Nor­man­nen­strasse

Contact with parts of my family is broken. I have only a nebulous image of their past. My grandparents supposedly worked for the Stasi, the secret police of the GDR, located in East-Berlin, and my father was part of the anti-terror squad. Their operations are buried in silence. This emotional and personal short film is the document of failure of finding answers, after they backed out of participating.

Sieni­awka

A journey into the irrational subconscious of humanity. STEFAN attempts to make his way through a post-industrial no-man’s land. An encounter with a stranger forces the line between reality and imagination to become blurred. The future and the past become intertwined. Visions of another time emerge from Stefan’s mind. The cold-blooded surgeon used to work in the dissecting room. There was a cinema where everyone would go on the weekend. A state of complete delirium caused a young man's heart to stop beating. In drifting through memory and the imaginary, Stefan witnesses death, mental illness and the margins of humanity in a passing world that resembles our own. All that remains are ruins - everything begins to dissolve. The concrete world no longer resembles the one that he was forced to leave. Internal chaos is mirrored by external chaos.

Land of Joy

In between the Alps and the Venice Lagoon, Veneto is one of the wealthiest industrial areas in Europe, but it hasn't always been this way. Forty years ago the locals were poor farm workers. They had to emigrate to Germany, Switzerland, and Belgium to earn their living. Through their hard work they made Veneto what it is today, despite the last global downturn: one of the most affluent Italian regions. The focus of the film is deliberately on the native inhabitants of Veneto, on their history, their point of view, and on their distrust for foreigners. The Northern League, the strongest political party in Veneto is claiming for independence from Italy. It expresses obsessive fear and rage against foreigners and, on this basis, would want to recreate the sense of community in a globalized world. The camera captures the distinctive features of people’s faces, the tension in their words and moments of silence and reflection. Through amusing and grotesque encounters with a motley bunch of characters: from a Pakistani man who is hopelessly looking for a job, to an over-excited rat poison manufacturer; from an old man growing onions between warehouses to a housewife who loves new gadgets, a diverse vision emerges and the atmosphere of the places comes alive in its true spirit. Among factories, gardens and party meetings, empty rituals and grossness, the film takes us on a ride along a landscape which is also an inner landscape; of both comic and tragic characters, who are struggling through the mechanism of work and money, or just lingering in a withered past.
