25FPS interview with Jana Debus on Gregor Alexis

I’m back! After short hiatus due to some private reasons, I’m ready to blog in more then three lines, dear readers. Here we have a short video interview with film maker and photographer Jana Debus made in the production of 25FPS  International Festival for Experimental Film and Video.
