Directed by Chiara D’Anna
In 1935 Egas Moniz, renowned Portuguese neurologist, visit psychiatrist Sobral Cid in order to persuade him allow his patients to be act as subjects for Moniz’s experiemntal treatment – frontal leucotomy. After some resistance Cid agrees. The first such operation is staged, but Moniz’s exhaltation is cut short by an attempt on his life. This self-contained chamber opera is actually scene 7 from a longer opera of the same name that tells three stories from the history of 20th century brain science (rather than a screenplay we worked with a libretto). it was filmed very quickly with little resources and involved professional and non-professional cast & crew.The music is by Stephen Brown.

KATER – Musicvideo for «Nonexister», 7min., Switzerland
Directed by Garrick Lauterbach
From the mate who bounces from one disaster to the next and always has THE big idea that is SURE to work, to people who are heavily religious or esoteric, to the office worker who votes for the far right and thus for the very people who work against him… it’s always amazing how many people seem to voluntarily get a bloody nose again and again with fervour and conviction – and usually on the same wall as last time.

COLORS OF THE AMAZON, 7min,. Belgium
Directed by Francisco Barboza
Some time after performing “Amazonas,” a composition for piano and orchestra, at the beautiful Teatro Amazonas in Manaus, I returned to visit the indigenous people of the Brazilian Amazon forest where I had the exceptional opportunity to make a recording of a traditional song. In “Colors Of The Amazon,” I use that song in its original and unfiltered form as a framework. The result is a composition that allowed me to explore a fascinating sound world where world music and orchestral tradition embrace each other ????????.

9/10: Love Before the Fall, 58min., USA
Directed by Daron Hagen
The myths of Orpheus and Charon are interwoven with the entirely sung magical-realist story of four friends dining in an Italian bistro who are fated to perish the next morning in the attack on the Twin Towers. At meal’s end, through magical realism, the restaurant’s mysterious strolling violinist is revealed to be Charon, hand extended, awaiting payment. Complying, each reconciles with death, and departs to the sounds of the next morning’s busy signals and the calls of first responders.
