In anderen Umstaenden (In different circumstances) is a web documentary. 12 people with learning difficulties talk about their experiences with wanting children and parenthood. And they demand from society: We want different circumstances!
Each protagonist is presented on the accessible website in several films: There is one message, one film with everyday scenes and one longer conversation per person. All the films will be published until the International Day for People with Disabilities on 3 December. We are editing a part of the films.

The GEGENkino Festival is an annual international film festival in Leipzig since 2014. Working collectively and driven by cinephile passion, it aims to challenge entrenched viewing habits with unusual perceptions. The presentation of film and video art goes beyond a classical screening.
In 2022, the festival screened the Japanese silent film classic A page of madness, narrated live and set to music by benshi Ichiro Kataoka and pianist Reiko Emura. In the preceding panel discussion, the profession as a benshi was discussed, but also the Kataoka Record Project. Kataoka had given his collection of 3900 Japanese shellac records to the University of Bonn in 2012. The worldwide unique collection includes records from the years 1915 to 1950, mainly from the film and entertainment culture of Japan of those years.
We filmed the panel discussion as well as impressions from the live scoring and created a documentary of the evening.

Almost 20 years after Stefan Heym's death, his wife Inge Heym bequeathed the writer's working library, which had been compiled over decades, to his native city of Chemnitz. The filmmaker Beate Kunath, who is also originally from Chemnitz, accompanied Inge Heym's preparations for the transfer of the library of around 2500 books with her camera. Supplemented by archive footage with Stefan Heym, the result is a sensitive double portrait that offers surprising new insights into Heym's life and literary work.
We researched some of the archive footage for the film and clarified their royalty rights.
