1999 · ★ 5.8 (5)

Images of Egypt: prolonged tracking shots through the streets of Cairo, cafes, bazars, hotels and gardens, footage of the desert and the sea. Ruth Beckermann is on the trail of Empress Elisabeth of Austria ("Sissi"), who travelled the world restlessly and was in Egypt incognito one hundred years earlier. Since Elisabeth refused to be photographed after the age of 31, she inspires projections and fantasies.

Poster for Borrá todo lo que dije del amor porque no sabía bien quién era

2016 · ★ 5.0 (1)

The ears of the standing horses are cut off above the closed dawn. A girl roller skates on the parquet floor of an empty apartment. In the rain-coloured garden, a white rose bush with dew. A film of process, of observations and notes on the inner landscape and the beauty of lost moments.

While my father created a picture archive of my childhood, my grandmother destroyed the family photo albums just before her death. Stuck between these extremes, I venture out to question old pictures, produce new ones and find a perspective. My journey takes me to East Berlin, Poland and through Hamburg. This documentary deals with the shape of memory, the ease of forgetting and last not least, making films.

Poster for Quiet Title

2015 · ★ 0.0 (1)

When we lived in the house it was surrounded by forest, with a long unpaved driveway leading through the woods to the school bus stop. Growing up, my sisters and I heard voices, saw lights and dreamed of other beings. My mother and I shared a recurring dream of strangers on the driveway, where stonewalls marked the old main road through town. Our dreams and our memories converged into one experience, the experience of living in a haunted house. After the sale of the property in 2001, my recurring dreams returned and the question emerged - were we the ones now haunting the house? When I ask my father about the past, he answers with the Theory of Relativity, the Laws of Thermodynamics, and the speed of light. He dreams of being on a distant star, with a telescope powerful enough to show him how things used to be. Just as we perceive the moon, as it was 1.2 seconds ago and the sun, as it existed 8 minutes ago, great distances allow us an opportunity to look back in time.
