A film about non-territorial office space, multi-mobile knowledge workers, Blackberries and Miles&More. A road movie discovering the working world of tomorrow. This documentary will take you on a journey through the post-industrial knowledge and services workshops, our supposed future working place. In this new world work will be handled more liberally. Time clocks cease to exist. Attention is not compulsory any more. The resource “human“ comes into focus. The film closely follows the high-tech work force – people who are highly mobile and passionate to make their work their purpose in life. Further episodes resume this topic and lead into the world of modern office architecture and into the world of Human Resource Management.

For the first time since the legendary Apollo missions over 50 years ago, humans are once again setting out for the Moon on April 1, 2026.

This documentary follows the four astronauts during their preparations and offers exclusive insights into the Orion spacecraft. German astronauts Alexander Gerst and Matthias Maurer, along with other space experts, explain how the mission will proceed and why it is being undertaken. It's a journey that blends science, adventure, and the fundamental question: Why do people risk their lives to reach other celestial bodies and distant worlds?

Crash Site / My_Never_Ending_Burial_Plot is the sixth episode in the serial-based project X Characters, which revolves around the attempt to update the identities of iconic female film characters from modern cinema to produce contemporary versions of them. The project is based on two coordinates. It is based on the character of Hari in Andrej Tarkovsky's film Solaris, who is now the central figure (after Nana from Jean-Luc Godard's Vivre sa Vie in X NaNa / Subroutine, and Giuliana from Il Deserto Rosso in X Love Scenes); at the same time Crash Site / My_Never_Ending_Burial_Plot represents an attempt to close the cycle of X Characters by putting a symbolic end to the lives (more accurately, the afterlife) of the film characters concerned. Whether or not this attempt is successful remains, for the time being, an open question.

Lana is 14 years old and has been caring for her seriously ill father for many years. Her mother has two jobs to keep the family financially afloat and is therefore rarely at home. Even when Lana was 8 years old, she was responsible for getting medical help in an emergency. Lana's situation is similar to that of most children and young people who provide care at a young age: the burden she carries remains invisible to others. However, her concern for her father is having a huge impact on Lana's performance at school. It is uncertain whether she will be able to graduate from high school.
