Freud

Maya Mahler never truly existed. Only a part of her did. As she undergoes an experimental form of therapy another side of her begins to emerge. At the same time, a trial unfolds: a therapy provider stands accused of a fatal error. As the narrative shifts between intimate sessions and the cold logic of the courtroom, their connection becomes disturbingly clear. “FREUD” is a psychological drama about trust, prediction, and control. What happens when a system stops treating symptoms and starts eliminating risk?

Echoes of Juno

Juno is dead. As advanced as medicine is in the year 2030, it couldn't save Hanna's daughter's life. Juno has not been around for two years now and yet Hanna spends every day with her. There is a cube in Juno's nursery, the "Echoehub". The device is controlled by an artificial intelligence that can be fed information about the deceased and calculates possible scenarios that the deceased could have experienced in the future. Again and again, Hanna lives through new scenarios in which she accompanies Juno through all the happy milestones that she can no longer experience. Hanna's wife Paula initially thought the AI in the children's room was a good way of grieving, but over the past few months she has increasingly reached her limit. She decides to put her wife into cold turkey, but what she didn't expect was the drastic measures Hanna is prepared to take in her search for happiness.

Planet Magnon

A solar system in which the end of history has already been surpassed: people allow themselves to be ruled by computer reason – ActualSanity – which keeps the community of planets in an harmonious ideal state. Political processes no longer seem to be necessary in this AI-driven, totalitarian and cosy government; instead, identity-forming collectives distinguish themselves from each other solely by subtle behavioural differences. Until a threat looms on the horizon: the Broken Hearts Collective disquiets the solar system with terrorist attacks – a development at the centre of which Marten Eliot and Emma Glendale, young head fellows of the Dolphin Collective, unexpectedly find themselves.

In solitude they lead a brutal existence, only as working machines. When one day, a discarded music box lands on the factory floor and is causing a rebellious dance, two workers are forced to run for their lives. Heading to the top of the building, they discover a world unknown and have to decide if they are ready to take a leap into the abyss.

The Man Who Perceives All

In his provocative new work of existential science fiction, Emre Busse invites his audience to question the meaning of “the gaze” as part of the post-human experience by replacing the eyes on the face with the orifice. This jarring visual and switch from the literal to the metaphorical leaves the protagonist to redefine his own human desires while reinventing his new self. In this new, surreal world of customizing sexual desires, one is left to question why they have been programmed to accept the bare minimum of their deepest desires in the first place!

Parsifal

Animated short film based on motifs from the opera PARSIFAL by Richard Wagner. The film deals with power and gender structures that use a religious context as a pretext. Wagner's work is critically examined and re-evaluated from a very personal perspective. This is done in an entertaining way that does not shy away from a popular and allusive form. The newly composed music by Nico Gaik takes up the most important leitmotifs of Wagner's opera and at the same time makes a tongue-in-cheek reference to the popular sound of big Holywood blockbusters.
