An image flows downstream to synchronise with another image. The film develops a pensive and meditative experience by adapting the paintings of J. M. W. Turner to a moving image, and transforming it into an unnaturally-balanced, mirror image. The film shares similar traits to the works of Yang Yongliang, a contemporary Chinese artist.
Through superimposition of two moving images shot simultaneously, a slowed-down, long static shot of a riverscape, and a long zoom out from the stream to the same riverscape, the film begins in chaos and journeys towards harmony.
UPDATE, ERINNERUNG

Completion Date:2019 - November
Update, memory is an art action, a performance in berlin. The film shows the superficiality. A memory in the individual does not or hardly ever take place. The visible memory in Rome of the actors walking along the busy Kurfürstadamm in berlin hardly attracts attention. The present is saturated with images and events. In this sense the performance is a reminder of memory.

War Save Me
Director Jelmer Wristers
Netherlands
Runtime 40:00
Completion Date:May 9, 2019
WAR SAVE ME gives us a raw, both alienating and poetic insight into the thoughts of P, a restless homeless man. As he roams the city in search of ways to function, he starts to long for the clarity and clean purpose of war. The film sketches the life of the homeless as aimless, both restless and hectic; a life where boredom and constant tension go hand in hand. It shows us without a clear narrative and without falling into clichés about the inconveniences and invisiblities of our society.

Jealousy
Director Kimberly Burleigh
United States
Runtime 7:18
Completion Date:January 2, 2020
Jealousy is an experimental 3D animation. It features an elemental digital construction of the plantation house meticulously described in the seminal 1957 novel La Jalousie by French writer Robbe-Grillet. No characters are depicted in the animation – just as the novel emphasizes settings and objects over characters/dialogue. The compulsively observed settings and objects reveal the obsessive mindset of the main character, a jealous husband who suspects his wife of having an affair. The soundtrack features sounds described in the novel; nocturnal animal cries, insects whirring, etc. The animation expands on the novel by making settings and objects dynamic; furniture self-constructs, objects move, and lights shift.

Completion Date:January 3, 2020
The actress Kaori enter into different dream worlds. It is a journey into their own interior. No straightforward view, it is a side glance unexplainable, irritating, psychedelic worlds in which dreams mingle. In between, Kaori awakens and is visibly confused. A dove always appears in her dreams. It reveals open what Kaori connects with the pigeon. It could indicate a childhood experience with a desire to fly. In the end, she travels to space as a pilot of a cogeneration plant. A dream from which she awakens happily. Music is elemental in the movie. Kaori plays a theremin in one of her dreams. In the first dream she stands in a church in front of a digital video altarpiece. This original Triptichon was a commissioned work in the context of the 150th anniversary of the Elisabeth Church Langenhagen.
