THEATER WITHOUT AUDIENCE
"Learning from Brecht how to think of oneself in the third person singular, I realized that displacement is not a curse but part of condition humaine."
– ATW
The founder of the Gießen School, Andrzej Tadeusz Wirth (1927-2019) coined the term "post-dramatic theatre" in post-war Europe for a theatre form that has no definition. ATW brought with the Institute for Applied Theatre Studies in Giessen the theatre stage outside, so the pacifist mission of the theatre reaches everyone. The essay film "Theatre Without Audience" by Paweł Kocambasi emphasizes and reinforces the importance of democratic values today – you are part of the meaning which is now created

ENDANGERED GESTURES
von Bruce Eesly
Endangered Gestures is a short film proposing hand gestures for concepts currently under threat by authoritarian shifts around the world. The increasingly strange and other-than-human gestures may leave the viewer wondering what strategies and contortions will be required of us to protect and remember these achievements in the algorithmic age. The work is a reflection on censorship and technological bias, as well as a small reminder of things worth fostering and celebrating.
DISCLOSURE DAY
von Steven Spielberg
If you found out we weren’t alone, if someone showed you, proved it to you, would that frighten you?
THE LOVE THAT REMAINS
von Hlynur Pálmason
Tenderly captures a year in the life of a family as the parents navigate their separation. Through both playful and heartfelt moments, the film portrays the bittersweet essence of faded love and shared memories amidst the changing seasons.

VERSCHLEIß
von Carl Adam, Noa Vetter
„Verschleiß“ ist eine filmische Arbeit mit einer Länge von ca. 15–20 Minuten, die sich mit Szenen des urbanen Alltags in Neukölln auseinandersetzt. In fragmentierten Bild- und Tonsequenzen verdichten sich Arbeitsabläufe, wiederkehrende Bewegungen und zufällige Begegnungen zu einer filmischen Annäherung an das Spannungsfeld von out / side / in. Die Arbeit untersucht Wiederholung und Bruch sowie das Wechselspiel von Innen- und Außenräumen im städtischen Kontext.
ROSE
von Markus Schleinzer
In the turmoil of the Thirty-Years' War, a mysterious soldier appears in a secluded Protestant village claiming to be heir to a long-abandoned manor. His quest for recognition and acceptance are complicated by his secret: under a false identity, false name, and pretense of a false gender, he has made his way to the village. But to achieve her goals, Rose, as the soldier is actually called, will stop at nothing.
