- "THINKING NIETZSCHE" is an essayistic documentary featuring interviews and performances based on Nietzsche's book "Human, All Too Human" which leads the viewer to extraordinary places of thinking.
- When two human bodies touch, a silent, unwritten "history of proximity" emerges - a dance through time, fleeting yet enduring. Based on drawings by artist Lisa Est, the film depicts touch as evidence of a shared history, as a tacit conversation between bodies that triggers a new history of commonality (Tactile Historiogenesis).
- "Repeat" is an experimental poetry film that brings together the poem "light from the greenery" ("licht ins grün") by Austrian author Sigrun Höllrigl with Indian actress Savita Rani. In conjunction with the music and sound composition by Michael Fischer, as well as the voices of Christian Reiner and Apollina Smaragd, the film delves into the enigmatic world between déjà vu and jamais vu.
- What happens if a philosophical text is mirrored in the world of sign language? What happens if thoughts and signs are translated into moving pictures? "Reading Through the Body" is a short ethnographic documentary showing how a woman who is deaf tries to comprehend and embody a text by Friedrich Nietzsche in an experimental setting.
- Bridging the gap between science and love, this film essay takes viewers on a journey of discovery through the public spaces of the University of Vienna to explore the connection between reason and emotion - between science and love. Within this philosophical experiment, contrasting images arise: a monument to rationality and a beating heart; a love letter and a technical definition of love.
- A decade in newspaper headlines - Austrian artist Lisa Est has cut out, torn, and collected these headlines. She has crocheted, glued, wrapped, and randomly mixed them together, creating a multi-layered work between object and collage art as well as experimental literature. "PalimpsEst" scratches, illuminates, and recombines these layers of transformation into 9 experimental image-and-sound poems: The Writing Cloud; Encounters in the Dark Fog; My Yesterday as a Reflection; Departure Inwards; Echoes in the Red Panorama; Endless Gaze; Through You; Arrival in Possibility; When I See You - Ocean; The Writing Cloud.
- What role does physicality play in science? "Thinking with the Hands" is a short ethnographic documentary dedicated to the involvement of physicality in scientific knowledge production.
- "Hey you. Watch out. What does the deep midnight say?" "Deternity" is an experimental poetic short film exploring Friedrich Nietzsche's poem "Once More" (also called "The Drunken Song" from the book "Thus Spoke Zarathustra"). By using a combination of performance and projection techniques, the film depicts a protagonist being confronted with his own psychological dilemmas in a scene dominated by alternating light and shadows.
- What is the silent moment between thoughts, glances, and memories? "The Remembering Movement" thinks poetically about this moment. This film depicts an experimental and poetic film triptych: "Thinking-Chant", "Gaze-Frame", and "Light-Texture" based on the poem "Since Then" by Marion Steinfellner and Mersolis Schöne. This is connected by Michael Fischer's soundscaping, which combines poetry and sound into a rhizomatic audio fabric triptych.
- "Sign Action Space" is a short experimental film about the musical actions of the hands of the Vienna Improvisers Orchestra. Led by Michael Fischer, who conducts the orchestra on an ad hoc basis using a vocabulary of hand signs, the orchestra creates unique compositions in the moment. The film explores the relationship between musical hand movements, sound, and space, deconstructing and condensing the orchestral communication process in graphic close-ups that focus on the hands of the conductor and the musicians. Using 14 cameras and various layering, animation, and stylization methods, the film aims to delve into the fascinating world of the ephemeral communication process that results in the creation of momentary compositions.
- As an archive in constant change, walls surround us. As on skin, traces of urban life are shown on them. Out of the corners of our eyes, scratches, nicks, shapes, letters and words are absorbed by us in passing moments. This is an attempt to escape the temporal dimension of our being - "Friends Forever" - and anchor in the exuberance of feelings - "Love". They reveal our longing for continuity, visibility and the expression of becoming. The past is reflected in these skins of the city. Today's manifestations of eternity will be nothing more than tomorrow's background for future messages: constant change and eternity at the same time - being preserved in change.
- "In This Present Space" is a cinematic realisation of a concert by the Vienna Improvisers Orchestra (VIO), conducted by Michael Fischer, exclusively staged for this film at the Odeon Theater in Vienna. A unique characteristic of the VIO is the communication of ad hoc musical ideas to the ensemble through hand signals from the Instant Composition Conductor. The film places a strong emphasis on the musical practice of Instant Composition Conducting and follows the communicative process in the poetic moment.
- Moments of a memory. Abstract traces and noisy audible tissue. Fuzzy symbols of dreams pass by. Overlapping spheres of dialogues. Jumping details of resistance. Fluid moments of realignment and vibrant togetherness of clarity.
- "Moons" is a portrait of the fathers of the composer Katharina Klement and the director and writer Ursula Mihelic.
