The Vast Landscape
A fox hunter, a saleslady at a porcelain shop, scientist brothers and a boy with a music box. Four stories on contemplation, research, love and (self)destruction. Five characters in their rooms filled with traces of longing, separated by a vast and bleak landscape.

The Isle of Seals
In the middle of a grey sea there is a grey isle. On this grey island grey hunters live. The life is simple and harsh. Seals and hunters live together in a cruel balance. One day, the Photographer arrives to document this everyday life. For him it turns out to be deadly complicated.

A Blue Room
A man wakes up in a blue room. He's stuck inside. He can't escape. A window is the only way to connect to the outside world. It filters the reality in a mysterious way.

Patch
An experimental animated short film using an abstract painting to explore the tension field between abstraction and recognisability.

The day of the Bleeding Gums
You only have to calmly wait for your wave, and let it take you there, where even death is just a cause for contemplation.
The painting has a value only in the moment of its creation; the rest is just a postcard from a far away voyage.

Fongopolis
A young violinist is about to play his big solo with the Philharmonic of Fongopolis city. The path to success, however, is unexpectedly stopped on a train station. In the chaos of signs, advertisements, lights and crowds in a rush, he cannot find the way to the right platform. To catch his train he has to stop.

Levitation
What is this force that defies gravity, a force so powerful that drives plants to grow and imbues us with the strength to sail against the current? If we let go to its upward motion, it carries us to a wonderful ease. Raise your sail and catch the leeway…

Pluto 3000
An unsuccessful attempt to create the best Pluto of all time.

Worst-Case Scenario
Two managers, Adolf and Rudolf, solve the problem that threatens to ruin the company.
