Jonas, Birgit and Anja are leaving for the Brooklyn Bridge. By taxi, buying beer, drinking in the street, joking, running, dancing on the bridge. It was a very funny afternoon.

The shower is filmed by two miniature cameras in the cabin. A few minutes later the shower film can be seen on the associated "showerbox.net" site on the Internet and can be downloaded on to your own computer.

Stan Brakhage shows his new films at MoMA in New York. Before that, he said hello to me, Jonas Mekas, Birgit, the Anthology team and others. Later, we return home by metro.

Self-portrait of the director as a junk princess. To the sound of a yéyé song, she mimes her pleasure in every sense of the word.

The skyline of San Francisco. It is about the filming of a friend, Inga, and of myself sunbathing and playing with the camera.

This is the same type of film as the one made in Rotterdam in 1991. I tried to film myself while I was taking a shower, but the steam and fog are the main elements.

You can see feet and hands in the North Sea water. It comes and goes in a poetical way.

My short films are like little drawing scribbles so I call them "film-scribbles". In this movie I put the camera on a tripod and start doing a performance naked in the bathroom. I try to expand my movement in cooperation with the speed of the camera to create a new dimension of body space.

«A film of a man in drag doing an erotic and eventually nude dance in a gravel pit. Mostly edited in camera, the fey dance is in surprisingly good sync with the music, making it an amusing send-up of Ravels macho rythms». Fred Camper.

Birgit takes a shower with an old thing that we normally use to boil water.

I had forgotten this 16mm black and white film I made in the mid-nineties (maybe 1995). We tried to perform and make a trash violence sex movie in the tradition of the Kuchar brothers or film noir. The girl is Georgia Sulla Tella, the man a real police cop we asked for the role for the bad guy playing in the red-light area of Frankfurt. He was happy to play a bad boy and he is real good. The music is "Sleepwalk" and the drums from a Pink Floyd record. I shot the film and edited it later on my own. The apartment was the one I was living with Georgia, it was our real outfit. She always wore this kind of stuff, you know all the good girls were wild.

A funny movie where you see Lars and I taking a bath in our dilapidated bathroom.

Ion Garnica is a Spanish dancer from the William Forsythe ballets. Naked, he dances at my house, for my camera and me. So it's not a typical dance film, it's more about a symbiosis between the movements of the camera and those of the dancer.

Conny visits me when she is eight months pregnant. She takes a bath; she is very happy about the upcoming birth of the baby.

Ion Garnica, sweating after dancing, goes to take a shower.

With blond hair, focusing on the eyes and teeth.

I filmed myself underwater holding my camera in my hand. The film is shown upside down, so that it feels like I'm drinking all the water around me. Some sequences make me appear like a dead person underwater, others show me catching my breath.

A film about me wearing only a rubber mask and crawling on all fours in the grass.

In this performance film, the filmmaker presents herself as a naked and clothed being who dances to music from the sixties, puts on different outfits and has lots of fun.

Short film directed by Anja Czioska.

This is a film that I made in two months about six friends. You see them at home; the way they live, the way they bathe and shower. It's also about my life. Six short portraits on the way I approach my friends. What they say is not that important, as these are private conversations in a relaxed atmosphere. The music in the film is that of my friends or groups. The two members of my girl band The 3 Pussy Kisses are also part of the film with a long song that I sing, Oh What a Wonderful World. Manfred, Martina, Hans, Andrea, Birgit, Matthias are the stars.

First shower film. The camera on a tripod is on the "timer" and I move very slowly so that the viewer feels that something is wrong.
