Old Days

Lillian (Mary Beth Peil) reluctantly enters a retirement community after her husband's death, and she struggles to find her place within the eccentric residents' social hierarchy, presided over by the queen bee of the retirement home, Sylvia (Helen Hanft). Feeling out of place and detached from the community, Lillian tries to forge an alliance with fellow outsider Louis (Brad Oscar), a middle-aged divorce who has been singing at the retirement home for as long as anyone can remember, but Louis would rather keep his distance from the often condescending residents. Despite the loneliness that Lillian faces in building a new life for herself at 74, she finds the potential to live more fully now than ever before.

Interpretation

A romantic couple's brief encounter with several philisophical thugs unfolds in an unusual way.

Staubkaskade

Fractals are nothing new. As colorful illustrations they have been appearing in media for many years. But there is more behind this. Fractals provide the mathematical tool set to describe the complex structures of nature. They even might represent one of its main principles. The easiest way towards understanding them is to start experimenting oneself. For this reason the Koch-Curve was modified and translated into a computer program, to form a tool to search for the grown, living, alien shape. There are no poetic concepts behind the project's name. 'Dust' is the mathematical description for a set of non-connected points. The cascade is a synonym for the principle of recursion, the basic technique behind the created computer program.

Sanguine

After escaping a lethal pandemic, a family of isolated survivors find themselves struggling with the sudden disappearance of their eldest son. When word of his possible infection reaches them, the Father must choose between abandoning him in the wilderness or unleashing the virus on his whole family.
