After some time offline, this website is here again. Annoyingly, it was hacked to mine Bitcoins - by people who I assume are only half nice. So I had to take the site offline to do some troubleshooting and reinstall the server completely... 😕 ...but better safe than sorry.

Now the bugs are fixed and the website is finally back online - only with encrypted connection. And even a bit faster than before. 🙂

 
"14. achtung berlin – new berlin film award"-Logo

Rotation, my graduation documentary at Filmarche film school, will have its world premiere at the 14. achtung berlin – new berlin film award on April 17th, 2018 at 7pm in the Berlin cinema Filmtheater am Friedrichshain. A second screening will be shown the next day, on April 18th at 6pm at the splendid Tilsiter Lichtspiele, Berlin’s oldest film house.

Rotation is a 71 minute documentary about the rotation of rooms among inhabitants of the former squat and current housing Project K9 in Berlin’s district of Friedrichshain. It follows the inhabitants in their process of collectively shifting from one living quarter to another within the house. Rotation is screened in the section Berlin Documents, which showcases productions which "are silhouetted clearly against the mainstream and stand out formally through bearing their own signature, take a very personal perspective or deal with a particular controversial topic."

I am very happy and thank every one who helped making this happen! Yay!!

 

 
Rising Star Award certificate for "We Weren't Given Anything for Free"

We Weren't Given Anything for Free is one of the Rising Star Award Winners in the Student Film Competition category at the Canada International Film Festival Vancouver 2014. Thank you very very much! I am very honored and very happy about this! 

However, it won't be screened: these Awards are meant to decorate movies which did not make it amongst the small numberof 21 movies of which the official selection consists. The festival wrote to me "Although your film was not chosen to be screened publicly, our judges felt that your film was among the very best of the several hundreds of films submitted from over 30 countries around the world and deserving of special recognition." So I am very happy about this kind of honoration, even if being screened and being awarded is vice versa this time...

We Weren't Given Anything for Free is going to be another time in Mexico. On Tuesday, April 1st at 9pm at the Imperfectu International Film and Gender Studies Festival in Tijuana. This years end there will be a Berlin screening of the festival movies as well. As soon as I got the dates, I will publish them on the movies Facebook page.

On May 20th the movie is going to have its Argentine premiere in Buenos Aires at the festival Libercine - Internacional de Cine sobre Diversidad Sexual y Género, on 2:00 pm at theArtecinema in Buenos Aires. I am very happy about this and I think the Spanish excellent translation from Sarah Mazzenzana and Irene Izquierdo has paid off very fast!
