When wandering through rural Bangladesh with a camera in your hand the sentence „Bideshi…chobi, chobi…! – Stranger! Take a photo of me!” will soon be heard all around. An unbelievably delighted eagerness to be photographed is definitely there. When Kurt Hoerbst met and fell for the village Rudrapur and its dwellers in 2005 the idea for the project BIDESHI Photostudio was founded. People in Rudrapur live simple, agriculture and craftsmanship dominate everyday life. Family itself as the highest rated value in society, is nevertheless rarely preserved in a photograph as it would be in more western parts of the world… Technology and the arts simply are too far away or not affordable- up until… The project BIDESHI Photostudio, which started off in December 2008 after intense preparations and diligent planning by Austrian Kurt Hoerbst, first and foremost provided a welcome opportunity to earn money for the men of Rudrapur. The experienced bamboo and clay specialists constructed a simple but impressive building within a month’s work – by hand! The hut and the entire project were organised in cooperation with Dipshikha, a well-established organisation in Rudrapur. As a close neighbour to the Meti-School, which is well-renowned through various prizes in architecture, the daylight studio offered locals to be photographed professionally from the beginning of February 2009. A glass roof and light Sari-fabrics on the side walls created a soft ambience in combination with the clay ground and back wall. While project assistant Alexandra Grill took digital photos of the families, Kurt Hoerbst photographed the villagers analogue in a large format system. Single portraits in front of the even clay background of course had to be taken as well! The digital data was edited, printed and laminated the same and passed on to the curious models the next day. Surprised by their image (and often amused) they usually welcomed their photographs with great fascination.

An old man rushes through the corridors of his nightmare, the death on his back. A young woman is taken to a magnificent residence, a place full of repressed memories. Now they get together for their last confrontation. Despite of all traumata of the past he is going to ask her to accompany him in his last hours. Will she stay? Exodos is the last encounter in an uneven relationship between a young woman and an old man. The final confrontation in a long-lasting game of dependence, mastery, sex, humiliation and love. A desperate struggle for approval and appreciation. At the end the inability to forget or even forgive the past incidents leaves two solitary souls behind. Sancho Pansa Film presents Manuel Molzer´s debut feature Exodos. An oppressive intimate play in film studio aesthetics accompanied by an orchastral score. Stefanie Frischeis and Ludwig Kaschke make the uneven couple and their changeful relationship come to live. The compositions of Roman Richter and Boris Porsch emphasize the dreamlike pictures of Gregory Glaser.

A film about how the local population of Tanzania has been evicted to make way for the creation of the world’s most famous nature reserves. Set in the famous Serengeti and the Ngorongoro crater, the film explores how the parks came to be and how western perceptions about nature radically altered both the East African landscape and society. The film focuses on the people who "shouldn't be there", not only because their voices are rarely heard but also because they are still being antagonised and excluded, while the tourist industry is rapidly depleting the area's natural resources.
