ILMS
FREEDOM TIKCET (3:48)
Freedom ticket is a short film that questions government funded security and safety in public places, in particular in Berlin public transportation. It references real and current events of crime and brutality and highlights victims that are marginalised groups from the black and LGBTQI•+ community. It appeals to the public and government and calls for a protection system.

HERE IS WHERE YOU'LL FIND ME (4:39)
A wanderer looks for his past but a present stranger interrupts him.

WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE? (7:00)
When the original cast fails to show up for a film shooting, 4 actors and 2 videographers spontaneously come together to create a film. With only three hours to be together, what comes after is a conversation on now, never, future, whether.

WHEN RIVERS RUN INTO THE OCEAN (4:01)
Experimental film about the time, collective consciousness and the confusion of our individual actions.

SEVEN OF TENTACLES (6:55)
The Oktopus can rapidly alter its shape and colour to adapt to any situation, communicate emotions or escape from danger. When self care becomes synonymous with self-optimisation and pop culture aesthetisises diverse sisterhood without acknowledging its complexity – what can we learn from these deep-sea dwellers about surviving in a world that wants us to consume or be consumed?

THICK SKIN (7:00)
Life teaches us: "You will need to develop a thick skin in order to survive“. For every slap and every fail, we need another layer. The thicker, the safer. But what if I don't just want to survive? When the coat is too heavy, the protection becomes a burden, and the urge to be myself screams. Where can I be naked and vulnerable?
