Alsterstadt im Frühlingswind

A young woman searches for traces of herself through a prehistoric monument engulfed by the urban landscape. Driven by a persistent feeling of déjà vu, she returns to the place where she grew up, repeating gestures of observation, collecting and photographic development in an attempt to recover a memory that may never have existed. Between ritual, the analogue darkroom and fragments of the landscape, she builds an intimate archive where memory, imagination and reality become intertwined.

The ascent of the Aiguille Verte in the Mont Blanc Massif by the ridge of the Moine. Two climbers, the mountain, and the rope. No plot, no tragedy, but the lives of the two protagonists during the hours they are struggling. A film produced by the Comité de l'Expédition Française à l'Himalaya and made by Samivel and Marcel Ichac to test the film material destined to a future expedition in the Himalayas (the 1936 French expedition to Hidden Peak in the Karakorum). It is also an opportunity to show the beauty of the mountain at different moments of the day, the ascent of climbers roped, and the techniques and dangers of mountain climbing.

The juvenile artist take the viewer on a tour of their vacation home in Orlando. In contrast to their earlier childhood home documentary, the artist seems to be a lot more malicious this time around.
