There’s No Place Like Home

The story is not told in a strait line, it goes around the subject. There exist a dislocation of sound, text and video. Exist on a potential in the negotiation of different realities, develops a potential towards the sense of difference in being.
«‘There’s no place like Home!’ With three clicks of the heels of her magic red slippers, Dorothy utters the immortal words of a spell that would transport her back to Kansas after her phantasmagoric displacement to Oz in the Hollywood classic The Wizard of Oz. This celebrated sequence expresses the universal longing for home of the displaced person. But for millions of refugees and migrants around the globe, Dorothy’s fantastical gesture, rendered in glorious technicolour film, remains just a dream or more often than not, a recurring nightmare.» (Paul Goodwin)

The Strange Case of Wilhelm Reich


«This Austrian film is based on the last years of Wilhelm Reich’s life in the US. Wilhelm Reich – psychiatrist and experimental scientist – finds himself on trial, charged with deception. His dream of liberating human individuality makes him a dangerous opponent of an American system that is striving after 1945 for global hegemony. Was it madness to believe in man’s liberty or was Reich simply in the wrong place at the wrong time? Ten years after his mysterious death, his writings, once burnt by the US FDA, become an important source of inspiration for a ‘68 generation in revolt.»
