With the audio film Fading by Alina Cyranek and Jan Frederik Vogt from 2014, the filmmaker recalls the last days of the war in Leipzig's Jahnallee 61 (later known as Capa-Haus ), where the American war photographer Robert Capa with his photo The Last Dead of the war of US soldier Raymond J. Bowman who fell there on April 18, 1945, later became famous.
Cyranek's first cinema documentary Ein Haufen Liebe (2016) was shown in art house cinemas nationwide. At the heart of the film are conversations between a generation of women between the ages of 70 and 90 who look back on their experiences and longings for great love.
