Shit happened

Who is actually managing the internet? What's it like? A short film in search of answers in uncharted territory. A film about the chaotic everyday office life of "The Administration of the Internet". The employees are responsible for order and organization in the network. They still work with outdated technology, only communicate with the outside world via a pneumatic tube and are obviously completely overwhelmed with their work.
Die Verwaltung des Internets

Every sentence about grandma is like a loss. She didn't talk much - certainly not about what moved her. It is only after her death that I use this film to search for how war and violence affect relationships and create silence. In everyday life, in the household and in the family. Digging out, looking for continuities, creating continuities lies this film’s soul. A tender portrait that takes us back to a time, which still resonates with us today.
I Feel Your Silence

A vigilante masked as Batman roams the streets of his city at night to liberate humanity from a new type of plague. A molotov cocktail mixed with vandalism, cosplay and E-scooters. A scourge known in many Swedish cities. The Real Dark Knight plays as a mockumentary but so absurdly realistic so it feels like a documentary. It is a contemporary look at solitary struggles and heartfelt vigilantism.
The Real Dark Knight

You only die once. A film about the life of a corpse.
