Staatenlos - Klaus Rózsa, Fotograf
Klaus Rozsa, a well-known and politically active photographer, lived in Zurich for decades as a stateless individual. All of his applications for naturalisation were refused on political grounds. In 1956 he fled Hungary, growing up in Switzerland with a Jewish father who had survived Auschwitz and Dachau. Due to the extreme proximity of such a fate, the camera led him repeatedly to places where injustice was done. It was this particular quality of his camerawork that proved fateful for him.

Death by Rescue: The Lethal Effects of Non-Assistance at Sea
In April 2015, two shipwrecks in the central Mediterranean resulted in over a thousand deaths. The first, on 12 April, occurred when an overcrowded boat was approached by a large commercial vessel. Less than a week later, on 18 April 2015, a similar incident led to over eight hundred deaths after an overcrowded vessel collided with a cargo ship that had approached to rescue its passengers. Both incidents are in part the result of changing EU policies toward at-sea rescue, particularly the retreat of state rescue operations and a resulting onus on commercial vessels to fill the ‘rescue gap’.

Fanzine
Fanzine - a word that originated in the forties of the last century, means a combination of the words fan - lover and magazine - magazine. From the very beginning until today, these are amateur publications that deal with less popular, often even obscure topics. Fanzines experienced their heyday with the emergence of punk culture, but although fans of underground music were the most active creators of this form of expression, fanzines often deal with socially engaged topics, art, sports and so on. When mainstream culture does not provide enough information, or when it does not allow you to express your ideas, attitudes and interests in a way that is close to you, you can take matters into your own hands and publish everything you want in a fanzine, of which you are the creator, publisher and distributor.

Concrete Ghosts
Concrete Ghosts explores urban spatiality and temporality based on Michel de Certeau’s dialectic between space and place, inside and outside, walking and seeing. The film consists of two series: The first one shot through window panes, invisibly detaching the viewer from the outside, like screens creating a space beyond filled with dreams, memories, fantasies and ghosts. The second unfolds a dialectic between the city down below, made of thousands of footsteps forever unrecorded and lost in time, and the panoptic vision from above, which only sees an immobile texture laying dead before its singular eye. The film was shot with a Bolex on 16mm colour film and uses methods of multiple exposures, different film speeds and hand cranking the film backwards in order to create multiple layers of time and space on one material filmstrip.
