Workshop für Demokratie und Menschenrechte 2023

A Punch and Judy show on human rights violations, a delicate quiz on privileges, and vast gaps in knowledge—the workshop for democracy and human rights offers plenty of fuel to spark heated discussions in the group of young teachers. Jakob Fischer’s short film is a laconic chamber play about diverging values.

Der tote Winkel der Wahrnehmung 2025

Vienna, 1996. A mini-DV tape with footage for a student documentary. Alina and Flora interview unreliable witnesses to the appearance of extraterrestrial reptilian creatures. But soon they themselves drift further and further into the narrative: Lizards subjugating humanity through hybridization? Sounds plausible. At some point, the Hofburg is in flames, and reason itself is in ruins. Michael Gülzow's mockumentary hilariously satirizes the media logic and spread of conspiracy ideologies.
