Both my parents and grandparents had told about their experiences of witnessing dragon and strange astronomic as kids. These things became part of my childhood memory which I still hold onto deeply. I believe there are some kind of lives and energy that are beyond human existence. They are totems which evolved into symbols throughout thousands of years. Whereas modern science , under the coverage of logic, made every one of us a superstitious bystander. Truth is like an enormous broken flower fading on earth. How do these incidents relate to casual bystanders? The mystery of these beliefs is best understood by peasants, who have intermingled with the land and nature for thousands of years. But are they still there, or are they hidden in a secret way? This is what I have been looking for. It is unique and belongs to everyone. As Nietzsche wrote in “Also sprach Zarathustra”: “You and I even in the mountains we seek something different. I came here to seek more safety, because it is still the strongest tower and will”.

This film is about the nature of existence and memory. Seventy years ago, on a night, a musician was shot dead on stage in a nightclub in Shanghai, a story found by a Frenchman on an old newspaper today. Although the musician was long forgotten in the history,this French gentleman makes his way to Shanghai in the hope of finding the traces of the musician's existence. In a shabby old apartment, he reads aloud the novel written by Patrick Modiano, calling the spirits that used to live here.His voice evokes the response of the Shanghai musician. All of a sudden, it seems to him as if they share the same memories, details and breath. As Modiano puts it: "there was nothing to set us apart from the others, those Sundays in August.”

The film work by Tobias Yves Zintel integrates various genres such as performance, installation, music, and theater. He makes films in an idiosyncratic visual language, confronting us with scenes of grotesqueries, mysterious actions, and sublime universes. Mental Radio, the film?s title, is taken from the title of a book written in 1930 by Upton Sinclair, which describes the experiments conducted with his wife, who had telepathic powers. Besides the attempt to trace the inexplicable things in a family constellation, Zintel also grapples with the question of how to deal with the mentally ill in our society.

Tobias Yves Zintel, born in 1975 in Passau, lives and works in Berlin. He studied under Joseph Kosuth at the Akademie der Bildenden Künste in Munich.

Der Film Traumberuf Realität, entstanden während des Interventionsprojektes ?Hauptschule der Freiheit? der Münchner Kammerspiele, ist eine filmische Reflexion über die Lebensperspektiven junger Menschen. Befragt werden zehn Absolventen einer Münchner Hauptschule zu ihren beruflichen Hoffnungen und Wünschen; sowie zu den scheinbar notwendigen Kompromissen, die der Arbeitsmarkt an sie heranträgt. Spürbar wird die Malaise einer postindustriellen Gesellschaft, in der schwindende Lohnarbeitsplätze subtile und offensichtliche Deformationen verlangen, ohne eine glaubwürdige Zukunft zu bieten. Sekundiert von einem Bildungssystem, das, statt die Menschen in ihrer Substanz zu stärken, sie als Erfüllungsgehilfe des Arbeitsmarktes biografisch degradiert. Dagegen stellt ?Traumberuf. Realität.? eine einzige Frage: Wie würdest du gern mit deinem Leben umgehen? - und kontert die Tristesse des somnambulen Arbeitnehmers mit persönlichen Träumen und Wünschen. Die Suchkriterien lauten: Wo ist die Würde und das Selbstbewusstsein? Wo ist der Respekt? Welches Potential, welche Kreativität und welche Leidenschaft werden unterdrückt und verschwendet? Und welche Perspektiven und Möglichkeiten könnten wir entwickeln? Könnten?

Tobias Yves Zintel greift in seinen filmischen und performativen Arbeiten auf Methoden und Mittel des Experimentalfilms, der Theaterinszenierung, der Musikproduktion und -aufführung sowie der Installationskunst zurück. Die so entstehenden Montagen beschreiben bewusst eine Grenzüberschreitung zwischen Fakt und Fiktion, zwischen Dokument und Fragment. Das zugrunde liegende Material rekurriert dabei stets auf Aspekte der Kunst- und Filmgeschichte, Philosophie und Naturwissenschaft wie auch der Alltags- und Popkultur. Bei den Arbeiten stehen Fragen der Subjektkonstitution im Zentrum – präziser: Die Handlungsweisen und Rituale sowie die Wissens- und Glaubenssysteme, welche den Prozess der Subjektwerdung begleiten.

Storm over London is a film that seemingly uses the tropes of narrative however the film hesitates to make a conclusion instead it take us into a journey of speculation.There is a storm brewing in London, there are riots in the streets. Who is that person laying on the bed? And what's all this about a fly. Storm over London is an enigmatic,surrealist detective story with a touch of Kafka.

A wrongly imprisoned man is taken to be executed. At the very last moment, he manages to escape. He wants to see his home one last time before dying. On his way, the Man, like a wild animal, hides away from people, becoming more and more a part of the wilderness that surrounds him. Julius Zizz`s disturbing new short film balances between beauty and menace. It suggests that there may be grace in being threatened, tracked and hunted: it posits evil in the power of the pursuer and shows how that power infects innocence. Shot in bright sun and light-dappled forests, THE WOLF, speaks of the horror of mankind in the ravishing face of nature. It is a remarkable work about how society defines itself in terms of whom it excludes, a fearful portrait of tribalism. Laurence Kardish, Senior Curator, Department of Film, The Museum of Modern Art

Nadir takes place at Norra Grängesbergsgatan, a kilometer-long street just outside central Malmö. A place of sometimes conflicting cultural and political interests, which was once considered a “no-go zone” by the municipality, as well as cultural gentrification zone, can perhaps be described as an expressive and symphonic micro-city. Surrounded by several small-scale industries, established in the 1930s, there is a lingering scent from the nearby Pågen bread-factory. Here, a Baptist church gathers upstairs of an old production facility side by side with flowing neon from Arab furniture stores and carpet stores. In Nadir, the narratives surrounding the street are reformulated as “anti-narrative” through a series of sensorial sequences through and on the street.

Qirat is loosely based around an oral family anecdote of a robbery that took place in the lush valley of Fez in northern Morocco during the 1980s. In the film, the events have been transposed to Ouarzazate, located on the edge of the Sahara Desert in central Morocco. Here the anecdote is reconstructed freely, over the course of a single Friday, shot solely during dawn, dusk and finally night.

Set in the millenary Chinese city of Suzhou —now a super modern city— a fragile reconstruction of optical reality fails to fully materialise. Two mysterious characters help the “package” (POV) to follow a linear trajectory of space time, nevertheless there will be several instances to escape the linear construct. Sounds of machine guns, sonic monsters and war explosions do not interrupt the peaceful flow of an evening walk.
