We are all trapped in our lives and change, even when it is necessary, can often be painful. Sometimes our life plan is sabotaged from the outside, but sometimes the need for a change of perspective comes from deep within. How do we deal with these extreme situations?

APART FROM ME - A PART OF ME

Our inner child can give us lightness and carefreeness, but it can also confront us with trauma. The film visualizes this inner monologue that accompanies us throughout our lives.

Germany 2023, Director: Luzie Deter Animation/Experimental film, 3 min.

THIS IS NOT A CHARACTER, THIS IS BETRAYAL

A celebrated autobiographical debut novel. A reading at the Literaturhaus. A car journey through the Ruhr region. A mother and her son, separated by the shame of their origins, which actually unites them.

Germany 2024, Director: Romina Küper, Feature film, 14 min., German with English subtitles

IGNORE YOUR TRUE FEELINGS AT YOUR OWN PERIL

Suppressed emotions make their way - in case of doubt, up the gullet. In a video diary, the director documents the struggle with her body during a bipolar mixed state.

Germany 2024, Director: Miranda Siegel, Documentary film, 15 min.

STRANGERS LIKE US

Laura and Elias are just settling into their suburban life. When another couple comes to visit, the bourgeois idyll turns surreal. Whose home, indeed whose life is this?

Austria 2024, Director: Pipi Fröstl, Felix Krisai, Feature film, 22 min, German with English subtitles
