The Giant
1984 | 82 min | Drama
Michael Klier’s multi-award-winning film THE GIANT transforms the viewer into a voyeur and shows him life in a German town through the eye of surveillance cameras. To the evocative music of Mahler and Wagner, we see images of streets, airports, subway stations, department stores, banks and private houses through the ‘all-seeing’ video eye as it keeps its look-out for trouble. But it goes further than that: our constant observation must mean that our privacy is also being put at stake. A documentary ...

Monolith
2023 | 72 min | Drama
MONOLITH, the latest work by director Julius Schultheiß, begins in the relaxed atmosphere of a Berlin clique. The film starts with overlapping dialogs reminiscent of Robert Altman's authentic narrative style. At the center of the plot is Samir (Thomas Halle), a character who is deliberately kept featureless - and keeps himself as such. In contrast to Schultheiß' debut film LOTTE (also on Sooner), MONOLITH shows a rougher, unembellished depiction of urban life. Over a 24-hour period, Samir's life ...
