The Film All-Nighter

The Film All-Nighter

About happiness: ceremonies and powerful animal spirit
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.
