"Has a gift for both horseplay and foreplay..." Oscilloscope Labs has revealed an official trailer for strange indie film titled Piaffe, made by artist / filmmaker Ann Oren. Opening in US art house theaters this August. This originally premiered at the 2022 Locarno Film Festival last year, and it also played at many other fests including: San Sebastian, Calgary, Hamburg, London, Ghent, Cork, and Denver. Oscilloscope Labs invites you to discover Piaffe, the first feature from award winning visual artist and filmmaker Ann Oren. Sensual, tactile, and a carefully constructed exploration of sexual awakening with a keen awareness of the origins of cinema. When her sibling Zara suffers a nervous breakdown, the introvert Eva is forced to take on Zara's job as a Foley artist. Then, a horsetail starts growing out of the back of her body. Simone Bucio stars as Eva, with Sebastian Rudolph, Simon Jaikiriuma Paetau, Björn Melhus, & Lea Draeger.

Of all the locations one could possibly choose to stage modern relationship movies, cramped apartments surely rank as just about the least cinematic option. But that hasn’t stopped Swiss helmer Ramon Zürcher (“The Strange Little Cat”) from willingly embracing such boxy, where-to-place-the-camera confines yet again for his second feature, “The Girl and the Spider,” or from concocting clever ways to use such spaces to reveal the inner lives of his characters. Zürcher’s movies are like prisms, capturing the things people do when they think no one’s watching … and when they desperately wish they were.
His latest, co-directed with twin brother Silvan (a producer on “Cat” but a full-blown creative partner here), is all about the feelings that arise — more often implied rather than articulated in words — when Lisa (Liliane Amuat) abandons her roommates to rent her own flat. Amid all the commotion of the move, Mara (Henriette Confurius...

Woman’s Lake
Written and directed by Zoltan Paul
Germany, 2012
It’s quite a simple rule of thumb – people in glass houses shouldn’t have affairs. Set in the charmingly quaint hinterlands of Germany, this is exactly what happens to a pair of lesbian couples in Zoltan Paul’s Woman’s Lake, but as compelling as the premise is, the results are decidedly less sexy.
In the backwaters of northern Berlin, Rosa (Nele Rosetz), a professional fisherwoman, is going through a rough patch in her relationship with Kirsten (Agentur Velvet), a successful architect. At their lakeside bungalow, their contrasting sensibilities put a strain on their relationship; a strain made more taut with the arrival of Evi (Lea Draeger) and Olivia (Constanze Wächter), a young lesbian couple. As the two couples get acquainted, loyalties start to wane, eyes start to wander; and as the their relationships get closer, so to does the people in them.
