Werner Nekes - Das Leben zwischen den Bildern

Ulrike Pfeiffer

Werner Nekes, Bazon Brock

In conversations with his friends and colleagues, among them Bernd Upnmoor, Helmut Herbst, Alexander Kluge, Klaus Wyborny, Daniel Kothenschulte and Helge Schneider, Ulrike Pfeiffer takes us on a journey into the broad expanse of Nekes' cabinet of wonder and his cinematic works. At the same time, this documentary provides an insight into the history of experimental film in Germany.

Okiana

Ute Aurand, Ulrike Pfeiffer

An imaginary journey on a ship. We turned the building of the Film Academy into a ship. Claire and Solange from a Jean Genet piece, a polish woman with her Madonna, screaming sailors are a few of the passengers on this artifical journey.

Oh! die vier Jahreszeiten

Ute Aurand, Ulrike Pfeiffer

Aurand and Pfeiffer filmed each other at four famous sites in Europe: walking in a summer dress through the snow in front of the Reichstag in Berlin, spinning a young boy again and again through the air in Red Square in Moscow, climbing on a hot day into the waterfall at the Place de la Concorde in Paris, and, as two angels in London, walking through the night of the City. The film begins with a text about improvisation by Jonas Mekas read by himself.

Die fabelhafte Welt des Doktor Cadéot

Ulrike Pfeiffer

Jens Harzer, Jean Cadéot

In Gascony, a sparsely populated region in the southwest of France, lives Dr. Jean Cadéot, a ninety-year-old veterinarian who continues to work tirelessly and still enjoys doing so. Although his eyesight is getting worse and worse, he treats his animal patients with all his senses and all his love.

Umweg

Ute Aurand, Ulrike Pfeiffer

Experimental film about a train ride. The carriage window becomes a screen, the landscape a mood, the mood a landscape.
