Without water, no life on planet Earth, or any other planet whatsoever. But can we imagine a life in which water, in various forms, dominates 
everything?  

Perspectives

An invitation to reflect upon the lure of science and technology and our obsession with progress through a series of films and an exhibition.

Fata Morgana

IFFR 2018

What exactly is written in the stars? Experimental filmmaker Lurf scoured over a century of cinematic history for depictions of the heavens. Without compromising his criteria, he edited them together chronologically, including their original soundtracks. A visually dizzying trip.

A peaceful image transforms imperceptibly into a blood-red scene. Below the soothing waves of the sea, deep unrest simmers. Digital impressionism at its best.

Twenty Nine Minutes at Sea

The eternal quiet of a mountain ridge is but a deception. Melting glaciers constantly change the surface and uncover old traces of human presence.

Résistance

The Chilean Atacama Desert provides the backdrop for a series of static shots that foreground emptiness. The natural setting becomes a mental space.

The Landscape Is Empty and Emptiness Is Landscape

The credit crunch did not really affect island nation Tuvalu, but climate change is bringing it down all too literally now. Yet online it might still have a future.

A categorical accumulation of abstract patterns. Lines, colours and sounds obey an impenetrable logic. A quiet film that dares to be resolutely experimental.
