Johan Pille was born in Brecht, Flanders, in 1963. He studied at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp from 1982 to 1986, travelled a lot all over Europe, and he has been working in Berlin since 1996. His work is all about free painting, all styles, all topics, playfully connecting all layers of life. Pille's skillful paintings are opening up to artistic worlds between figuration and abstraction. He plays with fluid colors, bright and vibrant, often using rhythmic patterns and characters. Surreal worlds intertwine with realistic works, linking both universes and playing with really everything: colors, shapes, geometry, and abstraction. His paintings come across as originating from the subconscious, appearing as if they were thrown into his own colorful, playful world. We can all recognize ourselves in it, connecting every viewer with Johan Pille's inner world. See here. PW: NoS?!

This building on the outskirts of Berlin has a long history. In 1908, it started as the Imperial Health Office. During the Nazi era, it became the "Rassenhygienische und Bevölkerungsbiologische Forschungsstelle" (Research Centre for Racial Hygiene and Population Biology). At this institute, anthropological research was carried out to prove the inferiority of Sinti and Roma. This research became the basis for mass forced sterilisations and finally the mass murder of Sinti and Roma throughout the Reich. Today, a new extension is to be added to the main building. The film guides us through the main building, a 'sleeping beauty'; commissioned by BBR.

Ein Gebäude in einem Randbezirk Berlins mit langer Geschichte, eröffnet als kaiserliches Gesundheitsamt. Während der NS-Zeit war hier die "Rassenhygienische und Bevölkerungsbiologische Forschungsstelle" untergebracht. An diesem Institut wurden anthropologische Forschungen durchgeführt, um die Minderwertigkeit von Sinti und Roma zu belegen. Diese Forschungen wurden zur Grundlage für massenhafte Zwangssterilisierungen und schließlich die Ermordung dieser Bevölkerungsgruppe. Nach wechselvoller Geschichte soll nun ein neuer Anbau an das große Hauptgebäude erfolgen. Der Film führt durch das Hauptgebäude, einer 'schlafenden Schönheit'. Im Auftrag des BBR.

Our society is aging rapidly, and the topic of aging in dignity is becoming increasingly important. Which alternatives are there to the currently much discussed care model in Germany? How and under what circumstances do we want to age? The feature-length documentary "Work makes life sweet, laziness strengthens the limbs" by Claudia Funk shows in an exciting and humorous way how in Romanian Transylvania answers to these questions are found with a completely different model of living together. This alternative model of a shared life in old age is the focus of the film.

Unsere heutige Gesellschaft altert rasch, das Thema “Altern in Würde“ wird immer wichtiger. Welche Alternativen gibt es zum in Deutschland aktuell viel diskutierten Pflegemodell? Wie und unter welchen Umständen wollen wir selbst altern? Der abendfüllende Dokumentarfilm “Arbeit macht das Leben süß, Faulheit stärkt die Glieder” von Claudia Funk zeigt auf spannende und humorvolle Weise, wie im rumänischen Siebenbürgen auf diese Fragen mit einem ganz anderen Modell des Zusammenlebens Antworten gefunden werden. Dieses alternative Modell eines gemeinsamen Lebens im Alter steht im Mittelpunkt des Films.

These children are now in their retirement age, and many of them are now dealing with their fate for the first time. What makes fatherlessness with a human being?
