The filmmakers leave the classic nature film behind in order to explore new ways of conceptualising our understanding of nature and ourselves. A hitherto familiar environment develops strange characteristics and meanders between stagnation and movement, realism and hypnosis, naturalness and artificiality.
Studied cinematography in Berlin and completed postgraduate studies in media art at the Academy of Media Arts Cologne;
participant in the Professional Media Masterclass/Werkleitz. Awarded, among others, the German Short Film Award and the Golden Bear at Berlinale Shorts. Based in Leipzig.
