Nothing Against Nothing 2011 (6)

Young married couple Radek and Johana are considering adoption. In order to weigh up the possible risks, they gatecrash a meeting of their contemporaries who grew up in adoptive families and contacted each other via internet chat rooms. A group of thirty-somethings get together at a campsite for a few days in order to set up an association in support of adoption. Despite their shared fate and "noble” intentions, the members of this small community don’t hit it off. Where does pretentious tolerance end and buck-passing indifference begin? And what has decent morality got in common with xenophobia? As an ironic reflection that questions how prepared we should be to help each other out, the film offers a sophisticated and poetic take on the grimly authentic style of the Dogme 95 Manifesto. This satirical comedy was the result of collaboration with the LÁHOR/Soundsystem theatre group, which focuses on realistic collective stage improvisation within the structure of a predetermined story.

FREM 2020

Incomplete thoughts and fragments of dialogue, diverse music interrupted by rushes and glitches, and the seemingly confused, unanchored camera, create a disturbing, philosophical reflection on the limits of anthropocentric thinking.

Liebe 2017

Liebe. What begins as a trivial romantic etude about the lives of four young people who arrive on the island of Rügen to shoot a film about love gradually descends into a vortex of mutual suspicion, self-accusation, recriminations, and animalistic sex. When one of the two girls apparently drowns in the stormy waves of the Baltic Sea, the fates of those involved head toward an unexpectedly dark climax. The mysterious drama Liebe is a tribute to the goddess of cult and pagan times, when gods themselves entered into people. Whether they wanted it or not.
