Detroiters

Detroit. USA. What is left when the mythical capital of the automobile is dying? A field of ruins, old memories of struggle, snow and Motown. And a fire that still smolders, fragile, because some people have not left and are trying to understand as well as to rebuild.

La montagne magique

A camera takes us deep underground where Bolivian miners toil in primitive conditions. A time-machine film that takes us through the pitch black to a primeval altar and simultaneously confronts us with the tourist industry’s voyeurism.

L'exil et le royaume

At the foothills of the empire, people fish, cruise and pass time. Cigarette after cigarette, the world’s problems get sorted, smoking embers are stirred into flame. Across the way, the weather is beautiful and a lost paradise can be seen. Is it a mirage? People wend their way through the streets, calling out so as not to be alone when they’re afraid.
