Directing
The short film "Protest ohne Ă„sthetik und Form" tells the story of the fictitious protest movement in Warsaw in the late 90s. The protagonist Pawel sketches the nearly hopeless attempts of an anticapitalist protest that tries to be neither nostalgic nor in danger of being incorporated. The film is a thought experiment about transformation as a permanent condition and weak gestures of resistance.
Tito is a film adaptation of William Shakespeare’s play. Embedded in contemporary Mexico, it discusses the logic of revenge - an omnipresent topic since the beginning of the drug war in 2006. The protagonists of the film are not characters of the play, but tell the story as witnesses, bystanders and neighbours. They do not take part in the events of the play, but are affected by its consequences. In their reflections and commentaries on the play, the fictitious story blurs with their experiences and the present situation in Camino Verde, one of the poorest and most violent districts of Tijuana.
