постепенно стирается, конфликт между технологиями и социальной ответственностью растет настолько же, насколько расширяются утопические видения. Из этой мозаики возникает напряженная амбивалентность, которая, с одной стороны, ставит под сомнение футуристические процессы, а с другой — восхваляет тех, кто осмеливается создавать эти новые машины, которые пытаются отразить нашу человечность.
