MONEY is selected for 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 MONEY.

Consciously using childish naivety the documentary MONEY establishes a connection between money and religious belief. Thereby mammon provides a provacative perspective on our financial jungle.
