Western

DEADLOCK hints at what German film could have become without all the state subsidized funding of navel-gazing and art for art's sake.

QUITT = art, comic, trash, from the Alps and the Wild West, with plastic mannequins as actors, real landscapes and in-between songs.

A delightfully absurd Berlin comedy about bicycle messengers, new age esoterica, and saving the world.

THE JACKPOT: 4.12 Billion Euro. Five hungry mouths. Nobody wants to share. A short film by Malte Wirtz (5 Stories in 4 Days).

In their co-directorial debut, Mario Mentrup and Volker Sattel explore new levels of the American pioneer myths in this experimental Western.
