Aura

Migraines are the third most common disease in the world, affecting 15% of the human population, and is so much more than "just a headache". Using an ambivalent love letter language, AURA introduces the disturbing world of a migraine patient. It is not explaining medical processes, but rather gives and insight based on emotions.

Uniperverse

In her bachelor thesis "Science vs. Fiction", Vanessa Melzner researched the origin of supposedly real UFO abduction stories, which are said to have occurred increasingly on the American continent between the 1950s and 1970s. In these stories, victims reported that they had been abducted by aliens and had had sexual intercourse with these beings. The short film "Uniperverse" seeks answers to the origin of these events. It parodies three of the most curious UFO incidents in history by comparing them with erotic filmic depictions and by making the sexual aspect absurd.
