As part of the “Breathless” project five documentary flms were created which artistically explored the themes of acceleration and time:
Time’s Up (Germany, 15 min)
by Jan Peters and Marie-Catherine Theiler
An accident tears the two filmmakers out of their hectic everyday lives and becomes the trigger for their personal time experiment. The framework is given by Marie-Catherine’s pregnancy, whilst the directors leave no stone unturned to examine with wit and irony how today’s society – and above all themselves – deals with the theme of ‘time’.

Milltown, Montana (Germany, 34 min)
by Rainer Komers
Carefully composed images, striking sound collages, no dialogues: “Milltown, Montana” is an essayistic foray into a grandiose landscape, albeit one martyred by man. With tremendous visual language Rainer Komers documents a region that was once the largest mining area in the US, but now seems to be locked into a phase of postindustrial standstill.

One Day Today Will Be Once (Germany, 28 min)
by Anca Miruna Lazarescu
In a small church in Halberstadt, eastern Germany, an organ is playing John Cage’s piece “Organ 2/ASLSP” as slowly as possible – uninterrupted and until 2640. This is a film full of profound, but also humorous moments which address the question of perceiving time in a unique way.

I Love My Boring Life (Czech Republic, 26 min)
by Jan Gogola
The diary of grandmother Nemcova, a woman from the Prague suburb of Zbraslav, develops from a chronicle of everyday family experiences, observations about the weather, and political events into a surreal rapprochement with eternity.

The Phantom of Liberty II (Czech Republic, 59 min)
by Karel Žalud
An experimental film about time that investigates its physical dimension as well as its influence on our perception, our action, our social rituals, and our view of the world.
