Maren Kea-Freese's short film ZOE is about an elevator girl in Berlin's TV Tower on Alexanderplatz. It shows the daily life of a woman trying to find herself in a city that is itself in transition. ZOE was shot in 1992, not long after the reunification of Berlin. The poetic 16mm black and white imagery shows Eastern districts such as Mitte and Prenzlauer Berg before many buildings there were demolished or remodeled.

The short film KOJOTENWEG 13 by Maren-Kea Freese is an intense two-person drama about a dysfunctional love relationship featuring cult actor and musician Lars Rudolph ("Run Lola Run").

Shot under the tutelage of Hungarian director Béla Tarr at the prestigous German Film and Television Academy, KOJOTENWEWG 13 explores the depths of  co-dependency and self-destruction of a Berlin couple through Freese's masterful direction of her actors, a claustrophobic setting, and real time storytelling.

The analogue source material has signs of wear and tear that hopefully will not impede the enjoyment of the film.
