„Mammon“ is selected for Documentary Campus Masterschool
Director Philipp Enders is invited with our documentary film project „Mammon" to the Documentary Campus Masterschool.
Together we will participate in four intensive workshops in different European cities. With the aid of international experts this programme will enhance the international potential of „Mammon".
Consciously using childish naivety the documentary "Mammon" establishes a connection between money and religious belief. Thereby mammon provides a provacative perspective on our financial jungle.
