sYnc
Aggression, violence, manipulation and deception are the instruments of power and oppression. Whoever plays them sets the rules, determines life and death. And those who hold the strings in their hands, need others who willingly walk in step to spin a dense web from which no one can escape. But in the end, it is only a matter of time before a system consisting of control, intimidation and harshness destroys itself.

I am an independent filmmaker, videographer and visual artist from Bonn, Germany. In my experimental short films I increasingly focus on political and social issues, often combining 3D and 2D animation.
The idea for sYnc was already born at the end of 2021, when Russian troops approached the borders of Ukraine and took up positions. Even then, it was clear where this was headed. And on February 24, 2022, what many feared came to pass. Russia's war of aggression on Ukraine changed the order and stability of Europe. An imperialist dictator ruthlessly invading his neighboring country showed the whole world that no one can count on times of peace. But Russia is not alone in this. It is this kind of dictators who want to use military force to achieve their goals, who arbitrarily replace the principle of law with the principle of power. To do this, they need others to support them economically, militarily and politically, and others to carry out their orders.
This film is my personal statement and also hope that such unscrupulous action cannot pass the aggressors by without leaving a trace, but will one day be turned against themselves.
