Frederic Rzewski eats spaghetti at Carlone Via della Luce 55(de)

The composer Frederic Rzewski ordered a film from Gerd Conradt for his piece “Selfportrait”. The film was supposed to be shown while he was playing his piece of music, he didn't want to be seen. The film shows Frederic Rzewski sitting down at the table in the Trattoria Carlone in the Trastevere district of Rome from a bird's eye view. He orders wine, salad and a portion of spaghetti. We watch as he eats, pays, gets up and walks out of the picture. All in one setting.

Santa Lucia(de)

This film has no story - one could be born at any moment. His characters are the composition of the composition that, in the time they live in, is the composition of the time in which they live. The situations are exemplary, they come from the reality of dreams, a movement takes on several dimensions, gives the impression of simultaneity, the passage of time is not perceived.

The Eve(it)

Simon is an eight-year-old boy who seems to have everything from life. He’s a handsome child, he’s rich yet unhappy. He senses that there’s something wrong with his life and this leads him to wander off thanks to his fervid imagination. His greatest wish is to leave the materialistic world behind since he isn’t fond of it. That’s why the only present he wants for Christmas is for Santa Claus to take him away to live in his fairyland toy factory. At the same time, a secret that his family has been keeping for a long time suddenly comes to the surface and it is feared that the worst might happen soon. The expectation for the stroke of midnight on the night before Christmas is transformed into reality for everyone on the eve of something truly different. Something terrible that might happen.

Water Hands(cn)

Water hands is the literal Chinese word for ‘sailor’. The sailor himself remains off-screen in this film, just like the woman who is waiting for him. The tight black-and-white images move through Singapore and Montenegro, while a logic all of its own links the various worlds and narrations.
