Manifesto for a Free Fall |
|
 |
André Schreuders
Germany
2009 /0:12:00
Ironic visual essay about our struggle with the two-headed monster boredom and mortal fear. Lots of people try to escape this by seeking exiting activities like bungee jumping. In the lonely mountains the alter ego of the film maker preaches to a single mountain goat about falling as the only real escape.

An elderly single woman who realises she is terminally ill, packs some clothes in a suitcase, puts her fish in a plastic bag and leaves on foot. During her lonely journey she has some brief but intense encounters. She ends her Way of Sorrows in a monastery where she lies down and refuses all food and drink.

Germany
2016 / 0:18:00
In the Georgian mountains an international brotherhood of artists and villagers build their conceptual constructions. No utopia but a gathering of searching souls. Duet of 3 idiots is an ode to the imperfect: the beauty of clumsiness, indecisiveness, ignorance and miscommunication.

The Whirlers |
|
 |
Joke Olthaar & André Schreuders
Germany
2013 / 0:08:00
A choreography of tender observations of a weekly dance matinee. In the 'Spiegeltent' in the Flemish Kempen the aged guests are whirling endlessly as if they eternally stay at the fair of 1956. Although the transience is tangible, the Spiegeltent seems to be a place beyond time and free of what Heidegger calls 'Sorge'.
