Short film that might or might not be about murder.

Hurrycan has nothing to do with whirlwinds, although in this Nekes film the pictures journey across the screen, excitedly, spasmodically and flickering. The title weds the element of haste with the notion of a film can, which in this case turns out to be something of a Pandora's Box and contains expectations for a new way of seeing. A computerized shutter system that Nekes had built.

This film subtly contrasts banal reality with parody, using technical film techniques like time lapse and color filtering to parallel a home theater screening with a seduction scene. The director skillfully stimulates the viewer’s erotic imagination in a delicate and ironic manner, while also incorporating amateur film flaws dramaturgically and adding a socially critical, satirical element.

A film director's personal ad, seeking a woman who is also a filmmaker.

A landscape is filmed with a single-frame camera 48 hours from a point of view.

The great, increasing intensity of the film results from an interaction of the actress and camera not yet attempted in this way. The phases of emotions of a life lived through in a few minutes - the theme that the film has posed - are completely expressed. Time-lapse and delay immediately express the external process, the performer adequately succeeds in demonstrating the internal processes. Interesting are the nuances with which the color scheme follows the development of the idea. This applies here in a special way also from the acoustic processing.

Bernd Upnmoor's Dom the title refers to the famous funfair at Hamburg - varies an increasingly meaningless shot of a few minutes on a carousel by exploring all the possibilities of colour film techniques and succeeds (in Upnmoor's words) in "making the viewers' senses tremble and flutter."

Sunsets instead of TV.
