Today with the new film by Angela Schanelec ICH WAR ZUHAUSE, BUT… which won the Silver Bear for Best Director this year at the Berlinale.
Afterwards we have a very special treat. A film double in the presence of director Ted Fendt. We show both of his previous 60-minute feature films: SHORT STAY (2016) and CLASSICAL PERIOD (2018). Both on analogue film! Then we will have a Q&A with Ted Fendt.
