Two Young Men Shooting a Video

In the middle of the night two German teenagers are shooting home videos on their webcam. As they film themselves dancing, undressing and putting on new and matching outfits slowly a more disturbing intention is revealed. Through the distant and yet intimate eye of their webcam we observe as they argue over fashion and awkwardly discuss politics, biology, great men and punishing all those they consider below their standards for humanity.

News 23/06/2016 – Zeit der Unruhe

It’s the 23rd of June 2016. In the UK, a critical referendum is well underway, and across the Atlantic, an ominous American presidential campaign is gathering force. In Sweden, news broadcasting is carrying on as usual. In Germany, however, an identical, yet distorted, news broadcast is simultaneously being constructed by the citizens themselves. In the height of the Berlin summer, the Zeit der Unruhe starts to unfold.

Decay

A woman pays a visit to her old boyfriend. After a romantic evening together she finds make-up from another woman in the bathroom. Angrily she bites him in the penis.

Unwiederbringlich Entflieht die Zeit ist eine Chronik über das Loslassen. In drei Tagesroutinen, still und humorvoll beobachtet, begleitet die Filmemacherin ihre Großeltern bis in den Tod. In dem ständigen Konflikt zwischen Enkelin und Filmemacherin, ist sie gezwungen ihre Komfortzone zu verlassen. So entsteht durch die Kamera ein Weg, sich mit dem Sterben auseinander zu setzen.
