Sailboats and trees after the rising sea level flooded the continents.
A poetic exploration of a German myth – the forest. As if in trance, the camera′s gaze glides over tunnel-like avenues of woodland monocultures, leading the viewer through green spaces created by humankind, ensnarling itself in the chaotic structures of primeval forests and eventually finding its way out via an artificial clearing.

The film is a small, very individual story about seeing. In 5 minutes, an animation of pencil drawings shows how a figure follows one's own vision ... playing with it, succumbing to it, transforming it, feeling it, experiencing ... accompanied by a voice and its multiple
Super 8 (Color) film by Helga Fanderl
"This film is a found footage montage of war coverage since World War II. The clips are taken from television documentaries from Arte to CNN. The images show aestheticized fireworks from Dresden to Bagdad, where people only appear as shadows. The sound is also a collage with Liszt's 'Prelude' as the pathetic announcement of the nazi news to the fanfare of the CNN. Only in the last sequences death becomes real. The images of operational missions comes from amateur videos of the American soldiers who have posted them on the net, accompanied by rock music." - Birgit Hein.

Sportfreunde Stiller is only the sixth German band ever to record an MTV Unplugged concert. An accolade for the three boys from Munich. The title 'Unplugged in New York' can be read with a wink as 'New York' is just outside Munich: In a stunt hall of the Bavaria Film Studios the 'Sportis' were playing the biggest hits from their previous five albums, two cover songs and three brand new tracks. And they have invited guests: actress Meret Becker, The Subways and Udo Jürgens. A special kind of a "Best of", a must-see for any fan!
A crush of 450.000 people descended on the grounds of an abandoned military base to write history as images of the biggest concert staged in Canada were broadcast around the world, in a public declaration that Torontos SARS outbreak is over. This concert sprawled across an expanse of grass and tarmac equivalent to 540 football fields called Downsview Park, and was meant to prove that Toronto was a safe place to visit. AC/DC were at the top of their game, proving to all who witnessed, that they are truly one of the greatest rock 'n' roll bands ever.

The film is both a representation of the installation elements (tiled mosaics of images projected on four walls and the ceiling of a gallery) and a record of the installation / performance, with footage of the installation in situ with Kluge seated within it reading out his texts. It's dedicated to Hans Richter and begins with an account of a 1975 meeting with the great experimental director, and goes on to reflect on the simultaneity of film history and the nature of art (the bond between epoch).

Wir bitten dich, verführe uns! (We beg you to seduce us! ) is a travel through a young woman's mind that is strung out between old victorian virtues and a contemporary life style. We find ourselves in Surrealistic settings and expressionistic film inspired worlds, that reminiscence eclectically of films like Wiene's The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1919), Luhrmann's Moulin Rouge (2001) and Maddin's The Saddest Music in the World (2003). The main character is played by the artist Carola Schmidt herself. In the film she is presenting the artist as a sinner, as someone who is emprisoned, struggeling with social adaptability and conventions. Schmidt looks at a drawing of a staircase that is perfectly identical with a staircase in the film and thereby creates confusement about who or what is in control. Schmidt is insinuating that what we see is already a plan, but leaves it up to the viewer to decide whether it is destiny or subjective control.

A short animation about the aberrations and confusions of love.
«I’m something special»: a graceful lady in court dress declaims this sentence in the late Baroque interior of Schloss Solitude in Stuttgart. A chorus of male voices answers her from the castle stair: «We love you». A monotonous yet grotesque litany is created, that acquires a rather neurotic note in being so repetitious. Reduction to two camera settings, which strictly track the two axes of the Baroque interior, enhances the impression. The prologue is a sequence in which a child, also in court dress, leads the viewer into this absurd scenario. In the end banality breaks into the artificially generated tension as ironic relief.
