Timm Kröger : 2014
The Council of Birds
In 1929 music teacher Paul Leinert receives an unexpected letter from his old friend Otto Schiffmann, a young and talented composer who has moved away from Berlin after a failed marriage. The letter is an invitation for Paul to come and visit Otto in his forest cabin – and to become familiar with his new work, a long-awaited symphony. Taking along his wife Anna together with his colleague Willi, the three find Otto's cabin but their host is nowhere to be seen. As they go looking for him, Paul notices something odd about the song of the local birds. Timm Kröger's graduation film and feature debut premiered in competition at Venice International Film Critics' Week 2014, and was winner of the Best Director Award at Belgrade International Film Festival 2015.
