Impregnate

Jan receives the group patch at the campfire, Herkules brews up some tea in the workshop and Sidney gets a mohawk haircut done by his father. The film shows fragments from an Oberhausen subculture in which symbols and practices of the outlaw motorbiker scene are transferred to cycling.

Mixing visual, sound, and storytelling elements from different eras and regions, "Shadowplay" depicts a world filled with dysfunctional work culture through an unorthodox conflict between an office worker and her shadow, and seeks a hidden connection between the dominance of corporatism and the illusion of self-importance.

This movie marks the understanding of cinema as an extra-human effort and finds cinema beyond the human, somewhere on the territory of its non-existence.

A boy waits in the same street every day with his bags packed. What is he waiting for?

Reenacting the suicide episode of the last Ming emperor, Chong-zhen from the classic Cantonese Opera Floral Princess, this experimental short film blending Cantonese Opera and modern dance elements reveals the journey of the defeated emperor accompanied by his faithful eunuch, Wang Sing-yan, on their way to the summit of Coal Hill to end their lives. Apart from inviting new perspectives towards their ambiguous queer overtones, it also explores the crossroads of life and death, authority and obedience, love and sacrifice, power and duty, that befall under the traditional patriarchy.

Shadow plays flicker, birds call, and colour leaks into grey walls. In Starlings, live action collides with puppetry and poetic visuals as a teen girl transforms loss into light, reviving the fractured bond with her father through the fragile power of art.

This experimental film is a metaphysical journey through memories. It is a melancholic reflection on childhood and the fragility of personal sacred places. The concept: the main character is an object, not a subject, which the audience spends 24 hours with, exploring the possibility of a script without conventional elements.

Theo (Théo Deliyannis) made three consecutive trips to the island of Syros in Greece, where part of his family had lived. He knew the island well, but everything was changing there, and so he decided to record, in the form of fragments, the small impressions of his daily life, of what he did, saw, smelt and touched there. From the weather to the cats waiting outside his door, from the crumbling rock to the food that goes down the drain, everything is carefully transcribed. Little by little, Théo sinks into the island...

This is a film about a list. The sacred method developed by mankind to organize it's thoughts. God gave us one to follow and we created many more after him. Infinite are the journeys to find the truth. This is one of them.

It is a documentary about mostly inner-city birds. It is meant to examine their lives in a more metropolitan context as they become increasingly tangled in our everyday lives.

A sensitive study on human relationships and the passage of time. Through the lens of directing and editing, the film observes the nuances of daily life and the resilience of connections.

The film highlights the beauty of craft, whilst re-contextualising traditional folk narratives to show the strength and power of the often forgotten members of folk communities.

For the multimedia exhibition Tangenten I (Tangents I), Dammbeck and co-organizer, sculptor and painter Frieder Heinze had planned to collaborate on a film that would combine non-camera animation with 35mm footage of a train ride between the two Dresden districts of Radebeul and Pieschen. When the exhibition was banned in 1978, Heinze turned to other projects, but Dammbeck continued working on the film by himself. Metamorphoses I—the first experimental film ever to be shown publicly in East Germany—marks the filmic beginning of Dammbeck’s long-term art project the Herakles-Konzept (Hercules Concept).
