Parsifal
A psychological interpretation of the opera mixing in references to the history of Germany, Wagner’s life, German literature and philosophy. The action is centered on Wagner’s death mask. Kundry is the main character – one might read the film as the story of her redemption rather than that of Amfortas.
Der Pampelmusenmond
Because she believes she is standing in the way of her parents' happiness, seven-year-old Sarah runs away from home. But the world is too big for the little girl and treacherous and insidious dangers are lurking everywhere. But luckily Sarah has her snow globe, a gift from her father, and his promise that whenever the moon rises in the sky, round and yellow and fat as a grapefruit, something quite wonderful will happen. Because inside the snow globe live two fairy tale characters.
