BILDNIS EINER TRINKERIN (Portrait of a Female Drunkard. Ticket of No Return, Ulrike Ottinger, BRD 1979, 2.2., in the presence of Ulrike Ottinger) This stylized composition provides a sightseeing tour of Berlin, an exploration of the city's topography according to a particular route: The elegant traveller who arrives at Tegel Airport wants to indulge her passion - drinking - with one companion, the "Zoo drinker." A series of figures from the art world provide the commentary.

HANS IM GLÜCK – DREI VERSUCHE, DAS RAUCHEN AUFZUGEBEN (Lucky Jack – Three Attempts to Stop Smoking, Peter Liechti, Switzerland 2003, 9.2.) On three treks from Zurich, where he lives, to St Gallen, where he grew up, Peter Liechti tries to kick his nicotine habit. He is always alone and on foot, with only a camera and notebook for company. Liechti's experiment with himself not only leads to a conflict with his ego, but also with Switzerland, his homeland. A wonderfully open and funny travel film that always returns to the basic questions of life and death.
