Whoever gets involved with Kuby’s films, changes his life. Together they create a consciousness that opens up a completely new quality of life for the viewer. Kuby’s works are carried by strong emotions, opulent images and sometimes very humorous reflections on new dimensions of human existence. Travel with him into countries and situations that are far away from everything we are used to. Watch his films and enjoy reading his books several times with ever new sympathy. Their topicality and their moving, profound effect are of lasting value.
