The short film recounts an episode from the life of the British art historian John Ruskin. His work on the copy of Carpaccio's painting "Sogno di Orsola" awakened memories of a long-faded love, which he described to his cousin Joan Severn in letters.

The longing for (false) comfort in the face of these demands is already addressed in the title of *The Ultimate Question to All Answers* (2019) to then—as a parable with no educational value, narrated by the onboard computer voice of a Flixbus to combat boredom during the ride—deliberately let it peter out into absurdity amidst the offshoots of escapism in modernity (conspiracy theories, esotericism, fixed book prices). The ironic lesson of Gülzow’s work: It is precisely in failure that resistance succeeds today.

In the world of industrial chemistry, the way business is done has long encouraged more consumption rather than less. Chemical Leasing explores a smarter alternative: a service-based model where chemical suppliers are paid for the results they deliver — not for the volume of chemicals sold. Instead of selling barrels of product, suppliers take responsibility for the entire process — from application and optimisation to recycling and safe disposal. The film follows this shift through real pilot projects in Egypt, Mexico, and Russia, where companies in powder coating, nickel plating, and wastewater treatment achieved measurable reductions in chemical use while improving efficiency and cutting costs. Produced by UNIDO in 2006, the documentary combines practical case studies and animations to illustrate how aligning economic incentives with environmental responsibility can create better outcomes for industry and the planet.

Nothing's happened again in Vienna. This 'nothing' is morbid, beautiful and pretty bizarre. Franziska Pflaum captures special moments of slowness in her film. Everyday observations line up in a dreamy and surrealistic atmosphere. The images of Vienna do not tell a story but describe a state. "Should the world meets its demise, I will move to Vienna, because everything there happens fifty years later" (quote by Gustav Mahler).
