Der Blick (2023) DE, 22 minutes German spoken, English subtitles (English title: The Gaze) Klaus (mid-thirties) spends his summer holidays in a hot Airbnb apartment in the big city. The flat is owned by a midwife, which Klaus - having a deep-rooted fear of kids - sees as an unlucky sign. Frustrated with life, he doesn’t do much apart from endlessly swiping on his phone, warming up microwave meals and spying on neighbors through a camcorder with an extreme zoom function. The TV is always on in the background, spreading a constant stream of negativity. An ongoing civil war in the US being the dominating topic. He leaves the apartment as little as possible, since he prefers the safety of his private space. There, he can hide behind his camera while observing the outside world. But is Klaus only looking at others, or is he being looked at himself as well? WATCH TRAILER

Pinks (2019) DE/NL/SR, 110 minutes (2023 re-cut: 87 minutes) Dutch spoken, English subtitles The Netherlands in the year 2363. Three centuries full of devastating conflicts, extreme climate change and natural disasters have turned the entire European continent into a nearly deserted wilderness. The area finds itself in the aftermath of long-lasting colonial oppression, of which the last convulsions are still tangible. Any form of government is long-gone, and the only existing law is the law of nature. The few remaining inhabitants are struggling to survive in this desolate situation, and when a new group of fortune seekers sets foot ashore, panic breaks out. These intruders have big plans.

Al Inn (2016) DE/CO, 48 minutes Arabic, Italian and Dutch spoken, English subtitles Al Inn shows a combination of collected amateur material and homemade footage shot with a smartphone. The film serves as an aesthetic collage of contemporary reality. It is an ironic glorification of paradise: on one hand the unearthly (holy) paradise depicted in a dreamlike variety of visual material, including scenes from modern conflict zones. On the other hand the earthly (everyday) paradise, portrayed as life aboard a cruise ship and experienced through the eyes of Boudewijn, a veteran who lost his wife and kids during the terrorist attacks in Paris in 2015.
