A cloud of black dust, one of white dust, and the world.

Figures in a side-scrolling landscape.

A female figure wanders inside a warehouse interior and through various motifs, including a fan and a birdcage, set to a medieval chant.

A pseudo-scientific analysis of a cartographical enigma which arose when the frontier between East and West Germany was erased. "The Border" delivers an intelligent study of an age-old German problem of borders and walls long since gone which nevertheless remain in the head.

An expedition report (a winter sailing trip down the Elbe), and a document about filmmakers who leave a city because it's more hospitable elsewhere, reflections, reflexes.

A journey through the history of German animated film from 1920 to 1960, spanning the avant-garde beginnings, the emigrants, the time in the Third Reich and cinema in both German states after 1945.
