Wohin der Wind uns trägt

A film by Amel Guellaty. Starts April 16th at the fsk. In Arabic and French with German subtitles.

[Credits] [Tickets & Termine] [Trailer]

Alyssa, a rebel­lious 19-year-old girl, and her fri­end Mehdi, an intro­ver­ted 23-year-old man, use their ima­gi­na­ti­on to escape their unpro­mi­sing rea­li­ty. When they dis­co­ver a con­test in the south of Tunisia that may allow them to flee, they under­ta­ke a road trip regard­less of the obs­ta­cles in their way.

Director Amel Guellaty offers us a win­dow into a side of Tunisia we have rare­ly seen, imbuing the world of her char­ming debut fea­ture with sur­re­al visu­al flou­ris­hes that trans­form and brigh­ten ever­y­day moments. Eya Bellagha and Slim Baccar have unde­niable che­mis­try as Alyssa and Mehdi, orga­ni­cal­ly cap­tu­ring the cross­fi­re ban­ter of their fri­end­ship as well as their shared strugg­le to break free from the respon­si­bi­li­ties and rest­ric­tions that hold them back from pur­suing their dreams. Their unex­pec­ted­ly chao­tic jour­ney to Djerba is unders­cored by a thoughtful come­dic touch and a hyp­no­tic indie sound­track from the region.

With crea­ti­vi­ty, warmth, and spi­rit, Where the Wind Comes From honors Tunisian youth while reco­gni­zing the uncer­tain road that lies ahead of them.

  • A Missing Part

    A Missing Part

    A film by Guillaume Senez. In French with German subtitles.

    [Credits] [Tickets & Termine] [Trailer]

    A father’s despe­ra­te quest to reu­ni­te with his daugh­ter beco­mes the source of rising ten­si­on and heart-ren­ding poignan­cy in this sen­si­tively ren­de­red third fea­ture by Belgian film­ma­ker Guillaume Senez.
    Reuniting with direc­tor Guillaume Senez after their very suc­cessful col­la­bo­ra­ti­on on 2018’s Our Struggles, Romain Duris gives a won­derful­ly lived-in per­for­mance as Jay, a French man now living in Tokyo and making a living as a dri­ver for a pri­va­te car ser­vice. Through Jay’s encoun­ters with Jessica (Judith Chemla), ano­ther French expat, and his con­ver­sa­ti­ons with others sym­pa­the­tic to his plight, Senez’s film gra­du­al­ly reve­als the cir­cum­s­tances that have kept him in the coun­try. Like others who share his plight, Jay is sub­ject to a legal sys­tem that pro­vi­des few rights to for­eign par­ents in cus­t­ody con­flicts. As a result of Japan’s “clean break” approach to fami­ly law, a parent may be unable to even cont­act their child after a divorce. After nine pain­ful years, Jay is on the ver­ge of giving up on the pos­si­bi­li­ty he might ever see his daugh­ter Lily again. But then one mor­ning, a new pas­sen­ger in his car takes his sto­ry in ano­ther direction.By groun­ding the nar­ra­ti­ve in small details and never resort­ing to easy sen­ti­men­ta­li­ty, even in its most char­ged moments, Senez imbues his film with gre­at authen­ti­ci­ty and huma­ni­ty. Likewise, the director’s empha­sis on the quo­ti­di­an helps it avo­id exo­ti­ci­zing Jay’s expe­ri­ence or per­spec­ti­ve as an out­si­der in Japan. Through the­se quiet, careful methods, Senez has craf­ted an unu­sual­ly thoughtful fami­ly sto­ry that con­ta­ins a rare wealth of fee­ling. JASON ANDERSON | TIFF

  • On the border

    On the border

    A film by Igor Hauzenberger & Gabriela Schild. 

    [Credits] [Tickets & Termine] [Trailer]

    The desert city of Agadez in Niger has been a hub of trade rou­tes sin­ce time imme­mo­ri­al. The local Tuareg popu­la­ti­on always ear­ned a good living by trans­port­ing goods and peo­p­le across the Sahara. But Agadez is also a place whe­re migrants pass through on their way to Europe.

    Niger has been in direct talks with the European Union about this sin­ce 2012. The result is a law that cri­mi­na­li­zes ille­gal migra­ti­on and has made Agadez a High Risk Area, with cata­stro­phic con­se­quen­ces for the local eco­no­my. The ban on trans­port led to unem­ploy­ment, hig­her crime and a drug epidemic.

    In On the Border, three resi­dents of Agadez talk about the decli­ne of their city. Salesman Ahmed Dizzi looks back with nost­al­gia to a time when lar­ge num­bers of European tou­rists used to visit the his­to­ric city and spend a lot of money. Radio repor­ter Tilla Amadou ques­ti­ons the effec­ti­ve­ness of European trai­ning pro­grams for bor­der guards. And for­mer mayor Rhissa Feltou argues that the new bor­der con­trols are a thre­at to the tra­di­tio­nal noma­dic exis­tence of the Tuareg.

