DOK.shorts

In the organizer's words:

Three films nominated for the Student Award at this year's DOK.fest. All three use the formal freedom of the short format to experiment and explore new forms of filmmaking. Whether it's about their own fears, their view of European history or even the strange phenomenon of terraced houses - it's also a highly exciting (iconoclastic) mix thematically. J.S.

MEMENTO MURI
Bunkers - whether piles of rubble from a war that is gradually slipping into oblivion or a spruced-up museum of local history - the memorials to the German war era are still standing. A cautious and evocative approach to the edge of Europe. J.S.

I BREATHE ALL THE TIME
The director Rosa Gocht is afraid of a sudden illness, afraid of her mother's death - these are persistent, intangible fears. In intensive conversations with her family, she tries to get to the bottom of her mental illness and comes across a transgenerational trauma. An intense and courageous search. A.M.H.

AND THEY LIVE IN ROW HOUSES
The standard model of human coexistence is a monoculture. Nuclear family, two generations, one roof. This promises security and cozy retreats from a hectic, threatening world. The directing duo interviewed 'thought artist' Simon Nagy on the subject and embarks on a highly experimental site visit to the terraced houses. J.S.
