Für das Puppentheater Magdeburg produzierten wir den offiziellen Trailer zur Inszenierung Die Weihnachtsgans Auguste.

Die zeitlose Geschichte des Dramatikers Friedrich Wolf erzählt von der Gans Auguste, die eigentlich als Weihnachtsbraten vorgesehen ist – doch als Sohn Peterle sie ins Herz schließt, gerät die familiäre Ordnung ins Wanken. Zwischen Humor, Konflikt und Empathie entfaltet sich eine Erzählung über Mitgefühl, Tradition und die Frage, welchen Platz Tiere in unserem Leben einnehmen.

Unser Trailer übersetzt die besondere Atmosphäre der Inszenierung in eine kompakte filmische Form: Mit einem Fokus auf die Figuren, die poetische Bildwelt des Puppentheaters und den feinen Humor der Geschichte vermittelt der Film einen Eindruck der Inszenierung und macht neugierig auf das Bühnenerlebnis.

Die Produktion entstand in enger Zusammenarbeit mit dem Puppentheater Magdeburg.

On 20 October 2025, the 10th mikopa of ZEOK took place in cooperation with the Bundeszentrale für politische Bildung (bpb) as part of the 12th edition of the ‘Politik im Freien Theater’ festival in the Galerie für Zeitgenössiche Kunst (GfZK). We documented the event and created a video.

The audience was invited to enjoy an extensive theatre and event programme based on the festival motto ‘Borders’. mikopa sees itself as a space for possibilities and alliances: borders are made visible, shifted and opened up for new connections. The title of the event, ‘kein-DA-zwischen: Ein multiperspektivischer Dialog’, refers to the importance of the spaces in between.

The annual conferences aim to raise mikopa's profile as a player in social dialogue in eastern Germany, to make participatory public engagement tangible as a counter-model to exclusive public engagement, to strengthen the voices of (post-)migrants, BIPoC and eastern Germans, and to create new alliances between marginalised voices and institutions.

Two gardens border each other, separated by a fence. In one, the rhinoceros tends to his plants and enjoys the breeze and the gentle chirping of birds – wonderful! The colourful elephant family next door is celebrating a fun party and firing up the barbecue. Trrrrrt! Bang! You could set off fireworks to express your joy. And so begins a chain of events that soon escalates, because every action on one side has an effect on the other.

We created the trailer for the puppet theatre play.

The timeless story of two brothers whose sibling love is greater than death: Jonathan and Karl meet again in the fantastic land of Nangijala, where it is always spring. But the idyll is deceptive. On the other side of the mountains, in the Heckenrosental valley, the tyrant Tengil and his sinister soldiers are wreaking havoc. Soon, Cherry Valley is also threatened, and Jonathan and Karl are faced with a difficult decision: they must free Nangijala from Tengil and his dark forces.

With puppets and music, director Jule Kracht adapts Astrid Lindgren's classic children's book, published in 1973, a story of courage and betrayal, love and death, fear and freedom, and the struggle between good and evil.

We created the trailer for the puppet theater play.

In 1983, the “Völle” was opened as the “Völkerfreundschaft” cultural center and taken over by the Leipzig Youth Welfare Office in 1993. After three years of renovation in the 1990s, the building now consists of the following rooms: An event hall with a stage, a foyer that serves as an exhibition space and small event area, a seminar room, a sports hall, and an open leisure center for children and young people.

In order to promote the rental of the premises in the “Völle” to citizens and initiatives, we have produced a promotional film for them.

On 17 and 18 October 2024, the 9th mikopa of the ZEOK took place at the Alte Handelsbörse and the University of Leipzig and was dedicated to the central question of East German and (post)migrant alliances. We documented the event and created a video and a social media reel, as well as documenting the panels.

Under the title ‘Us and the others? On East German & (post)migrant alliances,’ analogies in processes of devaluation and recognition towards East Germans and (post)migrants in Germany were explored and examined, as well as how alliances between the two groups can be built to tackle similar challenges together. The two-day event included workshops, panels, exhibitions, and music.

The annual conferences aim to raise mikopa's profile as a player in social dialogue in East Germany, to make participatory public engagement tangible as a counter-model to exclusive public engagement, to strengthen the voices of (post-)migrants, BIPoC and East Germans, and to create new alliances between marginalised voices and institutions.

On 23 and 24 November 2023, the 8th mikopa of the ZEOK took place at the Bibliotheca Albertina and the University of Leipzig under the title ‘Education in East Germany: fair, diverse, post-migrant.’ We documented the event and created a video.

We have long been living in a post-migrant society in which one in three citizens cites migration as a point of reference in their family history. But how do secondary schools, vocational schools, universities and (technical) colleges specifically address social diversity? To what extent is this development reflected in educational institutions – in their content, their structures and at the personnel level? What resources does civil society offer here and what contribution can post-migrant communities make?

