Zwei Bilder (1984)
Character: Joachim
The story of a woman who has to choose between two men. Shot in black and white and in the classic silent movie format. There is no camera movement, neither a pan nor a drive and certainly no zoom. Everything is extremely simple: the title, the title credits, the music (a flute sonata by Bach), the story that is told.

Rudolf Thome - Überall Blumen (2016)
Character: Self
Rudolf Thome’s idiosyncratic oeuvre was created with a continuity rare in German cinema – he has directed 28 feature-length films over more than four decades since 1968. The writing of the script for film no. 29 and the parallel efforts to secure financing form the thread that runs through this cinematic portrait, which consists wholly of conversations and observations around Thome’s home, a converted farm in Brandenburg. The filmmaker is nothing if not forthcoming, and the viewer has the opportunity to experience him in various other roles: as a gardener, a father, a cyclist, and a performer of his own persona.
