DAS SPIEL written & directed by Roman Hodel
A whistle. It gets loud in the spectator stands. The players protest angrily. The commentators follow the action on the field. In the middle of it, the referee. The whole stadium watches him. Now he has to decide. With the referee Fedayi San we experience the highs and lows of a football game, what it means to earn respect on the field and to direct the energy of an entire stadium.

THE GIRL AND THE SPIDER DAS MÄDCHEN UND DIE SPINNE written & directed by Ramon & Silvan Zürcher Lisa is moving out. Mara is left behind. As boxes are shifted, walls painted and cupboards built, abysses begin to open up, yearnings fill the room and an emotional rollercoaster is set in motion. A tragicomic catastrophe film. A poetic ballad about change and transience. FIPRESCI Prize and Encounters Best Director Award at Berlinale 2021
