The Soil, which connects us (2025)

The Noise of Time

In the town of Xoco, the spirit of an old villager awakens in search of its lost home.

Tides

Filmed at Masonboro Island, an undeveloped barrier island in southeastern North Carolina, “Tides” contemplates the liminal space between the modern technological world and that more ecological dimension we label as “nature” or “the environment.”

Animot

The experimental documentary filmed at rescue centres in Prague and Vlašim refuses the anthropocentric perspective and views the world through the eyes of wounded animals. The term Animot was taken over from Jacque Derrida. While the French philosopher and deconstructivist uses the term to refer to everything animalistic and non-human, the film, on the other hand, uses intimate details to point out the proximity between human beings and animals. They are connected by their vulnerability, helplessness and mortality.

The Psychedelic Experience

Blue Movie

C+M, for YK. Subtractive colour blending is used in an attempt to conjure Yves Klein's 'L'accord bleu (RE 10)', 1960. The limitations imposed by media and technology ensure that my perfect pigment never is, and that what is produced is ephemeral, declarative, and reverent of the impure. Laser printed onto recycled 16mm film in 2014.

Pepe taucht ab

Pepe Lange goes swimming in the Kiel Fjord every day. When temperatures allow, he goes snorkeling. He explores the underwater world and collects trash. The short film follows him on his special patrol. This gives viewers a glimpse into a mysterious world that normally remains hidden from most of us. When we walk along the Kiel Fjord, we can see the fjord, but not quite into it. We can only guess what it looks like below the surface. That's why filmmaker Sven Bohde and his team want to offer the opportunity to look beneath the surface and experience what it's like down there together with Pepe Lange.
