Octavia's Visions

Inspired by the Parables of the African-American futurist author Octavia E. Butler, the film interweaves her worlds with contemporary issues of environmental degradation, far right extremism, and social liberation. The poetic piece expresses a queer utopian imaginary, a longing to create out of the old something new.

Not Yet Over

One momentous night in Berlin, three women working in a coat room struggle for reproductive choices better than just the neoliberal freedom to have them. Nichts ist erledigt/Not Yet Over, a multi-genre fiction film, incites us to look at feminism’s™ unfinished business from the bottom up.
