Private Project

A DOOR...

After escaping from a party, Leon embarks on a nighttime walk that leads him into a surreal world. Amid bizarre theater backdrops and green fog, he is confronted with his past—and with his own transience. The deeper he sinks into this nostalgia, the clearer it becomes: to move forward, he must let go and leave.

Director Statement

Mit "TÜR..." hatte Lust auf etwas buntes und verrücktes, weg von der Konvention – ein Film, der im besten Fall ein wenig anders ist, und hoffentlich trotzdem Spaß macht. Ich wollte theatrale Elemente in einen skurrilen Film verweben und damit ausprobieren, wie viel sich ein Film erlauben darf, ohne, dass das Publikum abschaltet.

With “TÜR...” I wanted to do something colorful and crazy, something that broke with convention—a film that hopefully would be a little different, but still enjoyable. I wanted to weave theatrical elements into a bizarre film to see how much this medium can get away with without the audience tuning out.