The annual conferences aim to raise mikopa's profile as an actor in social dialogue in eastern Germany, to make participatory public engagement tangible as a counter-model to exclusive public engagement, to strengthen the voices of (post-)migrants, BIPoC and eastern Germans, and to create new alliances between marginalised voices and institutions.

After 25 years of restoration, the Dresden State Art Collections are presenting the completely rebuilt Damascus Room for the first time. The richly decorated reception room is considered a unique example of Syrian decorative art and is to once again become a place of encounter in Dresden.

The documentary, made in close cooperation with the museum, reflects on the history of the Damascus Room and its extensive restoration. The film poses the question of what the presentation of a historical reception room means for a museum of the present.

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.

The project MUSAIK. Jazz in Fugen took place on 4 September 2021 as a musical prelude to the cultural opening of the historic prayer rooms at the Marktkirche Halle (S.). As part of the ERDF concept for the renovation and upgrading of the Marktkirche Halle, which is an individual monument and cultural heritage site, the approx. 8 square metre rooms, which can be opened to the outside space on both sides of the church, are being reactivated. After the renovation of the Marktkirche in accordance with the preservation order, parallel to or following the building site period, the connection to the urban space will also be sought in the future through cultural formats and building site art. We filmed the musical opening of the event series.

The happening 30 Hours Round Table in cooperation with the Leipzig Women’s Festival brought together social initiatives and citizens on the Leipzig market square on 25 and 26 June 2021 to jointly set an example for social participation and gender justice. Based on the voices of the GDR women's movement of 89/90, the action created a space for remembrance, in which the future was negotiated with each other at the same time.

With the documentation of the event, we have produced a manual on how 30h Round Table works, or could work.

Heinze regularly organises lecture days to promote innovation and progress in the building sector and to foster dialogue between actors from science and industry. The second virtual edition of the ArchitekTOUR series is themed Alpine Architecture.

The videos we produced present architects from the Alpine region and their realised projects.

A utopia - what does it actually look like? How can it be imagined, experienced or tested?

For six days, the grassroots-organised congress worked on drafts for a social-ecological utopia. Due to the Corona pandemic, the congress took place mainly online. Besides panel discussions, there was a broad art and cultural programme that creatively asked questions about a just, ecological and feasible future.

We accompanied the congress in its various facets on all days and produced a short documentary, a video for the fundraising campaign and various social media clips.

For the web edition of the Balance Club / Culture Festival Leipzig 2020 we accompanied the recording of three video DJ sets in front of green screen and realized their post production.

The Festival sees itself as an interface between club culture and social criticism. By interweaving discourse, art and club, it creates the possibility to explore counterculture in its many facets and to enable political debates. Balance is offensive, interdisciplinary, feminist, performative and hybrid.

Under the guiding principle of Open Factory, the Internationale Bauausstellung (IBA) Thueringen is developing the Eiermannbau in Apolda into a place for many and many things. Through innovative reuse and reinterpretation, the icon of industrial modernism is to be brought back into the public consciousness, the potential of the district town of Weimarer Land is to be strengthened, and added value is to be generated beyond the town of Apolda.

For the kick-off of the Open Factory 2020, we realized a film that presents the site as a future working and creative place with workshops, studios, offices, businesses and productive open spaces.

At the international conference Bauhaus sammeln, curators, collectors, art historians, mediators, and museum people are invited to Dessau to exchange ideas about the globally scattered object and collection histories of the Bauhaus.

The interview series we created (3 questions for...) presents their perspectives on the Bauhaus in short interviews.

The Bauhaus Archive Berlin, the Bauhaus Dessau Foundation and the Klassik Stiftung Weimar are the institutions with the three largest Bauhaus collections in the world. However, the Bauhaus is not only a national heritage, but also an international one. Bauhaus objects and collections are scattered all over the world. The closure of the Bauhaus by the National Socialists, the defamation of their works as "entartet", fleeing and emigration have led to Bauhaus objects being collected worldwide.

The international conference Collecting Bauhaus from December 2 - 5, 2019 shows that the new Bauhaus Museum Dessau is part of a worldwide network of museums with Bauhaus collections. The participants exchanged views on the multifaceted provenances of the collections as well as the different exhibition and mediation strategies and, based on this, discussed questions of a global Bauhaus historiography. And finally, it was important to think about how the global interconnections can be made fruitful for a Bauhaus museum in the 21st century.

We documented the conference and edited lecture and discussion sequences from it.

The Werkleitz Festival 2019 in Dessau-Roßlau takes a look at the legacy of the Bauhaus from the perspective of current artistic productions and is inspired by the mutually facing tensions between the concepts of model and ruin.

For the festival, we conceived and produced interview films with the participating artists as well as the festival trailer.
