LIEFER_ANT
(2024) - 20min
LIEFER_ANT
The subterranean ant-city is gradually collapsing, but the ruling class is doing nothing about it. Liefer_Ants are the underprivileged class with the duty to deliver parcels. Two of them decide to revolt against the class system to find a way to stop the catastrophe.
The concept for the film emerged from a workshop I held where teenagers were asked to imagine a fictional story which dealt with the topic of the climate catastrophe. I reworked the Ideas into a screenplay. The roles are also played by said teenagers.
Created in collaboration with Kunstschule Sauterleute e.v. and funded by Demokratie leben! and elobau Stiftung.
Screenplay and direction: Luca De Sousa Oliveira, Animation: Alexander Pannier, Sound and title design: Lion Sauterleute.
In 2023, I collaborated with the Dokumentationszentrum NS-Zwangsarbeit to create educational videos about slave labor in Nazi Germany.
The videos try to inform on the subject while also offering new viewpoints through the use of drawings. Most of the drawings are based on photographs and some that illustrate the topic overall are invented and more abstract.
Text by Lisa Schank and Thomas Hirschlein, Voiceover by Lindiwe Breuer, editorial office: Daniela Geppert and Dr. Christine Glauning, drawings and editing by me.
