Why are there more dystopias than utopias in Sci-Fi an Fantasy films? About this as well as about the enduring legacy of film classic Metropolis or the “women in space”-trope and many other interesting and fun Sci-Fi facts I talked with Dr. Kristina Jaspers of the Stiftung Deutsche Kinemathek in this episode. It was a pleasure - Enjoy!

One shouldn’t have favorites – but I have to admit thanks to our interview I’m a little bit of a Mala-Emde-Stan. The talented actress talked about acting as a process, "play" being the most important part and why prep is both horrible, but also very important. And lest I forget: Sheep are also a big part of our wonderful and fun conversation. It was a pleasure - Enjoy!

“What does it mean to be a human?” For actress Maren Eggert this question is not only the centre of her film I'M YOUR MAN, but of acting in general. She shared with us her decision-making process for her projects, the joy of learning something new for a project and that she would love to do an action or historical film. It was a pleasure - Enjoy!

“You discover a film while you’re making it” might be my new favorite quote about movies. A big thank you to cinematographer Markus Förderer for talking to us about the making of dystopian scifi feature HELL, what draws him to the genre and why throwing out the pre-planning is sometimes the boldest move you can make in film making. It was a pleasure - Enjoy!
