DEFUNCT by Michael Richter tells the story of traumatized soldiers coming home from their mission unable to lead a normal life anymore. Their emotional disturbances are so serious that they are in need for psychiatric therapy. The disorders result from a war which we have emotionally avoided so far. The feature length documentary portrays also an armored regiment being trained for their operation in Afghanistan.

How can arise moving image, that has its origin in the written or spoken word? The film "LyriX" deve- lops this question in a depiced way. Three poems of the lyricist Hendrik Rost – ‘X’, ‘Radio Germany’, ‘The last poem’- find complete expression in an exposed and difrent way. It evolves a dash of the world of the lyricist from Hamburg: As an avid surfer he exposes himself to the ocean. The physicality of this extreme sport can be sensed, but always stays in the aloof view of the camera.
