“To date, I have always started with a character whose inner life I investigated for some time. I am then able to extract a narrative from his or her desires, longings and fears. While still searching, I am tuned into the world around me, enjoy observing people, let myself be led by what I meet in the way of stories, people – and films, of course.”

    VISAR MORINA Germany, 2020

    Visar Morina’s multi-award-winning psychodrama craftily disorients the viewer’s eye to create a sense of paranoia and unrest. Adding excellent touches of dark humour, Morina constructs an uncompromising investigation of the immigrant experience and xenophobia within the urban middle class.

    ULRICH KÖHLER Germany, 2011

    Perhaps inspired by his early years in the Democratic Republic of Congo, the Berlin School’s Ulrich Köhler drew acclaim for this ambitious, characteristically insightful exploration of the construction of masculinity inside & outside of the family unit. Winner of the Silver Bear for Best Director.
