Scotland is a region full of secrets and beguiling beauty. Since filmmaker Rüdiger Sünner first traveled to Scotland in 1987, this country has cast a deep spell over him. Here he also encountered millennia-old traces of European spirituality that he had not known before: the sun temples of the megalithic period, "holy places" of a pagan nature religion, the belief in fairies, a nature-loving Celtic Christianity and landscapes in which one could experience "fulfilled solitude". Scotland became a kind ...

The Sea at Night - A Journey into the Psychology of C.G. Jung

2011 | 69 min | Biography

In many myths, the hero must undergo a sea voyage at night in which he encounters mysterious beings and dangerous situations. The psychologist Carl Gustav Jung went on such a voyage of discovery himself, questioning the world of symbols and archetypes for their meaning for our lives. Above all, he discovered the creative richness of our unconscious, the healing potential of archetypes and symbols, which - if handled correctly - can lead us to a more complete life. Sünner's film is a cinematic journey ...

German early Romanticism was not only an era of great poetry, but also developed a spiritual worldview that anticipated much of what today's people seek in esotericism, shamanism, Far Eastern religion: the connection of thinking and intuition, understanding and feeling, science and religion, as well as a view of nature as a living organism that cannot be understood only through rational dissection. In artistic independence, the early Romantics developed highly individual forms of spirituality that ...

The Boat God of the Lakeside Sports Club

2006 | 82 min | Independent

As part of a job creation scheme, the central character Enki (played by Steffen Scheumann) works as a handyman at Wendisch-Rietz lakeside sports club. The voice over, however, insists that we grasp the most everyday activities (such as painting bricks, rowing competitions, standing around on the jetty) as mythical events and Herr Enkert as Enkidu. Which, due to the vastly diverging conceptions, is funny – as funny as Bramkamp’s films – although not always visible at first glance – fundamentally are. ...

Daniel Spoerri makes artworks from found objects which lose their original function as soon as he integrates them into his work.

Spoerri, born Feinstein, is the son of a Romanian Jew who was deported and murdered. For the later founder of nouveau réalisme, Switzerland meant a new start.
