Short, gruesome, disturbing, and oddly metaphysical, OMNIPOTENT is a mechanical and rigorous exploration of how - exactly - down makes its way from geese to pillows and jackets.

From a statement by the director:
"When the shooting began we were going to make a portrait of the universe. We were looking for a metaphor for the soul and came upon feathers - first part of the body, then later able to fly. So we started to follow the feather, from the goose's body to man's pillow..."

Gulseli-Bille Baur was born in Cologne in 1980. She studied film directing in the Konrad Wolf school for film and television in Potsdam. OMNIPOTENT has screened in festivals across Europe, as well as in Buenos Aires' Festival of Film Schools.
