Heavy Haulage- In The Jungle

The São Manoel Hydroelectric Plant: in the heart of Brazil, deep in the Amazon rainforest. Everything the site needs must be transported via a long and arduous route. These transformers weigh over 200 metric tons each - they have to travel 4,000 kilometers before they reach their final destination. The workers at Megatranz are experts: long distances are easy for them. The haulage convoy covers most of the route easily - but the last 100 kilometers are difficult. The temperature is 40 degrees Celsius in the shade, the conditions merciless, the roads dusty and the bridges old. This is demanding work for the workers and the cargo. But it’s also a bonding experience. Mistakes can be fatal. The way across the river is dangerous. A ferry is repurposed into a barge: a highly risky maneuver. Nerves of steel are just part of the job - but that’s no use when your luck runs out.

The Wiesel Tracked Vehicle - Firepower For Paratroopers

The weapon carrier Wiesel is a small track vehicle of the Bundeswehr. Visually, it looks like a toy tank, but it's packed with firepower and power. The 20mm machine gun and the anti-tank guided missile TOW are dangerous weapons. The weasel was designed to be extra small and light so that it can be quickly brought into its field of application by helicopter and transport aircraft. It is probably the most diverse armored vehicle in the Bundeswehr.

Inventory 2021

Inventory 2021 is a remake of the original film Inventur-Metzstrasse 11 shot by Yugoslav director Želimir Žilnik in Munich in 1975. In this second version of his film, set in the city of Chemnitz and shot in 2021, Öğrenci offers an alternative look at the situation of people of different genders, ages and ethnicities living in Germany as immigrants. As in the original work, the filming takes place inside the building where the people are supposedly staying, who, one after the other, introduce themselves to the camera by briefly telling who they are and how they live their situation as immigrants.
