SLEEPING WITH A TIGER is a hybrid film about the Austrian painter Maria Lassnig. A film about her struggle in the male dominated art world and the quest to find her own personal artistic way of expression in which she brings her inner pain on canvas. And of course a film about her great artistic success.

This Movie is a biopic within its own form. Maria Lassnig is always played by the same actress, Birgit Minichmayr, no matter if she is 6, 14, 64 or 94 years old in the portrayed scene. There is no make up to change the appearance of the actress. She glides through the decades as an eternally identical figure. This is an artistic translation of her mental state. It is said about Maria Lassnig that she was ageless. Wise as a young girl and young at heart as an old women. So the theme changes from a biopic to a poetic approach as a whole to process that our soul, regardless of age, always remains the same.

READ MY BREASTS is a documentary film about the Ukrainian activist Inna Shevshenko, the prominent founder of the feminist group FEMEN. Her political actions changed our world, but her struggle in the nudity reaped contradictions. Even torture. So the film is also one about disappointment and trauma. Inna has learned too much about our harsh world. But Inna does not give up: A film about modern feminism.

READ MY BREASTS is a film built in visual layers, in which Inna is put back into old press shots. We work with large print photographs of actions of FEMEN, where we retouched Inna out. She appears in the same place in the film, but she is real and can move in front of the photograph. She is standing in her own past, so to speak. This creates a strange alienation effect.

The film is an embodiment of the visual political art of FEMEN and shows new pop - feminism.

MY PLACE OR YOURS

:
:
:
Their bodies are old and frail, but the residents of the old people's home have a young spirit dreaming of love – and sex. The elderly lend their voices to young dating platform users; the stories and experiences are real. Told in daily situations, these words have even more power and tell the deep truth that you are never too old to be human with all your senses.

The results are absurd, funny and also melancholy stories of ancient people musing about modern young Tinder dates. They talk about fast sex or slow world-weariness. Yet we see them in their everyday activities, we watch them eating, sleeping or doing gymnastics, while they fall in love for real, escape from the residence or cheat on their wives. Whatever you do in a retirement home.
