Far out in a well-hidden forest lives the people of the elves. One day, the elves are leaving the enchanted forest to enter the world of the human beings. They encounter hitherto unknown challenges: having to look for work, having to decide how to live, reading timetables and finding the love of their life. Suddenly, their days are full of difficult situations. The magical powers will not help them - or will they? Leaving the Magic Forest was developed and shot with the close collaboration of pupils of the Paul-Kraemer-School in Frechen, near Cologne. They are telling their own personal stories about leaving school and entering the world of the grown-ups. The film shows their dreams, their fears, their wishes and their reality.

UnWound explores the history of toy robots from the earliest Japanese scrap metal pieces to the current battling robot craze.

I wanted to show the two sides of the Japanese countryside. 1. the environment, specifically nature even in the human manipulation of landscape and 2. the aging population and decline of pastoral life. I wanted to especially experiment with the sights and sounds to show that the human flow of time does not affect the longer natural flow of time. I wanted to show the strong bonds we create with ourselves through the veneration of our ancestors are indestructible but pales in comparison to the forces of nature.

The third installment in Koszulinski's Florida trilogy, Last Stop, Flamingo takes one last critical look at the sunshine state. Koszulinski investigates a region defined by imaginary histories and landscapes, from the drained and dredged river known as The Everglades to the man-made white sand beaches that make up Florida's coastline. Early visions of Florida landscapes are revealed, from the early 20th-century Koreshan utopian community, founded by Cyrus Teed in the swamplands of Florida, to the world's largest planned subdivision--Golden Gate Estates--which projected a population of over 400,000 residents. Five-hundred years after Ponce de Leon's discovery of Florida, Koszulinski reflects on the many ways in which Florida's landscapes have been irreversibly shaped by human desires.
