Anna is pregnant and thinks about castrations. Katinka may not be able to become a farmer and wears her bikini in the milking parlor, but grandma's tomatoes have turned out better this year than ever before. A summer on dying German farms.

Catsbark short film

The story of an Iranian family scattered across years and borders, where home becomes a fragmented memory. The essay film shows how displacement also shapes time and encounters remain possible only in images.

A surreal take on two people longing to bond through movement. The setting is a bygone velodrome, the Albert Richter track in Cologne. Without words, VELODROME evokes a poetic and eerie liminal space. It portrays a pursuit of communication, a permanent interruption. A moment of encounter without meeting.

This film is a tribute to all generations of women and people in Iran and Afghanistan who, because they dance or sing, are locked up in prisons.
