Kunstpilgerreise 3 (KPR-3) will see Marinka Limat journeying on foot from Kassel to Athens in 2017. Her journey: 2500 km through 9 countries for more than 5 months. Her performance will establish a physical connection between the twin locations of “Documenta14”. Her focus will be the question of the art that arises between these two centres.

I’m in charge of the realization of the documentary film produced by DOK MOBILE from Fribourg.

More about her amazing project HERE

Les Heures-Encre will be part of two great festivals next January:

Come and see it at the:

If you want to see Mirages (again), click HERE.

And Destiny is waiting HERE for you!

Statement

Great news, Mirages won the award for the best short film at the Innsbruck Nature Film Festival!

This is what the judges said about the film:

The poetic style of MIRAGES narrates the dread of a world without water. Highly demanding camera work stages a hostile desert world, a fata morgana of convincing aesthetic power. 

“Destiny“, will be shown on SRF1 the 23th of April, at 00.10. You can check the program HERE.

If you want a subtitled version, you can send me a message and I will send you back a private link.

Enjoy!

Hanna (24) is struggling with the problems her three children have at school, with her husband Silvan’s (26) game addiction and the lack of space in their tiny apartment. As the authorities threaten to take their oldest son away, Hanna needs to find a way to get Silvan out of his fictional game world.
