To Sit On Watch

A person sits in the waiting room. The sound of the wind slowly transforms into screaming antiabortion activists greeting Cologne. Unclear whether we are in memories or an inner struggle, we see how she slowly begins to change from the observed to the observer. Mary and Jesus cry. An associatively edited film about waiting, about abortion and abortion opponents, about shame, and about filmmaking as a form of resistance, as a way to take a countershot, to shift from the hunted into the hunter and create your own images.

Nothing Personal

Alone in her empty flat, from her window Anne observes the people passing by who nervously snatch up the personal belongings and pieces of furniture she has put out on the pavement. Her final gesture of taking a ring off her finger signals she is leaving her previous life in Holland behind. She goes to Ireland, where she chooses to lead a solitary, wandering existence, striding through the austere landscapes of Connemara. During her travels, she discovers a house that is home to a hermit, Martin.
