They are committed to fight the battles they face together and never stop. They will keep running no matter what. The rounds follow one another, intertwine and echo each other. And sudden stops...
Constantly fighting the future, pursuing an imaginary victory, satisfying this vital need to always start over and improve. Every morning, every match, every training session.

Surfing Einstein" is an artistic documentary film. It deals with a group of physicists at the University of Rome, who in 2016 proved the phenomenon of gravitational waves predicted by Albert Einstein. However, the film does not focus on the scientific facts, but on the human aspects of the research, frustrations and moments of happiness, as well as the togetherness of the group. The great feature here is that the scientists themselves - an international and very diverse group of people - describe their everyday lives and thoughts not in interview form, but as a dance.

Street Motion Studio and the association Verein Kreativ Fabrik Innsbruck create a digital contemporary document with the dance movie JMSTM. The basic idea was to offer the dancers, who did not want to give up dancing despite online operation, contact and event bans, a platform to show their skills. The 82-minute film represents the continuous loop of culural and social standstill and the subsequent reawakening during the pandemic operation.

Like rooms of a home, we live in rooms of our lives; trapping moments and memories to the subtle things surrounding us. In the home of our mind, we repeat the past to move on into the future. This 30 minute dance for film was shot in one take, to explore the memories sewing our rooms together and how we choose to step outside or stay recessed in our past.

3000 people are NOT gathered in the Asteroid Theatre on the night of the big award show. In fact, not a single soul could attend The Great Grand Greatness Awards. Not the host, not the presenters, not the winners, not the bands, not the products in the ‘commercials’. This presents a mounting challenge to host May Lifschitz, who finds the situation becoming increasingly existential, as the show descends into bizarreness and pure poetic chaos.
