Money. Murder. Zurich.: Borchert and the original sin

Borchert and his boss Dominique can't believe it: Captain Furrer, respected top investigator of the Zurich Criminal Investigation Department and fair opponent of the unorthodox lawyer duo, is now himself under urgent suspicion of murder! Corrupt colleagues want to pin the murder of young policewoman Emmi, who could have been dangerous to them as a witness, on him. Emmi had confided in her mentor Furrer that brothel owner Jean Berger had been deliberately shot during a raid by colleagues. Now Furrer fears he will be eliminated himself. With Dominique's help, the suspended captain goes into hiding to prove his innocence on his own.

Parallax

On October 2, 1968, the people of Mexico staged a massive protest against the country’s bid to host the Olympic Games. The Mexican army responded by killing hundreds of students in the streets. Employing disruptive montage, Parallax combines images from this original protest in 1968 and those filmed on the 50th anniversary of the student massacre, held October 2, 2018. The film offers a critique of the cyclical nature of political tyranny, while attempting to develop a new audiovisual language that drifts between the political and the poetic.
