The New Blockheads Group was established in the "wild" nineties in St. Petersburg and split up in 2002. Inspired by the absurd poetry of the futurists and modern philosophy, they were spontaneous in their creative actions and combined performance, installation, philosophy, literature and design to create works according to the ideals of the group. One of its members, Sergei Spirikhin, has lived in Vienna since 2002 and we follow him as he creates art wherever he goes in this wild and crazy documentary. In Russian and German, subtitled. 2020; 60 min.

Parenthesis, a short impressionistic poem, liberates the inserted thought from its master.

... Lucid Dreams is an altered state of consciousness in which a person is aware that he is dreaming, and can control its content to some extent.

Invention in C Major - Haunted by the music coming from inside her, a music machine comes face to face with reality when an unexpected visitor appears.  Will her past dictate her future?
