Riddle of the Bones: Gender Revolution
A gebrueder beetz filmproduction
Men hunt, women gather—researchers uncover archaeological errors and turn the traditional gender roles upside down. At the turn of the century, archaeologists discovered a tomb with swords, horses, bows and arrows in the Viking city of Birka. No one doubted the identity of this Viking: it was a warrior. But researchers from Stockholm University recently examined the bones using DNA analysis. The result: the grave belongs to a woman ... In the Chinese province of Henan, archaeologists excavate the remains of settlements and graves. Through isotope analysis, lifestyle and eating habits of the former settlers can be reconstructed. Before the agricultural revolution, the start of agriculture and animal husbandry, there was no social difference between men and women. In Europe, the remains of prehistoric cultures indicate that there were no gender hierarchies. The Megalithic Temples of Malta house statues of women, they are cult and fertility figures. Or the cave paintings in Altamira and Chauvet with hunting scenes from the Stone Age—many of them were painted by women.

Iceland’s Artists and Sagas
A Film by Helga Brekkan
Frosty glaciers and hot springs, dark winter days and bright summer nights – Iceland is a country of the extremes. Not only the nature in Iceland is astonishing: ancient sagas, crime stories, eccentric video art and enigmatic music are a testimonial for the country’s unique art scene. The small island in the Atlantic Ocean is not just a geological hotspot, but also a creative one.
Art’s Home is my Kassel
A documentary by Katrin Heinz
Funded by Film- und Medienstiftung NRW & DFFF
„Art’s Home is my Kassel“ – shows how different people handle the sudden invasion of contemporary art and in the middle sized german town Kassel – called Documenta.
From the preparations in the beginning of 2012, through the whole “Museum of 100 days” and the wrap of dOCUMENTA(13) the film follows different protagonists and their partly very practical and comprehensive approach to the works and the art circus.
The ways how people with or without an art expertise approach and appreciate the inspirations gives a very unique insight on the meanings of art and culture.

"Der Blick der Regisseurinnen ist dominiert von liebevoller, nachsichtiger Ironie, gepaart mit kurz aufscheinendem Sarkasmus. Offenbar kann man gar nicht anders auf dieses Phänomen blicken. Die Kasselaner selbst nehmen die Documenta hin. Sie wiessen, dass sie der Stadt Wohlstand schenkt. (...) Letztlich verbindet der Film ein nur leicht lokalpatriotisch eingefärbtes, aber sehr witziges Porträt der nordhessischen Provinzmetropole mit dem der Kunstwelt."

Süddeutsche Zeitung, 10. Juli 2014
"Dass dieses Projekt Katrin und Susanne Heinz eine Herzensangelegenheit war, merkt man in jeder Minute ihrer wilden Doku über den Kasseler documenta-Zirkus. Die größte Stärke dieses lustigen Films ist es, dass die Regisseurinnen neben den Kunstschaffenden in ihrer Festival-Isolation auch den eher desinteressierten Kasselern und ihren Klagen über die Veranstaltung Gehör schenken. Wodurch die Schwestern Zweckmäßigkeit und Wesen der documenta immer schön widersprüchlich verhandeln."

Kölner Stadtanzeiger, 10. Juli 2014
"Der Tonfall der unterhaltsamen Dokumentation ist launig, liebenswürdig und nicht ohne Humor. Es werden kluge Fragen Aufgeworfen, und die Atmosphäre einer Stadt im Ausnahmezustand wird eingefangen."
