In den Hügeln von Santa Monica liegt das ‚Von Spatz Rehab Center‘. Eine Nervenklinik für Künstler und Angestellte des Showgeschäfts für deren Beruhigung der Nerven eine Schar von Psychiatern, Schwestern und Pflegern zur Verfügung stehen.

Während der zahlreichen Nachmittagsaktivitäten wie z.B. Maltherapie, Pinguindienst und Kneten sinniert Walt über sein Leben als Künstler. Wie konnte der Vater einer Maus seinen Verstand verlieren?

STRANNIK gives an insight into the everyday life of a homeless 46-year-old martial artist in Russia – a country where millions of people live on the street. Four days of conversations about his dreams, ideas and memories became this documentary short-comic.
In fall 2015 the author Anna Rakhmanko and the illustrator Mikkel Sommer heard about Vyaches-lav, better known as Ali Baba in the ring, for the first time. A few weeks later they met in a café in Moscow where Vyacheslav told them about his life and how it is when all you own fits into a plastic bag. A story about a life that is framed by the stairways of suburban apartment buildings, the noisy fast-food restaurants, the cheap movie theaters, the warm metro, and the endless fights. The three of them spent a few intense days together in Moscow before travelling to a closed off military town in the south of Russia where Ali Baba had his next fight.

Are you having a bad day? Well, Ob’s is probably worse. The round-headed and very unfortunate hero of Nick Edwards’ comic IT HAD TO BE YOU, can hardly set a foot outside his door without stumbling into car crashes or being ridiculed by his unsympathetic companion Eck. Ob and his friends live in a fantastic yet strangely familiar city that is scattered over an island landscape. Everything is round, squishy and cute, from the houses to the cars and sea animals. But do not be fooled by appearances. Unlike much of Edwards’s previous work, IT HAD TO BE YOU is not suitable for children. Beneath its soft surface lies a dark and witty satire of modern life. Yes, technology may have advanced, leading to such curious devices as toilets with integrated stool analysis computers. But the characters of Ob’s world have about as much empathy for one another as a bulldozer for an overturned tree. It’s dark comedy at its best.
