The person injured by mental and physical violence in an intimate relationship suffers from post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) after being out of control of the violent person. Wherever in the eyes of people with PTSD the outside world is strange and frightening, this mainly shows the psychological state of the person who has the constant feeling of being monitored, despite having escaped the control of the oppressor. In intimate relationships, domestic violence, sexual abuse, mental abuse and other criminal behavior are often difficult to detect due to the privacy of the crime scene and the concealment of criminal actions. At the same time, it is difficult to clarify to outsiders the fact that the victim suffered mental control and personal injury. Because of the violent relationship, even after the end of this relationship, it will continue to produce pain. In fact, it can be seen that past experience has seriously destroyed his spirit and it is important not to ignore their "cry for help" to ensure that an experience of this type no longer receives him. This video serves to make the feelings of a person who has suffered violence feel like this is always around the corner ready to cut a "piece of heart and soul" of the oppressed again, creating an increasingly terminal wound, increasingly incurable and catastrophic. The scenes of everyday life are presented in an associative way, but there are frightening horror fantasies, interspersed with personal struggles in the pr

A Group of Eight global players representing eight nations entangled in an absurdist political gamble with the truth. The dealer spins the roulette and reads cards of facts that define the game and create turmoil on the table. Austria is about to lose, and things turn ugly. The game becomes reality that nobody can escape. This is a hybrid film, a documentary disguised as tragicomical fiction. The film releases unpublished historical documents on a 100 year old cold case of high level espionage that crushed the international intelligence system by mistrust and lies, leading to a world war. The time is 100 years ago, or today. As tensions, accusation and blame on the roulette table escalate, the film ends in a stately quadrille of shifting alliances based on a march composed 100 years ago. The treaties of 1919 shifted the powers of Europe, ‘The End of Days is still not due. But Boy do I have some Crackerjack Songs for you’ are the last rhymes with which the film ends tragicomically. ‘Clash of Giants’ is a film, and the publication of some controversial historical data. A book of the film stills published by Verlag für Moderne Kunst in 2020 will reference in detail these historical documents for release to the scientific community and the general public.

After a call for help from the East German Association of Fine Artists of the GDR to the West German Association of Fine Artists (BBK) in Frankfurt am Main in November 1989 to help the GDR artists who had become unemployed, led to negotiations to merge the two associations. Since October 1989 the GDR artists had received no more income from previous state contracts. After months of talks and discussions, including about how the artists can earn money with their art in West Germany, the plans for a joint project “East Side Gallery” were forged. In February 1990, after obtaining permission from the still east German Ministry of National Defense, it was officially established the project "East Side Gallery". On September 28, 1990 the East Side Gallery was officially opened. With their unique works of art on the wall, the artists created evidence that the desire for freedom can overcome all boundaries, all violence and coercive measures. 118 artists from 21 countries created over one hundred paintings over a length of 1316 meters. They expressed their joy that the Wall had fallen and the Cold War was over. The "East Side Gallery" is therefore a historical place with a unique dual character. On the one hand it is a place of artistic freedom and a symbol of joy and happiness over the peaceful overcoming of the German division and it is also a strong testimony to the GDR border regime on the other hand. The film shows above all the enthusiasm of the people at the "East Side Gal
