Béton Brut

This short film explicitly presents the peak of the Corona Virus Pandemic featuring empty streets, public plazas, and trains. It makes the viewer reflect on the issues of a society that were already present before the Pandemic but were only amplified by it. Loneliness, depression, and social pressure.

The subtitle "alles ist anders" ("everything's different") symbolizes the society's sudden awareness of those problems and the shift of the general mood. The short film was made in March as a school project.

Lockdown ("Alles ist anders")

The Covid-19 pandemic changed society entirely. A complete social and economic lockdown has lead to millions of people stuck in their homes in solitude. Workplaces, malls, train stations are usually locations of human interaction and sometimes chaos. On their own, without their normal daytime routine, people began to rethink their life and question the status quo. With little social contact, society started noticing the smaller things, distancing themselves from a lifestyle with high social pressure. "Petrichor" is a term that describes the scent of stone or concrete after a rainfall. This short film tries to convey the atmosphere of a changed world, where economic pressure is replaced by nature.
