Berlins Beste 2012: Anspruchvollstes Kino
Richtiges, pures Arthouse – für Mainstream-Mätzchen ist im Kreuzberger fsk am Oranienplatz kein Platz. Das Namenskürzel steht übri­gens für Flugzeugsesselkino, die ers­te Bestuhlung stamm­te von aus­ge­mus­ter­ten Lufthansa-Maschinen. Wer also ech­te Entdeckungen machen möch­te, ist hier rich­tig, mit Filmen aus aller Welt, meist in der Originalfassung mit Untertiteln. Und die dür­fen ger­ne mal ele­gisch oder sper­rig sein, damit genug Raum für die Assoziationen des Zuschauers bleibt. (MS)

Die drei bes­ten Berliner Kinos sind …?
Das FSK am Oranienplatz. Da gehe ich zu Fuß hin und schaue an, was gera­de läuft. Das ist das Gegenteil von DVD. Ich tref­fe kei­ne Kaufentscheidung, ich ent­de­cke etwas. (…)
(Christian Petzold im Tagesspiegel Interview 2014)

[Credits] [Tickets & Termine] [Trailer]

Ángela, a deaf woman, and Héctor, her hea­ring part­ner, are expec­ting a child. They are exci­ted about the pregnan­cy, alt­hough they do not yet know whe­ther the baby will be deaf or hea­ring. Despite both clai­ming they can hand­le wha­te­ver comes, their under­ly­ing con­cerns are evi­dent. After a com­pli­ca­ted and emo­tio­nal­ly inten­se labour, Ángela gives birth to their daugh­ter, but the pair will have to wait a cou­ple of months to learn if the baby is hea­ring or not. During this time, Héctor strug­gles to ful­ly grasp the chal­lenges Ángela is facing, while she must come to terms with rai­sing a daugh­ter who may not share her expe­ri­ence of the world. This jour­ney forces both of them to ques­ti­on their roles as part­ners and par­ents, as Ángela grapp­les with her iden­ti­ty in a socie­ty that does not ful­ly accept or under­stand her.

Franz K.

A film by Agnieszka Holland. Starts October 23th at the fsk. In German and Czech with German subtitles.

[Credits] [Tickets & Termine] [Trailer]

There are seve­ral films about Kafka and adapt­a­ti­ons of his works, moun­ta­ins of Kafka bio­gra­phies and other secon­da­ry lite­ra­tu­re, humo­rous­ly illus­tra­ted in ‘Franz K.’ during one of the excur­si­ons into the bizar­re pre­sent. Agnieszka Holland and aut­hor Marek Epstein have cho­sen a very lively approach for their film ver­si­on, which appears like a coll­ec­tion of short sto­ries. The film repea­ted­ly jumps through time, show­ing excerp­ts and frag­ments of what is known about the life of the high­ly sen­si­ti­ve aut­hor. With a gre­at wil­ling­ness to expe­ri­ment, it allows us to par­ta­ke in his pri­va­te and pro­fes­sio­nal life and visual­ly inter­prets excerp­ts from his work wit­hout, howe­ver, ove­ru­sing ‘Kafkaesque’ imagery. It tells of fami­ly, fri­end­ship, pres­su­re and fear, inner and outer cons­traints, often in a playful man­ner, but also with appro­pria­te serious­ness, as in its tre­at­ment of the incre­asing­ly threa­tening situa­ti­on of Jews in Europe.

Kein Land für Niemand – Abschottung eines Einwanderungslandes

A film by Max Ahrens & Maik Lüdemann

[Credits] [Tickets & Termine] [Trailer]

When, at the begin­ning of 2025, a moti­on on migra­ti­on poli­cy is pas­sed in the Bundestag with the sup­port of the AfD, a par­ty clas­si­fied as right-wing extre­mist, the poli­ti­cal land­scape is shaken and a nati­on­wi­de wave of pro­tests is trig­ge­red. Nevertheless, the so-cal­led ‘migra­ti­on deba­te’ is in full swing and is incre­asing­ly domi­na­ted by right-wing posi­ti­ons that stir up fears and end­an­ger not only human lives at Europe’s exter­nal bor­ders. KEIN LAND FÜR NIEMAND (No Country for Anyone) sets out to inves­ti­ga­te the cau­ses of this development.

