--- OCT 2 ---
Liminal Literature by Simon Spieske
Germany 2024
Experimental Short
The film explores the concept of "liminal literature," employing surreal, often unsettling imagery to blur the boundaries between reality and fiction. This form of literature represents a journey into the abyssal realms of the human mind, confronting the viewer with the destructive power of knowledge and the potential dissolution of the self that accompanies the intrusion into forbidden domains. Surreal visuals, absurd humor, and an evocative sound design amplify the immersive experience, making the film an intense engagement with the notion of "liminal literature."
By intertwining narrative threads that seemingly flow without clear separation between the real and the imaginary, the film challenges not only the viewer's perception but also their understanding of identity and reality. The liminal experience it portrays is not a linear journey but a circling around an epistemic black hole—a place where knowledge both illuminates and destroys.
At its core lies the question of the consequences of unrestrained insight: Can a person enter the forbidden areas of their mind without losing themselves? The film deliberately leaves this question unanswered, inviting the audience to question the limits of knowledge, truth, and personal identity.
Despite its complexity, the film remains accessible by incorporating humorous and absurd moments that lighten the weight of its themes without diminishing their depth. It is not only a homage to the transformative possibilities of liminal literature but also an invitation to embrace the game of life—with all its temptations, dangers, and enigmas.

Germany 2024
Feature Documentary
A portrait in moving pictures about handicapped artist in a galery in the german city Gießen. The film portraits their life and their art. The audience gets to laugh, live and cry with the artist and their extraordinary talent. The movie is not what one expects. It is just about art and life. The disabilities vanish through art.
