Homunculi
Filmed sporadically and intuitively during the summer months of 2020 and 2021, Homunculi is a recontextualization of a personal archive of hand processed 16mm “home movies” and various cinematographic experiments.

Upwards Tide

Folds of Stone
Rock is subject to constant change. Natural forces, geodynamics, and anthropogenic interventions shape the supposedly rigid matter as an extended organism, which can only be perceived in geological thinking of time. In their short film “Folds of Stone” Nicole Krenn and Lisa Truttmann continue these thoughts: We see breathing stones, pulsating furrows, trembling rocks, material that vibrates. Microscopic landscapes dissolve in the image. Surface, materiality and structure oscillate between jagged rock edges and soft, silky fabric folds. The two artists translate a multimedia installation from an old sawmill at national park Gesäuse into the cinema space, showing the process of…

The GraveSleepers
The GraveSleepers is an animated short film, exploring themes of transience, mortality and the human condition. Inspired by factual events that led a group of itinerants to inhabit rows of empty graves in a cemetery on the outskirts of Tehran, گور خواب ها / The GraveSleepers, is a literal title of what aims to offer a lyrical interpretation, questioning the fragile and fleeting nature of our existence against a backdrop of dust.
