On November 30, 1989, Alfred Herrhausen, CEO of Deutsche Bank, set off in his armored limousine for Frankfurt. At 8:34 a.m., the attack took place. Herrhausen, a top manager with threat level one, was killed instantly. Near the scene of the crime: paper with RAF emblem. Hidden in the bushes: the detonating mechanism of a bomb. An unprecedented, technically sophisticated attack. To this day, the case raises questions: Who were the perpetrators? Why was Herrhausen targeted? To what extent are international terrorist groups involved in the case?

Visualised machine instructions make up their own semantics and are base for human instructions. On a cinema screen these images are detached from their initial meaning.They condense on the picture base and swash into our eyes. Like a random rhizome structure an associative montage of minimalistic user interfaces follows the film's timeline. Our own body perception and our interpretation formed by media conditions become protagonists in a film without narrative.

Henker 3 is mindless no budget fun as our favorite executioner makes his way through the forest killing everything in his path. Henker 3 doesn't take itself seriously and this makes it even more fun. The fact he is mistakened for Karl Berger (killer from Violent Shit) in itself is priceless.

In Rimini Protokoll’s new production, Christian Hempel steps onto the stage for the first time, together with musician and geriatric nurse Benjamin Jürgens and politician Bijan Kaffenberger. They also have Tourette. Collectively with musician Barbara Morgenstern, they put theatre to the test: to what degree can theatre tolerate an absence of intent? How much protection can theatre offer? And after the applause is over, it may become clear that this piece isn’t really about Tourette. It is actually about the audience, about theatre and about the fear of losing control.

Slowing down time, the film takes us on a journey through an ever-changing landscape of shapes in motion. An abstract contemplation on a piece of music by Nils Frahm.

New York restorer Christian Scheidemann is the "art whisperer". Anyone who is concerned about the durability of their sculpture made of eggshells or their painting made of elephant dung or chewing gum automatically ends up in his studio. Works of art by the most renowned artists await treatment there - today it's works by Warhol and Beuys, tomorrow by Paul McCarthy and Robert Gober. Like an empathetic doctor, Christian Scheidemann treats them in the event of accidents - he accompanies them from their creation to their total loss and is thus the central point of contact for artists, collectors and museums.

How do we remember today? How do we relate to what links yesterday to today, past to present? What does it mean to be spectators of stories we never lived, of a history we can only read on books, see in images and hear from other, older people's voices?

In Half Moon, Travis Scott’s “Sicko Mode” is paired with footage of the artist’s Vietnamese father walking in an Asian restaurant, the music transforming his nervous march into a hip catwalk stride. Meanwhile, sluggish, eerie electronic beats often accompany angled shots of apartment interiors, accentuating a certain ghostly nature of such spaces. Music haunts, yet this state of being haunted has nothing to do with horror; it is more hypnagogic and ethereal. Amidst the hauntingly disorienting music, the sense of space is as distracting as the temporal experience.

The narration of a night, or many nights, a celebration, the observation of a queer Dionysian state. Its form changes depending on the circumstance as well as by the personas that alternate and define it. It is not necessarily presented as a literal intoxication but also as an emotional one. The subject experiences a communion, a spiritual encounter that co-exists with a rapture, the division of the soul, its departure from the Sensible World. The individual limits fade away, the subjects lose their outlines and their privacy; they cling to a dissimilarity that lacks a specific shape. The body turns into a place of observation, its pulse, its signs and its facial expressions recorded. As every state of influence and intoxication evolves, it registers on the body, leaving its mark behind.

Raphael is forced by the Austrian Unemployment Office to take an underwhelming job as a night-time security guard.
