Oh! The Four Seasons poster
NR

Aurand and Pfeiffer filmed each other at four famous sites in Europe: walking in a summer dress through the snow in front of the Reichstag in Berlin, spinning a young boy again and again through the air in Red Square in Moscow, climbing on a hot day into the waterfall at the Place de la Concorde in Paris, and, as two angels in London, walking through the night of the City. The film begins with a text about improvisation by Jonas Mekas read by himself.

This Is an End poster
4.0

This experimental short film plays on genre conventions and expectations. Loosely connected elements from the Nouvelle Vague, thrillers and silent film raise questions: What do the three young men in the car have to do with the woman in the café? Who is she waiting for? Electronic sounds from the artist padeluun, reminiscent of radio noises, link the scenes and give the impression that aliens are the observers of these mysterious events.