  • Blue Moon

    Blue Moon

    A film by Richard Linklater. In English with German subtitles.

    [Credits] [Tickets & Termine] [Trailer]

    “You know how in mar­ria­ge they say ‘for bet­ter or for worse’? I think, in terms of my life, I have ente­red the ‘for worse’ part, and it hap­pen­ed so quiet­ly I didn’t even reco­gni­ze it.”
    Richard Linklater’s Blue Moon tells the sto­ry of the legen­da­ry lyri­cist Lorenz Hart bra­ve­ly facing the future as his pro­fes­sio­nal and pri­va­te life unra­vel during the ope­ning night par­ty for his for­mer part­ner Richard Rodgers’ hit show, “Oklahoma!”. In 100 minu­tes, the film uns­pools in real-time the events in Sardi’s bar on the evening of March 31, 1943. It is a medi­ta­ti­on on fri­end­ship, art and love, fea­turing a rich tapestry of wri­ters, actors, musi­ci­ans, fri­ends and pro­té­gés – a para­de of the famous and the soon-to-be-famous. By the time this night is over, Hart will have con­fron­ted both a world irre­vo­ca­bly chan­ged by the war, and the see­ming impos­si­bi­li­ty of love.
    With powerful per­for­man­ces from Ethan Hawke as Lorenz Hart, Andrew Scott as Richard Rodgers, Margaret Qualley as Hart’s pro­té­gé Elizabeth and Bobby Cannavale as Hart’s bar­ten­der, bud­dy and con­fidan­te, the film per­fect­ly cap­tures, with Linklater’s deft, comic touch, a sin­gu­lar, asto­nis­hing moment in time.

    Inmitten von rie­si­gen Beton-Wohnblöcken hat sich die 67-jäh­ri­ge Natalia ein grü­nes Refugium geschaf­fen. Der etwas strup­pi­ge, gelieb­te und gepfleg­te Garten ist nicht nur Nutzfläche, son­dern auch Rückzugsgebiet, Energietankstelle und Ort der Begegnung. Aber auch in Kyiw wird jedes freie Fleckchen bebaut und die Bauunternehmer haben die­ses Filetstück schon lan­ge für ihre Baupläne im Auge. Als sie Bagger anrol­len las­sen, gibt sich das Energiebündel Natalia nicht geschla­gen. Die agi­le Rentnerin orga­ni­siert den Widerstand und kann das kol­lek­ti­ve klei­ne Paradies ret­ten – vorerst.

    Doch bald gibt es Wichtigeres als Unkrautjäten und Gemüseernte. Im März 2022 befin­det sich der Garten plötz­lich im Kriegsgebiet und Natalia muss neue Schwierigkeiten bewäl­ti­gen. Statt zwi­schen Stauden und Bäumen sitzt sie nun immer wie­der im Bunker, Verwandte und Freunde ver­las­sen das Land. Aber mit einer gehö­ri­gen Portion Galgenhumor, Erfindungsgeist und jeder Menge Lebensfreude meis­tert Natalia auch die­se Herausforderung – denn wie die Ukraine ist sie stolz, zäh, ideen­reich und soll­te nie unter­schätzt werden.

    Adelina Borets ist ein stim­mi­ges, warm­her­zi­ges Sozialporträt gelun­gen, das trotz sei­nes erns­ten Themas durch eine hin­rei­ßen­de Protagonistin zum Feel-Good-Movie wird. [Rainer Mende]

    [Tickets]

    Zakopane in den Dreißigerjahren, hier leben die Góralen: Im süd­polni­schen Hochgebirge spricht man sei­ne eige­ne Sprache, pflegt sei­ne alpi­nen Traditionen und hält Abstand zu ande­ren – auch zu Polen. Hier fin­den zwei Familien zuein­an­der, die durch stra­te­gi­sche Heirat ihre Situation ver­bes­sern wol­len. Aber wie so oft sind Liebe und Heirat zwei ver­schie­de­ne Dinge – der älte­re, beson­ne­ne Maciek soll die schö­ne Bronka hei­ra­ten, obwohl sie ein Verhältnis mit sei­nem jün­ge­ren, unge­stü­men Bruder Jędrek hat und sogar ein Kind von ihm erwar­tet. Koszałka beschränkt sich nicht auf ein folk­lo­ris­ti­sches Kammerspiel um Liebe und Gehorsam. Vielmehr ent­wi­ckelt er die Geschichte über einen län­ge­ren Zeitraum und ver­leiht ihr damit auch eine poli­ti­sche Dimension. Denn 1939 mar­schiert die deut­sche Wehrmacht in der Hohen Tatra ein und die Góralen müs­sen sich ent­schei­den – kol­la­bo­rie­ren sie und sichern ihren Wohlstand oder blei­ben sie rebel­lisch und ris­kie­ren damit ihr Leben?
