Encouraging films
At a time when too many people have realized how their goals are being driven forward by scaremongering, I want to provide a counterforce. My goal is to give courage, to show positive examples and to promote a proactive interpretation of the current situation. The glass is half full!

I have been making short film recordings with my mobile phone for 3 years. There is always diversity around me, which I love so much. Just admire the great little video. 100s that are worth it...
My mother Margareta is a wonderful example of how you can still have a wonderful life even with severe dementia, at 92. I made this film as an incentive for everyone who has to deal with people with dementia. It's worth it, take care of them!
In Essen we show how helpful it is to connect non-profit and volunteer initiatives by giving them a forum where they can get to know each other. We call it "WeCamp" and the film shows how successful it is and that it should be repeated in other cities.
Music unites us, if it weren't for the GEMA, which makes us all afraid to use this powerful community instrument. With Johannes Wolf we have found a composer who has put a sing-along song, a kind of club dance, under a free license for all of us (Song, notes here...). Everyone can use it freely, because "watering the tree" can mean so many things: teaching something, handing over bread, caring for someone... Here is an example from the choreographer, Jennifer Carmen Kubistin (more...),
Am 14. August 2021 eroberten die Taliban sieben Versorgungshauptstädte in Afghanistan. Since then, women have to cover themselves completely to go to the street, and the worst thing is that they neither work nor go to school or university.
Long live Afghans and Afghanistan, long live all the respected tribes and nationalities of the great Afghanistan, long live and victorious the brave, hardworking, brave, brave, suffering and successful women of our beloved homeland, the great Afghanistan 🇦🇫🇦🇫🇦🇫
Former refugees together with German citizens, hand in hand for a strong WE. The WEFestival 2021 was a huge success in terms of content, humanity and society! In the middle of the Ukraine crisis, there was a musical and lyrical, often very content-heavy gathering of artists from Germany, Ukraine, Syria, Afghanistan, Ireland, Brazil,... An experience that none of us will ever forget! An experience of togetherness, of friendly, happy contacts through real experiences with people you would not have met otherwise.
10 years of "Media Harbor Düsseldorf" - what a life!!!! This is where the film was made. After 1 1/2 years on Lake Baldeney and 2x 18 months on the Mediterranean, it was an absolutely exciting time. Yes, you can do it with almost any boat, even if it is not always comfortable. But see for yourself.
I have a dream that one day Muslims, Christians, Jews and people of other religions will sit at many large tables in our city and talk and laugh together….
It is a great gift that we humans can celebrate together a festival of faith, peace, dialogue, and a feeling of togetherness.
