This short film is dedicated to all people who believe in peaceful expansion of our borders.

In the year 1957 the cold war expands to space. The Soviet-Union sends Sputnik as the first manmade object into earth-orbit. 

3 years later Yuri Gagarin enters space as the first man in space. The so called "Space Race" seems to be decided. 

But in 1961 President Kennedy promised to send American Astronauts to the Moon. 

The Apollo Project was born. A space ship had to be built that is strong enough to escape earth's gravitation, land on the moon and bring the crew safely back to earth.

Motion Designer Christian worked with his brother and Composer Wolfgang for 18 months on this shortfilm. 

The foundation were thousands original NASA photographies, taken from the Astronauts during the Apollo Missions, which were released in September 2015. It is an animated collage using different techniques to bring the stills to life.

2min #unicef clip - #Refugees: The Shared Story of Harry and Ahmed

This 2 minute clip presents the stories of Ahmed, 12, from Damascus in Syria, and Harry, 92, from Berlin, Germany. During the film, the two tell their individual stories of being forced to flee their homes and their harrowing journeys in search of safety. Despite being separated by over 70 years, the two stories contain many similarities, and the film interposes footage of Syrian refugees with historical footage from World War II.
