Director's Works
In Your Eyes Nikolaus Kohler
Nikolaus Kohler (*1994) is a young director and editor from Munich. After various internships in the film industry, he completed his training as a film editor at the ARD.ZDF medienakademie in Nuremberg in 2017. During his training period Nikolaus had the opportunity to work with well-known German directors who inspired him to write his own stories and bring them to life. IN YOUR EYES is Nikolaus' first scenic short film production.
With his short film IN YOUR EYES Nikolaus wants to tell a single moment. A moment that may seem surreal, raises questions and provokes. The moment is calm - it is an observation that is not meant to be overloaded. It takes place and happens. The viewer is a silent participant, looking over their shoulders at the scenery and empathizing. Nikolaus plays with an intense soundscape and quiet images that are meant to immerse the viewer in a world of their own and unite them with the scenery. Deliberately, the story is meant to leave room for interpretation. The film is meant to be thought-provoking and to challenge the viewer to continue spinning and feeling the story with their own imagination.
