All the Fuzzy People (2023 Germany)
Episodes 1 to 2, 40 min
Guests: Janina Prem and Julius Lotter
Moderation: Ann Mayer
‘Five countrymen from rural Bavaria – that’s Brew Berrymore basically. Who have moved to the city and don’t feel like the conservative life in the countryside.’ ‘All the Fuzzy People’ followed the band Brew Berrymore more than 9 months in the making of their latest album ‘Fuzzy People’. From the first jam sessions to the finished album, there is a close look behind the scenes of the indie rock band. But Brew Berrymore is more than just making music: again and again, the musicians are committed to social projects and together with the organization Space Eye, even set up a transport of relief supplies to the Bosnian refugee camp Bihać. The series shows the dichotomy between their origins in the rural Lower Bavaria, the conservative prejudices and the desire for more. More openness, more acceptance and more music.

How far does an illegal refugee with a remarkable knowledge of German go to avoid deportation? Jamu and Uwe have nothing to lose. They take what they need and in every situation, no matter how hopeless, they still find a way out. Jamu comes from India, for him everything revolves around not being deported. Uwe comes from Germany. He is an egoist; all means are right for him to achieve his goals. The two go through thick and thin. Sometimes they fight for each other and sometimes against each other.

‘Vergiss.mich.nie’ is an Instagram series about the fate of the Swiss Verdingkinder (indentured child laborers). In the fictional story, Anna is 14 years old when she is hired out on a farm. There she becomes a slave worker and has to endure violence and abuse. Nevertheless, she does not give up hope of returning to her mother. In her Instagram stories, she tries to draw attention to her situation and to cope with her experiences. Her story was told in real time between 4 and 24 May 2021. Since then, they have been available in the highlights. Stock images and illustrations in the Instagram feed provide insights into the world from 1900 to 1978. This is intended to give viewers an understanding of that time and society. The project was a coproduction with SRF and is the first Instagram series in Switzerland. The aim was to deal with the topic, which is often little discussed in Switzerland, to the younger target group on Instagram.

QUITT (2023 Schweiz)
Animated Film Series, 3 episoden of 11 min
Moderation: Ann Mayer
(from 7 May the entire series on myfilm.ch)
Leo and Denny, two young guys. Here a rebellious poacher in the Alps, there a lost murderer in the Wild West. The actors, plastic mannequins with human physiognomies, drift through real Alpine snowy landscapes and the vastness of barren desert areas. They love, ride, drink, dance, pray, philosophize, shoot animals – and they shoot against each other. Song interludes comment on the plot and transform it into fantastic, surreal spheres. Quitt = art, comic, trash! Based on a novel by Theodor Fontane.
