Some strange lights appear at night in the Mexican desert. The residents tell us what they’ve seen: fire, a fireball, lights flying, lightning falling from the sky and a flash. The singularity of each experience builds a complete story narrated by a choir of people. An encounter with this strange phenomena can be surprising, dangerous or even fatal. The night isn’t as dark as it seems. The desert is full of all kinds of living beings. This emptiness is the place for everyone. Desert Lights invites us to open our eyes wide in the twilight and to listen to the sounds hidden in the blackness. A horror movie, in the darkness of the desert.

Phantasmagoria, 1945 is the story told by Nazi Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels to his six young children while presenting an after-dinner slide show using a magic lantern and glass slides. It’s a children’s ghost story about propaganda and the media, a meditation on the past as a warning to the present. This film was part of a four-channel video installation presented at Schloss Rheydt – the actual castle that Goebbels was given by the town of Mönchengladbach in 1942. And this is the same town where the creator’s father was born and escaped from in 1939. The opening footage was shot at the actual castle.
