An elderly couple walks towards the camera in a snowy countryside road lit by the front lights of a car. Cars come near and leave. The couple is identified by the short appearences of light in the dark. The video creates a suspense feeling of distance, nearness and waiting; things confronted in the relationship between parents and their adult children.THE THIEF OF BAGDAD

Drunken fishes singing around sinking objects from a famous boat ... An underwater documentary about the wild life of deep seas.ADRIFT
NORWAY 2003, 10:00 MIN., COLOR DIRECTED BY INGER LISE HANSEN
Adrift is shot on the arctic island of Spitzbergen and in Norway. It combines time-lapse photography with stop-motion animation of the landscape. Through camera-angles and framing the film gradually dislocates the viewer from a stable base where one looses the sense of scale and grounding. Adrift takes perception itself as the subject of its journey.ORWELLNESS DISCHINGERWEG
GERMANY 2002/2004, 10:30 MIN., COLOR, GERMAN WRITTEN AND DIRECTED BY FERDINAND LUDWIG EDITING, SOUND EDITING FERDINAND LUDWIG CAMERA ANDREA ROGGON
Manchmal wird die Fahrt langsamer, das dumpfe Motorengeräusch leiser. Man hört eine Stimme, die einen Namen sagt, und irgendetwas über irgendjemand anderes, und dass man aufpassen muss. Erst allmählich wird klar, dass hier Bewohner über ihre Nachbarschaft im Dischingerweg berichten.“Dischingerweg“ in Stuttgart Wolfbusch, a residential street built up by unemployed people in a self-help project in 1938 is a very unusual area and can be distiguished by one thing: its high degree of commonness. Everyone in the neighbourhood knows each other, everyone helps each other and that has been going on for quite an eternity. An observation-like camera motion through hedges and fences shows petty bourgeoisy from one house to the next. Sometimes the camera motion slows down, the dull sound of the car engine turns down. You can hear a voice mentioning a name and something about someone else. Gradually you realise, that the residents talk about their neighbourhood in Dischingerweg.
