Over 5,000 photos come together to form a fast-paced hunt through Berlin's time tunnel - a restless search for cracks and open wounds of German history in the city.

Scattered Sea follows 17 performers spanning two generations from the MENA/Maghreb region and Europe as they trace gestures of relation across borders—within a world fractured by historical trauma, displacement, and the longing for belonging. Through a poetic language of Magical Realism, performance, and documentary, the film constructs speculative spaces for decolonial reflection and future-oriented imaginaries.
Filmed across Morocco, Malta, and Germany, the geopolitical triangle shaped by layered colonial legacies and contemporary frictions between Europe and the MENA region is reflected. Through minimal gestures and symbolic actions, the performers inscribe and unsettle space. Hybrid zones of proximity and distance unfold: ruins, gardens, and streets are roamed; symbols are traced and deconstructed; sand is scattered and shaped into ephemeral islands between continents. The search for remnants transforms into a speculative act of placing traces—daring fragile beginnings.
The work weaves together cultural memory, decolonial inquiry, and historiographic critique, offering counter-narratives that resist linear temporality and binary world orders. It opens hybrid spaces for the reimagining of social and aesthetic imaginaries attuned to plural futures.

An Iranian taxi driver and his daughter, both long settled in Germany, clash over her work as a journalist. He fears for her safety. To protect her, he risks losing her forever. A film about the enduring power of repressive regimes—even beyond their borders.

At the edge of a forest in Japan stands a Buddhist temple. A priest approaches a waterfall amidst the surrounding trees. He consecrates the area and welcomes a woman. Together they perform "takigyo" – the ritual waterfall meditation intended to purify body and soul.

Are Jewish people in Germany allowed to take a critical view of the war in Gaza? Or do they feel obliged to show solidarity with Israel? A/ mir wonders how he is perceived here as a peace-loving Jew. Infrared images offer the aesthetics of reversal. The invisible becomes visible, the visible alien. Noise-cancelling headphones momentarily silence the outside in favour of the inside. In the picture: the countdown from 24 to zero frames per second.
