History of success of "Jesus loves you"
The "Jesus Loves You" success story began in February 2008, when this documentary, which observes missionaries during the World Cup 2006 in Germany, had its premiere at the 58th Berlinale in the section “Perspektive Deutsches Kino”.
The first international screening of our film was held at the Canadian film festival Hot Docs in Toronto.
In the beginning of June “Jesus Loves You” was shown at the 48th Krakow Film Festival. The section was “German Documentaries” and the film had Polish subtitles for this event.
Its British premiere was at the Sheffield Doc/Fest in November. These are only a few highlights in the career of "Jesus Loves You" at international film festivals. We were delighted with the stimulating discussion with the audience.
The Austrian cinema premiere (Top Kino, Vienna) took place in the summer of 08, and the film can also be seen in German movie theatres beginning in January 2009.
The Cultural Commissioner of the Evangelical Church in Germany, Petra Bahr, wrote the following in the Rheinischen Merkur after the film's opening:
The film crew takes the subject as seriously as the persons who are being documented. If the public is left somewhat irritated at the end, then only because in spite of the humor which the film shows, the religious style, which goes the whole nine yards, does not trivialize, but also does not mock […] We wish this film a large number of viewers who take time for discussion afterward.

Disgustingly Healthy - Leeches and Maggots a finalist for the Dragon China Award.
Our two part documentary about medical treatment with leeches and maggots is shown in Athens on May 23rd, 2009 as part of the International Science Film Festival (ISFFA). The competition will take place in October.
Furthermore Disgustingly Healthy received the Ekotop Film Prize within the context of the International Film Festival Bratislava 2007 and made it to the finals of the Dragon China Award 2009.
It shows the suspenseful ascent, the dramatic fall and the surprising renaissance of the bloodsucker and the maggot in Western medicine, and the ambivalent relationship that we humans have to this little "monster".
A relationship between attraction and disgust.
The films were aired on ARTE and ARD-Digital.
