Best for Fests 'Sekuritas': production notes and EPK

user
My workplace was in a small house in the industrial quarter. I worked there for many years. The demolition date was postponed again and again; then - one day - it was fixed. At night, when the house creaked and cracked, and the light switch didn't work, I took it as a sign: The house was sending me home. Sometimes I stayed, went to the roof terrace, looked over the empty industrial quarter. The fewer lights that burn, the more connected you feel to them. It's a no-man's-land, which ...

A poetic and twisted kaleidoscope that centers around desire, security and melodious noises which move through the entire fabric of the building.
