SIDE BY SIDE

Walther regularly visits his wife at her favourite place – at the lake. She has Alzheimer's disease. And every day, he tries to come through to her. Again and again he's striving for their love. We follow him for a couple of hours, where he has to find a chance to get into her world. Every time, Walther tries to find a new way to get her to recognize him. And every time, he hopes today will be one of the good days. One small step after another – like a shy dance.

A short silent film that shows what love can do to one.

SPAGETTHI FOR TWO

A likeable but lonesome man is on his way to lunch. Awaiting him, the outside world lurks menacingly: in his imagination it swarms with would-be crooks, hussies and criminals. What should have been a routine stroll develops into a dark odyssey, triggering a troubled conflict against himself and against the world... and ultimately, it is the underdog who is victorious.

THE CURSE OF SELMEN

Intern Billie, a girl with big dreams of being a star, is keeping a set diary from behind the scenes of a TV movie. Lacking the talent, she does have the drive, the small dog and a love struck cameraman willing to follow her everywhere, capturing every movement and observation. Billie is lusting after the male stars, enviously despising the female actors and determined to not only be a star in the film, but also figure out why there's something strange going on here. More and more, Billie is convinced there's a curse plaguing the set, and she's interviewing the cast and crew to get the real story. Of course, everyone denies the curse, calling the claims 'ridiculous.'

Stand By / The Future is now

Every year, 20,5 billion kWh of power are wasted through "stand-by" functions. That's less then what a city like Berlin needs.

"Stand By" is an advertisement by Michael Ballhaus' initiative "The Future is now".

To bury their mother appropriately, both Martin and Jakob have to take a risk.

IN FORMATICA

The cursor does not move, music is noise, programs are freezing - Your computer seems to have a life of its own? What if the real reason for PC crashes aren't chips, bits and circuits, but a well-deserved coffee break, confused musicians or a hot Trojan Woman? A satire about the mechanization of human and the humanization of technology.

Do you also sometimes dream of your old typewriter?
