Die Verfilmung meines Lebens
/ The story of my life
The film shows Burger’s planned filmic biography of his life; in this, he collaborates with Alfred Hitchcock, who writes Kim Novak into the script without consulting Burger. Insinuated intimacy is rejected, he breaks with Hitchcock in anger. The meeting with Buster Keaton doesn’t go to plan either; first Keaton throws Burger’s script into the lake at Schliersee, then he destroys his film set. A trip to Paris to meet Franz Liszt turns things around...

LOOM
/ LOOM
Loom tells the story of a successful catch. A moth being caught in a spider’s web. Struggling to escape, the moth’s panicky movements only result in less chances for survival. What follows is the type of causality everyones expecting. The spider appears, claims its prey and feeds on it. The way nature works.
But it's the point of view that creates an intense relationship between the hunter and its victim. There is much more to explore, much more to feel if one takes the time to really experience the content of a split second.

neue Autorenwünsche
/ new desires of an author
As chance is limited by a bubble of opportunity, the various levels of this short film proceed. The search that also impels this film is that of the emergence of a story. Raw footage from another amateur short film is used, one of the many debut works in existence. Collaged and compressed with inner and outer voices, an unfamiliar visual piece emerges.
The 1960s authors’ debate is repositioned: it is not the author who is explored here as the driving force, but the author’s compulsiveness. In search of "film", it also reveals the necessity to exercise discipline. And the dominant audiovisual phenomenon as we know it is both compulsive and disciplined.

Primetime
/
First you could think that the video is an end title of a movie. On closer inspection you realise that the words are write-ups of movies. It is not clear where they come from. But you could say that the movie is: clear, crass and clever: a stroke of genius!; really gripping; completely baseless; far too long; much too sentimental; or , deeply religious; at least the video primetime by Thomas Judisch is highly moving; pretty trivial; funny and intelligent...

Reise zum Mars
/ Journey to Mars
The film is based on a script from 1920s composed by Walter Dexel, a constructivist artist. In a concentrative form Sebastian Binder tells an adventurous story of three travellers to Mars. The band Maren Montauk composed the congenial sound.
This first film adaption puts across the naive, imperial and aesthetic fantasies that existed at the start of modernity.

Woman Warrior Exposed (Sigourney Weaver Remix)
/ Woman Warrior Exposed (Sigourney Weaver Remix)
Sigourney Weaver is represented as a female power icon in pop culture, though several roles from her filmography epitomise Mulvey's notion of the Male Gaze, whereby Weaver is objectified and sexualised in the character personas she portrays. The iconic horror narrator John Newland draws public attention to the discord between Weaver's selective recollection and her actual cinematic record. This work constitutes a Fair-Use of any copyrighted material as provided for in section 107 of the US copyright law.
