Today in Iowa, a place known for its uniform landscape and monocultures of corn, fireflies are increasingly rare to find: points of light that blink off just as quickly as they light up in the dark. In POINTS OF LIGHT, filmmaker Annika Juliane Schilling sets out to search for these magical-seeming insects and the reasons for their disappearance. She takes a look at farm work and front lawns, as patterns of ...

Berlin Rhapsody
2025 | 80 min | Documentary
BERLIN RHAPSODY looks at Berlin as a city of constant motion, where tradition and innovation, history and the present, noise and calm coexist in uneasy balance.

The camera moves through rush-hour subway carriages, follows bicycle couriers through dense traffic and lingers in parks where people step away from ...
