Employing collaboration and a shared vision, Ramon and Silvan Zürcher create meticulously observed, drolly absurd dramas that transform domestic spaces into surreal landscapes. Ramon describes their approach as a “disaster film as psychological chamber play,” excavating emotional complexity from ordinary interactions. Join us as we explore their shared fascination with finding profound mystery within mundane spaces, creating cinema that feels both hyperreal and dreamlike.
