In military terminology, inner lines are escape routes which are located near opposing lines. They provide a way of passing undetected and fleeing. Around Mount Ararat, in Turkey and Armenia, messengers and their carrier pigeons travel along these parallel paths to meet up with communities in the grip of war. During their wanderings, they encounter Yezidis who have fled from the atrocities committed by Daesh and found refuge in transit camps in Turkey. They stand beside the last living survivors of the Armenian genocide. They travel around war-torn Nagorno-Karabakh, to accompany and support the bereaved families there.

Industrian Pilz examines the culture of industrialization through the lens of mycology - the botanical study of fungi. Splicing original investigative footage shot in a German industrial zone with archival film clips, scenes of cultural globalization from popular media, and samplings from the music and musings of pioneering myco-aesthete, John Cage, the film recombines real-time expressions of the zone's recent history to make visible a broader and more gradual process. As capitalism's claims to absolute naturalness gain rhetorical momentum, the mycological lens allows models of 'the natural' both as the agent-less conversion of decaying matter and as a parasitic, potentially toxic, and deeply site specific process - one whose odd position in the economy of matter does not allow easy romantic identifications. Through a hybrid structure incorporating documentary, narrative and "industrial video" formats, the film explores the flotsam and jetsam drifting in the wake of West Germany's absorption of a decaying East German state.
