KURZFILM-DOPPEL

Description

THEATER CLEANER
Where theater is performed, energy inevitably arises. Existential emotions are blown into the stage space by the actors; the audience perceives this energetic change and rewards the performance with applause. Afterwards, all involved leave the hall, but what energy remains in the stage space! The humorous short film provides insight into the daily work of Volker Schnabel. He recently became self-employed and runs down-to-earth energetic cleaning of stage spaces. BY & WITH David Simon THANKS TO Monologfestival / TD Berlin DAVID SIMON, born in Flensburg, studied acting at the Hochschule für Musik und Theater in Leipzig. He has been engaged at Schauspiel Leipzig (formerly Centraltheater), Schauspiel Essen, Thalia Theater Hamburg, Theaterhaus Jena, Staatstheater Braunschweig, Theater Oberhausen, Staatstheater Hannover, as well as at Ballhaus Ost and HAU Berlin. In 2026, the ZDF series DAS MANKO will be released, which he developed, wrote, and shot with the collective of the same name. FEMALE GAZE NEUTRAL DENSITY FILTER
Women over 40 are supposedly perceived less: structurally, politically, sexually. To prepare for this approaching life stage, hannsjana meets a group of women who cleverly use their invisibility to their advantage – selfishly, uninhibitedly, or simply criminally. For the short film in mockumentary style, the documentary filmmakers apply a female gaze neutral density filter to portray these women and explore the subversive potential of invisibility.
