Film All-Nighter: About happiness: ceremonies and powerful animal spirit

A jumping dog.

Arguing with a waterfall, weather control, dialogue with one’s inner child, debates about the afterlife, self-healing strategies, life coaching, breath therapy, singing poodles, floating dogs, humans dancing for animals. Contradictions of life and social conditions are shot down and rearranged using humour. Performance as a healing practice. The silent films The Red Spectre and The Race for the Sausage are accompanied live on the violin by Gunda Gottschalk.

Guests: Julia Jaschnow, FRIEDERIKE / NEOZOON, Alissa Larkamp, Claudia Richarz, Stefanie Schroeder
