"Look for the father... and you will (maybe) find the son... The idea of the film was this, to try for the first time to have a follow-up conversation with my father, to see where it would lead us both, to talk about things we had never talked about (that was the easiest since we had never talked about anything) and to film it, no matter what. I didn't know how it would end for him and me, I just knew that I was going to ask him at some point why he didn't like me and I would listen to his answer well. I thought I had come to make a movie about my father and I made a movie about him and me."

With globalization, Chinese society underwent rapid changes during the “Reform and Opening-Up” period, especially with the widespread use of the term “Made in China.” This term led to changes in visual habits, particularly in the landscapes of some major Chinese cities, such as quickly built skyscrapers and modern, attractive urban scenes. While these landscapes may reflect societal change, I believe they remain superficial. What is more crucial is the “internal” transformation. What is internal? It refers to changes in people’s concepts of survival and their ways of living. Therefore, I spent three years focusing on how these shifts in survival concepts influenced behavior in four of China’s most prominent cities: Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen, (which we now call “Bei,shang,guang,shen”), and recording them

Parents who don't want to take care of their child leave parenting to the mail ordered robot "Auto Mommy" and allow their child to be raised in isolation. One day, they take a look at the monitor to check the child, and then they see the child wearing dog skin and hiding his face. This is not good, the parents think, because they can't send the child to school like this. So they make Auto Mommy peel the dog skin off the child, only to find that the child became a plant without a human face.

At the Lybian border, the oasis of Siwa is the most eastern settlement point of the Berbers of Egypt, the Issiwannes. Isolated for more than two millennia, they have kept their traditions, their customs, as well as their own dialect. In the middle of the desert, Siwa has a particular archaeological wealth: the oracle of Ammon and the true-false tomb of Alexander the Great. A manuscript, today untraceable, also tells that in Siwa they celebrated weddings between boys...

Petar is an intruder. He has skills to break into people’s lifes, to break into their privacies. He observes, examins, studies them. He brings people’s lifes to numbers, to simple statistical data. Data by which he comprehends the chaos. The chaos of life. And just as God, Petar only observes lives and does not interfere with the events. However, it is not in a human nature to remain distant and not to interfere with the reality at all. Especially not when Petar’s help is desperately needed. When he sees himself as the ultimate savior of somebody’s life Petar has to act.But for the people, the line between benevolence and crime is so thin that they can not clearly distinguish these two. They can’t recognize and trust an altruism without suspicion. They are bound to disfigure and misjudge any atempt for openhearted aid and call it a fraud or concealed attempt for an assault. Therefore, the savior has to be destroyed.

ROMA is a hastily drawn together documentary/essay on Rome, drawn from a large amount of material collected over two or three years, and put together in haste for an Italian television commission. The material had all been done for myself, but this particular collection of material was drawn together under a deadline and time limitation set by others. As such I feel it is only partly my own expression, done under the gun for other interests, and to make some needed money. As such this work is compromised - while clearly my own in vision, it is not what I would really do with the material, to which I hope sometime to return. But in the meantime it provides a glimpse of Rome - its deep history, its opulent arts, and its sprawling contemporary urban reality.
