Yabanci

Yabanci [Stranger] by Simeon Herrmann and Michael Colella is a film about the fear of strangers that was awarded the Katholische Medienjugendpreis 2014 [Catholic Youth Media Award 2014]. The short film uses little dialogue, but makes the vaguely prejudiced mental state of a single father, whose worries about his daughter’s foreign boyfriend lead him to become a threat himself, seen and felt. 

A significant contribution to this is the suggestive sound layer, which was created by Moritz Laux (film score) and Andreas Huck (sound design) as their final project in the specialisation module Media Composition 2.
