After a four-year hiatus, I’ve finally wrapped up filming my movie “UND ICH BEHAUPTE” (inspired by a poem from Marco Kerler). The second half is now complete! 🎬 This was all captured on Kodak Ektachrome with the new Logmar Super 8 camera across various locations in Chemnitz.

Today, I finally managed to film the blood moon until it turned back into a full moon. The scenes will be part of my next film. I used the Schneider-Keuznach 240mm for the first time, a wonderfully reliable lens. And now it’s time for hand processing!

I’m preparing my new film “Do You Know the Night”, inspired by a haunting poem by German writer Karl May. The experimental film will be shot from autumn through spring in Waldheim and the Ore Mountains — on 16mm Kodak Double-X, the same raw, textured stock Robert Eggers used for “The Lighthouse“.

I've now seen the trailer and poster for Chistopher Nolan's “Odyssey” and can't stop thinking about Fritz Lang, who also films the “Odyssey” in Godard's film “Contempt”. youtu.be/3W2VFCdKZJU

RIP David Lynch (1946–2025): He was one of the main reasons why I started making movies. After his “Inland Empire”, nothing was the same for me. I will miss his art. He has now entered the Red Room. Thank you!

Jean Eustache's THE MOTHER AND THE WHORE was described by Cahiers du cinéma as the best film of the 1970s and is now on Blu-Ray from Criterion. To finally be able to see Eustache's masterpiece is a revelation for me: Leaud in his own free-spirited world, where, in my opinion, he is at his best.

Studiocanal's Blu-ray release of ten of Alfred Hitchcock's early films with new restorations and scores is a masterstroke: I have never seen his early silent and sound films in such good quality. A great pleasure! @studiocanal.com @plaion.bsky.social

While shooting my short film ANCIENT LORE in 2023, I was looking for a place that could serve me as a visualisation of H.P. Lovecraft’s underwater world R’lyeh. I found it in the Phare d’Eckmühl lighthouse in Brittany. Now I got a tin of sardines by chance and am dreaming myself back to R’lyeh.

Oh yes, it is so disturbing and fascinating. Reminds me somehow of Jean Rollins NIGHT OF THE HUNTED, that was made five years later.

The three Russ Meyer films restored and released on Ultra-HD by Severin Films in the USA are the sensation of the year for me. For the first time, you have the original aspect ratio and perfect picture and sound quality, restored for the first time from the original film elements since the seventies

“INTO THE REALM OF THE NIGHT is a film that grounds us in reality but then transcends the viewer into a mystic universe where music and image collide and space and time merge.” – Mike Rollo, 23. Dresdner Schmalfilmtage vimeo.com/669302298
