A conceptual artist at work. HANS-PETER FELDMANN – ART, NOT ART shows the artist’s view of reality, as perceived in everyday objects and depictions. Daily life is upturned and examined from all sides by means of little disruptions, seemingly nonsensical actions, fastidious collecting, acts of destruction and of organization. The film itself incorporates the element of chance: instead of telling a linear story a scene each was chosen from numerous stories and then edited together according to a random selection process.Contact:Corinna Belz Filmproduktioncoraswift@aol.com

Until her early death at the age of 31 in 1907, Paula Modersohn-Becker had two great loves: the art and the city of Paris. With great pleasure and determination, she explored both.Between 1900 and 1906, she visited Paris four times, spending a total of two years in the French capital. Like a sponge, the young German sucks up the Belle Epoque. She discovers Cézanne, meets Rodin, attends courses in private academies, draws daily in the Louvre.

A film about words and about a luminary of modern literature: about Peter Handke, with Peter HandkeIn her new documentary, filmmaker Corinna Belz explores the enigma that is Peter Handke. His book titles read like the tunes on a jukebox, like the watchwords of several successive generations of readers: ‘Offending the Audience’, ‘The Goalkeeper’s Fear of the Penalty’, ‘A Sorrow Beyond Dreams’, ‘Short Letter, Long Farewell’, and ‘The Weight of the World’. In the ‘60s, Peter Handke showed how to walk the walk of the author-cum-popstar. Yet the moment he made the bestseller lists, he turned his back on all that. He went traveling, taking his readers along with him, into the rhythm and precision of his language, the long, pulsating sentences, the invention and examination of reality. The film shows Mr. Handke as a young man and in his daily life today, always devoted to language, posing the burning questions: Where are we now? And, to quote one of his early films: How to live?