The film crew accom­pa­nies a civi­li­an res­cue mis­si­on in the Mediterranean, pro­vi­des insight into the tigh­tening of European asyl­um law, lets refu­gees descri­be their per­spec­ti­ves and, in dia­lo­gue with acti­vists, sci­en­tists and publi­cists, ana­ly­ses the dyna­mics behind the shift to the right.

A House of Dynamite

A film by Kathryn Bigelow. In English with German subtitles.

[Credits] [Tickets & Termine] [Trailer]

When a sin­gle, unat­tri­bu­ted mis­sile is laun­ched at the United States, a race beg­ins to deter­mi­ne who is respon­si­ble and how to respond.

Director’s Statement
I grew up in an era when hiding under your school desk was con­side­red the go-to pro­to­col for sur­vi­ving an ato­mic bomb. It seems absurd now — and it was — but at the time, the thre­at felt so imme­dia­te that such mea­su­res were taken serious­ly. Today, the dan­ger has only escala­ted. Multiple nati­ons pos­sess enough nuclear wea­pons to end civi­li­sa­ti­on within minu­tes. And yet, there’s a kind of coll­ec­ti­ve numb­ness — a quiet nor­ma­li­sa­ti­on of the unthinkable. How can we call this “defen­se” when the ine­vi­ta­ble out­co­me is total des­truc­tion?
I wan­ted to make a film that con­fronts this para­dox — to explo­re the mad­ness of a world that lives under the con­stant shadow of anni­hi­la­ti­on, yet rare­ly speaks of it.

Hysteria

Hysteria

A film by Mehmet Akif Büyükatalay. Starts November 6th at the fsk. In German, English, Turkish, Kurdish, Arabic with German subtitles.

[Credits] [Tickets & Termine] [Trailer]

When a bur­ned Quran is found on a film set, the shoot takes a dark turn and the crew are thrown into turm­oil. Caught in the cross­fi­re, an intern, Elif, is drawn into a dan­ge­rous game of secrets, accu­sa­ti­ons and lies. Mehmet Akif Büyükatalay’s ambi­guous, pro­vo­ca­ti­ve con­spi­ra­cy thril­ler plays with the film-within-a-film motif and is rich in unex­pec­ted twists. A pier­cing reflec­tion on the power of images and the dyna­mics of per­cep­ti­on, pro­jec­tion and socie­tal hysteria.

Briefe aus der Wilcza – Listy z Wilczej

Briefe aus der Wilcza – Listy z Wilczej

A film by Arjun Talwar. In Polish with German and English subtitles.

[Credits] [Tickets & Termine] [Trailer]

A street in cen­tral Warsaw is the focus of this wit­ty and per­so­nal por­trait of Poland. Filmmaker Arjun Talwar immi­gra­ted to the coun­try a deca­de ago but still strug­gles to fit in. Ulica Wilcza, the street whe­re he lives, has not real­ly hel­ped mat­ters. In an attempt to acce­le­ra­te his inte­gra­ti­on, he beg­ins film­ing his neigh­bours, sound­ing out his rela­ti­onships with them and see­king ways to over­co­me his own fee­lings of ali­en­ati­on. With the help of his fri­end Mo, ano­ther immi­grant-tur­ned-film­ma­ker, Arjun unco­vers the hid­den secrets of the street, reve­al­ing a host of char­ming inha­bi­tants. He finds other peo­p­le like hims­elf who are living bet­ween the past and pre­sent, bet­ween an ima­gi­ned home­land and the real one. The street con­nects them all like an invi­si­ble thread, offe­ring solace in the melan­cho­ly of ever­y­day life. Along this kilo­met­re-long stretch, a pic­tu­re of modern Europe emer­ges, expo­sing a kalei­do­scope of con­tra­dic­tions and anxie­ties as a for­eign film­ma­ker holds up a mir­ror to a coun­try that is often per­cei­ved as homo­ge­neous, unwel­co­ming and poli­ti­cal­ly right-wing.
