A lesson in parenting

Bibi and Begbo are a very strange couple. Bibi always walks around covered in band-aids and Begbo wears clothes that are definitely not his size, and also he throws up whenever he gets upset. Despite this, they seem to get by pretty well with their every day life. But what is most startling is their son Albin - who looks like he is a lot older than four years old. In this absurd drama-comedy we follow the family's life coping with being different from everybody else and as well trying to raise their son.

Clothes On A Rainy Day

A father is taking care of a baby in his daily life. He took the baby out and always was nervous when facing the neighbor’s greeting. Sometimes father’s behavior is like a baby. For some reason, the knife could not cut the food while cooking, but it continued to cut the fingers. The boiling water in the pot is bubbling all the time, just like constantly facing chaos every day. The father seemed to temporarily cut off outside sounds only when he was helping the baby to bathe…

Die Urpflanze

During his trip to Italy, Goethe visited the botanical gardens of the cities where he stayed. He fantasized about discovering the existence of the primitive plant: the mold where all the others, despite their difference in shape, would have formed. During the shooting of a film adapted from this trip, I went twice to the Botanical Garden of Naples. Both times the filmstrip was visited by a ghost. I saw there the ghost of this primitive plant, but also the memory of the very beginning of the photographic recording, these photogenic drawings of plants invented by Henry Fox Talbot.

The Shower

‘Save water’ is the backbone of this film which harps on the rural-urban divide in India. One day the villagers discover a shower cubicle on a deserted barren land of Rajasthan. Immediately the word spreads in the entire village and the villagers gather in-front of the cubicle to drink and store water. The mere joy among the villagers were well portrayed throughout the film and the voice over backs it up by saying “While the entire village fulfilled their thirst, an urban man’s shower is still not over” – making us question the amount of water we waste on a daily basis while we go in for a quick shower.

My America

The United States is considered a symbol of freedom, the great social experiment made of democratic principles, equality, and the pursuit of happiness. But does this ideal of prosperity and individual freedom reflect the life of all American citizens? My America recounts today's United States: a nation grappling with increasingly complex social problems and heightened political tensions that have weakened the distinctive characteristics of what is considered the most powerful democracy in the world. Besides this social malaise, there is also the ability and determination of regular citizens who try to challenge and repair the country's moral fiber.

Jule Styne and His Many Lyricists: Distant Melody

It is said that Jule Styne published over 1,500 songs in his lifetime, a staggering number that spans decades and includes dozens of collaborators. Beginning with Sammy Cahn in the 1940s, his lyricists would include names like Betty Comden, Adolph Green, Leo Robin, Bob Merrill, and Stephen Sondheim. Styne wrote some of our most famous songs and classic Broadway hits, with a multitude of lesser-known work along the way. The lasting power of star vehicles like Gypsy and Funny Girl has remained throughout every sea change of cultural mood and sentiment.
