Film Director

In a little town lost in Eastern Europe, the lack of water and the unexpected war of the sexes risk a couple’s love affair. Tons of imagination and fun in an original mix of Kusturica, Jeunet, Javier Fesser and Chuck Jones’ feelings. Silver Meliès for Best European Fantastic Film.

Born in Hannover in 1968. His hilarious short Surprise! wins several international awards in 1995 (including those of Donostia and Valladolid). His first feature film its the comic fantasy Tuvalu, Silver Meliés in 1999. After Gate of Heaven (2003) he now surprises us with Absurdistan, filmed in Azerbaijan with a cast from different European countries.
