“Men in Cars – Driving”
Richard Andreas Finger (Director & Screenplay), Elisabeth Caic (Cinematography)
Feature film, 2025, 9 min.
In the middle of the night, a red light forces two old friends to talk about what they’ve been avoiding all evening.

“Tannenstraße 10”
Sarah Kramer (Director & Screenplay)
Essay, 2026, 30 min.
The filmmaker returns to the street where she grew up and reflects on the friendships that were formed there—and those that were lost. In the 1990s, Tannenstraße 10—directly across from her parents’ house—was home to a refugee shelter. Sarah Kramer combines old video footage, some of which she shot herself, with new encounters and conversations with the people from back then.

“Demontage”
Leonard Mann (Director & Screenplay)
Documentary, 2026, 30 min.
On the outskirts of Lüdenscheid, Sandra runs her father’s auto salvage business. It is a place where not only discarded car parts find new owners, but people also find work, structure, and stability. Her employees—Holger, Markus, and Kevin, who would have little chance in the regular job market—form a small utopia together with Sandra. But an escalating wave of external pressures threatens to destroy this fragile structure.

“We Need to Talk”
Fabian Maria Schumbrutzki (Director & Screenplay), Christopher Todd (Cinematography), and Jasmina Sonja Bartl (Production)
Feature Film, 2025, 12 min.
DJ Fischer’s cosmos on an afternoon in Cologne: He plays a tourist on the Domplatte, talks about the Führer’s bunker, and meets his sister for dinner. He talks—sometimes at length, sometimes with someone. Fischer’s delusion mirrors collective memory. 2025: Germany in its twenties.
