Camera Acting

Usually it is projects from Kino Kabarets or Kino Dynamique. These are shortfilm festivals where you shoot and cut your film within 71 hours or less and present it at the end of the last day, usually on a cinema screen.

So I play a TV watcher, a shy in the bus sitter, a king, an old ship owner, a chair sitter, a city shaman, a strange tea party host, a therapist, a philosopher....

 

Kinokabarets (also called: Kino dynamique):
Kabaret like varieté.. a variety of acts. Films usually are up to 7-10 minutes.

 

 

"Wake up call" - D:Nikita Gibalenko, part: city shaman (2016)

Inspired by Carlos Castaneda, Nikita asked my to play the city shaman and also I helped on light in the first scene.

60-90 minutes of tough work and a few cramps later we have quite a funny outcome of trickfilm.


"Mademoiselle Florentine": - D: Shirin Hooshmandi/ Clemens Niel (2015)

In a boat called "Florentine" that serves as coffee shop, we see a boy grow up until he is old and probably forced to give away the beloved boat and the family tradition.
