Monolithic power plants; billowing columns of smoke; the backdrop of a red sun. Sirens is an experimental short documentary that captures Germany's coal-fired power plants in their final years of generating energy. Shot entirely from helicopters, the film takes us on a journey through industrial wastelands, thus recalling the passage of Ulysses' boat through the Sirens' strait. An odyssey through the dystopian industrial world that has left a permanent mark on earth's ecosphere.

The film was awarded at the Toronto Film Festival 2022, NaturVision Film Festival 2023, Drama Short Film Festival 2023, Split International New Film Festival 2022 and Landshut Short Film Festival 2023.
