In the 12th and 13th centuries, a movement emerged in Europe that later came to be known as "women's mysticism" in history. Unmarried and widowed women found refuge in monastic-like communities such as the courts of the Beguines. Here, women could lead an active, self-determined, and freer life in small, protective communities. The intense contemplation and asceticism practiced in these places brought about profound mystical experiences.

Cinematography is dancing photography! Matthias Halibrand
Matthias Halibrand was born 1982 in Erfurt, German Democratic Republic. After two years of studying media systems at the Bauhaus University of Weimar he was accepted at the Filmacademy Vienna to study editing and cinematography. During his time there he edited three short and medium length films with the director Catalina Molina which led up to more than 80 festival appearances and a bunch of awards including the "German Human Rights Film Award 2010", a European Film Award Nomination and the win of the Austrian Film Award for best short. Also working as a self taught colorist, VFX supervisor and compositor led to a vast diversity of his filmography. As a DP, works with artist Tanja Widmann got shown at the Manifesta 8 2011 in Murcia, Spain, at the MuMoK Vienna, Secession Vienna, Grazer Kunstverein, Badener Kunstverein and Tranzitdisplay Prague. 2018 he was invited to the Berlinale Talents program, participating in both, the editing and the camera studio. 2019 the short "Der Hund Bellt (The Dog Is Barking)" by Stefan Polasek, Halibrand's cinematography, is successfully snatching up a few prices touring a bunch of significant festival in Germany and Austria including a nomination for Middle German Camera Award. Riding the wave of success, "Das Beste Orchester Der Welt (The Best Orchestra In The World)", again cinematography by Halibrand, won the Max Ophüls Preis for best short and is touring worldwide A-list festivals in 2020 & 2021 including a nomination for the renowned newcomer cinematography award "Michael Ballhaus Price". Halibrands first feature as a DP, "Chasing Paper Birds" by Canadian director Mariana Jukica is getting finished in 2020 and starts in cinemas in November 2021 throughout Germany and Austria. The first project he edited for director Klara von Veegh has won multiple awards including best picture on a multitude of festivals. The last years he has put an emphasis on shooting films and taking jobs where his crossover knowledge of Cinematography and storytelling intertwines with his self taught post production, VFX and SFX knowledge. Matthias has worked with directors like Barbara Albert, Karl Markovics, Tizza Covi, Rainer Frimmel, Nikolaus Geyrhalter and Sandra Wollner. He has also worked on big international productions, lately two still unreleased projects of Wes Anderson.
His bases are in Berlin, Vienna and Erfurt.

This is a tool I wrote for another student at Filmacademy Vienna. He had to convert thousands of JPEG-images he shot with a digital camera in three different exposure-steps to OpenEXR-images.
This is a tool written in AppleScript for optimizing the workflow of the postproduction process editing the movie "Inside America". It acts as a droplet and will delete any audio-track of one or multiple QuickTime-files dropped on it. I wrote this, because our clips were having an AUX-TC-audio track. After decoding this track to a real TC-track, we had to get rid of the audio, before importing to FinalCutPro. I will probably dedicate a whole page to the workflow in the near future. For now, it's just the tool for your time savings. BE AWARE, it will delete the audio-track. YOU WON'T GET IT BACK. USE WITH CAUTION.
