Bruno (55) and Lisa (28) both travel independently across East Germany. They immerse themselves in a series of small, unfamiliar environments, and free themselves slowly from the bonds and restraints of the past, and the future. In his portmanteau film, the young director, Daniel G. Schwarz, takes the observer on a journey through seven East German towns and cities. Together with the two protagonists, the film guides us through a fascinating succession of small, authentic milieus. The seven stories fluctuate between written stories and real incidents, calling upon the spectator to form their own images. Calm, well-nigh poetic scenes characterize and depict a cinema of genuine discovery. The film is carried forwards simply by movement, time and rhythm.

Formed by ice, filled by ice, often covered by ice, the Great Lakes encapsulate human exploration, migration, development and where we're headed. PROJECT ICE views North America's fresh water inland ocean through the prism of ice, from the crossroads of history, science and climate change. North America's five Great Lakes contain a staggering twenty percent of all the fresh water on the planet. Lake Superior by itself holds ten percent of Earth's fresh water. Our 4K digital cinema cameras explore this shared Canadian-American resource that holds a timely and telling story of geology, human movement, population growth, industrialization, cultural development, recreation and the profound impact people have had on the very environment they cherish and depend upon. Ice sits at the heart of it all.
