- A Story by Jean-Denis Römer ,shot and edited by Joshua Kantara. A simplistic approach to capture the pure essence of the acting without interruption. No fancy camera moves. Just simplistic lighting. Subtle music. All of these components simply help to carry the story. The movie short "ugly" gives the viewer a little insight in the head of a young man who's vocabulary doesn't entail the words guilt and remorse. Even though the character's appearance is far from ugly, his way of calmly localizing his actions without any form of guilt makes the viewer question how one can commit such evil with a clean conscience. However, the humanity in him does appear in small blinks of light even though the antagonist himself doesn't realize it. This short shows how "ugly", "pretty" can be.

- This documentary offers a glimpse into Carl Andersens uncommon art and life. Born in Vienna, the capital of Austria in 1958, he participated in the development of Viennas subculture through his bar called "Fun Factory". It was a unique place to have some cheap drinks, see strange movies and join concerts in the cellar. He also influenced the Viennese film community by bringing art house and underground movies, like "Liquid Sky" (1982), or "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" (1973) in uncut versions to the theaters. As he was a film maniac he started to direct movies by himself. His first two movies "I was a Teenage Zabbadoing" (1988) and "Mondo Weirdo - a Trip to Paranoia Paradise"(1990) became underground classics. In the late 80's Andersen went to Berlin. There he directed and produced more than 10 No-Budget movies. Diffic ult relationships and the process of filmmaking itself were his main themes. He got lost in alcoholism and committed suicide in August 2012. The directors Martin Nechvatal and Gerald Jindra follow his artistic life and show Andersens cinematic work from the beginning until the end. People who worked with him, loved and hated him and who were influenced by him portray a ruptured personality, torn between passion and rebellion, between alcohol addiction and a will for freedom.
