LONGs LADEN
Jan, 30, son of a priest, is running a vietnamese grocery store as a stand-in, but he is having problems to assert himself against the regular customers.

EVERY SUMMER, IN JULY
- English subtitles available by clicking on 'CC' -
JEDEN SOMMER IM JULI/EVERY SUMMER, IN JULY is a diary-like stream of consciousness about working behind the scenes of the Tour de France, entirely shot on Super8 film. In the past I used to work for the german TV network ZDF at the Tour de France and I collected some of my impressions with an old camera. More recently I started to edit a real short documentary out of that, exploring with all senses what it feels like to be part of this well-oiled machinery.
Short documentary, 16 min, Super8, stereo. A production of
DAS GUTE WERK Bewegtbild.

TOUT LE MONDE ATTEND LE MAILLOT JAUNE
(Everyone is waiting for the yellow jersey) is a documentary project about the spectators of the Tour de France in the countryside. The Tour de France has always been a celebration of the magnificience of its very beautiful rural areas. Against the background of the increasing urban-rural divide the look into a world, that metropolitans have difficulties to imagine and find very desirable at the same time, is exciting in many respects.

FÜR EINEN MOMENT (ONE MOMENT IN TIME)
ONE MOMENT IN TIME is the observation of a high dive. We see a professional diver in montage parallel with children at the age of six to ten years, who are about to learn high-diving. Situations of intense concentration change to moments of great cheeriness. But also fear plays a role. Soundwise a former high-diver remembers his feelings.
