#Love
Inspired by Arthur Schnitzler’s scandalous drama Reigen and Chantal Akerman’s famous film Tout en Nuit, the viewer witnesses a modern cycle of love.
The film portrays fleeting moments of happiness and disappointment: a young woman talks about her non-binary existence. We observe another woman who, after long years of marriage, finally leaves her home to embark on her first romantic adventure in a hotel room with a “blind date”. This is followed by a drunken drive home for a couple, whose nighttime outing ends in a dark landscape. To be continued!

“By means of its scenic diversity, #LOVE highlights the profound emotional and spiritual void of our overstimulated surfing and streaming society. The film depicts latent behavioral patterns of a completely consumer-oriented culture, addressing a startling contradiction of our present.
All the scenes in #LOVE form a potential cohesive narrative – a love cycle of various gender constellations whose longings can never be fulfilled.
With the final scene, a new day begins, a new story unfolds, a new potential film arises in the minds of the viewers that continues this love cycle...
#LOVE is a cinematic kaleidoscope. The film scenes consist of documentary, fictional, and found footage materials, telling of the unbroken longing of people for closeness and love in fleeting encounters within a contemporary metropolis.”
