THE IN-THE- HEAD FILM
What happens inside a head that never rests? The In-The-Head Film creates a subjective experience
inside a neurodivergent mind, where thoughts, memories, and obsessions intertwine.
Combining hand-drawn frame-by-frame animation, collage techniques, rotoscope, and generative AI,
the film constructs a dense and ever-shifting visual landscape. At its core, the film explores how thinking itself
can become a physical experience: sweating through thoughts, stumbling over words, or drowning in images that multiply endlessly. Sound and music – overlapping voices, dissonant textures, and fragments of melody – intensify the impression of a mind both trapped and liberated by its own activity. A life in a state of “too much.” Beneath all the flickering lies a deeper question: What does it mean to finish something?
Or to function in this world? How does one live under the pressure of infinite stimuli – clenching teeth at night, flooded with ideas by day? Rather than explaining, the film embodies this inner world.
It invites viewers to experience a state of heightened perception, where chaos and poetry exist side by side..

A TIN BIRD’S SONG 90min
KLAUS (57) dreams of freedom in a distant country where he can escape from his daily hardships and the constant feeling of not-belonging. Drivenby the archetype of the lonely cowboy, he longs for the romantic American west of his imaginary. His friend and filmmaker Konstantin Sichart (28) suggests they make a film together, an attempt to understand what this long trip could mean. Both dive into a process of mental training in order to explore the possibilities of phantasy within their realities. Roaming through unconventional german landscapes, the characters, which sometimes play themselves and at other times their cowboy alter-egos, are confronted with one-another’s expectations and consequently, frustrations. Not everything follows the script in this make-believe game. This road movie turns into a journey of filmmaking and self discovery, thorough loneliness and friendship.
AFAR SINGULARITÄT
"I am a sky where spirits live,
Stare into this deepening blue,
While the breeze says a secret Like this.
When someone doesn’t believe that,
Walk back into my house Like this.
If anyone wants to know what 'spirit' is,
Lean your head toward him or her.
Keep your face close. Like this."
– Rumi
