City Run 2023
Experimental short film
Experimental short film
Two young women making videos for their Youtube channel, stuck in beauty-industry and product-placement. A tyranny of clicks, likes and follower, a gamble with truths and autenticitates.
A surgeon warns of the consequences of excessive headbanging. A meteorologist recognizes signs of climate change in the cauliflower shape of storm clouds. A soccer fan buys a sausage out of boredom. And a nuclear power plant employee almost triggers a nuclear disaster because of a flirtation with a trainee. Spirals of associative storytelling spiral through a conglomerate of fact and fiction.
People, animals and buildings create a visual echo in this surreal, hand-drawn animation. Obtuse, atmospheric and engaging.
An organ left over after an operation causes turbulence in sober everyday hospital life.
Experimental short film
A man and his friends, a little money and an idea. A woman and her family, half unhappy, half satisfied. A grotesque from Frankfurt, about the city that eats its children.
In a large building full of sounds, people are waiting for a new melody that will change their lives. No one has realised that it has already begun to play.

Something is brewing over the no-man's land around the Wall. Nevertheless, a young man ventures onto the barricades. With his idiosyncratic protest, he defies borders and, without suspecting it, sets significant signs.
