In a series of 11 photo films young authors from the Institute of Language Arts at the University Applied Art, Vienna, media artists from Experimental Radio at the Bauhaus in Weimar and media designers from the Faculty of Design at the Hochschule Mannheim deal with themes in which they have been influenced by different people: well off girl from Aleppo, the son of poor Somali peasants… In the youth hostel somebody hears Rosa Luxemburg's voice and a woman talks about the salads on offer in collective accommodation. Things wait. People wait. Conditions, park benches. The camera captures a movement and the movement is held by it. The authors sometimes do not understand everything and what is said remains fragmentary. What does someone mean when he says "Damascus" and "not good not good"? Perhaps none of these fragments will come together. Maybe these different voices will simply overlay each other and each of us will hear a different thing. In cooperation with MORE students and guest artists. Duration: 52:06 min.

NOBODY CARES ABOUT THE WIND IN SWEDEN
The way we wait seems to be laid down. You improve yourself and scratch your head. Everything waits. A coffee cup wai­­ts. And the coat stand too. But has anyone found a way to stop the waiting? Can we get around waiting? Is it possible to leave the waiting room? You simply have to follow instructions and wait your turn. You simply have to be enlightened. After that you will be able to live properly. (5:15)


Sophie Steinbeck
DIVESTORS
When signs become threatening. A discourse about the foreign. Overwhelmed by images. Globalisation as experimental text. Nietzsche as Cheburashka (Soviet era iconic children’s toy). In simple language. (6:59)
