Waldheims Walzer

A film by Ruth Beckermann. In German

[Credits] [Termine] [Trailer]

A lot of time has pas­sed sin­ce the scan­dal sur­roun­ding the Nazi past of for­mer UN Secretary General Kurt Waldheim made head­lines world­wi­de, not least becau­se he denied it. It all star­ted during the 1986 Austrian pre­si­den­ti­al cam­paign, when Waldheim was sup­po­sed to gain vic­to­ry and thus reach the pin­na­cle of his sto­ry­book post-war poli­ti­cal care­er. Based on smart­ly cho­sen inter­na­tio­nal TV archi­ve mate­ri­al, this docu­men­ta­ry essay recon­s­tructs how this hea­ted deba­te pro­gres­sed, all the way up to the second round of voting in June 1986. The posi­ti­ons of the various stake­hol­ders – excerp­ts from the press con­fe­ren­ces of the World Jewish Congress, deba­tes in the UN General Assembly, hea­rings in the US Congress as well as state­ments by the Austrian People’s Party and its can­di­da­te – are joi­n­ed by Ruth Beckermann’s sub­jec­ti­ve, ana­ly­ti­cal com­men­ta­ry in voice­over. She’s also the­re in the video foo­ta­ge she shot hers­elf, docu­ments of an oppo­si­tio­nal move­ment that show anti-Waldheim events and ver­bal dis­pu­tes with res­entful and anti-Semitic passers­by. Rabble-rou­sing, slan­der, media-bas­hing, and deny­ing facts – they all bro­ke new ground here. Yes, a lot of time has pas­sed, but it’s not over yet. (Berlinalestext)

    Utøya 22. Juli

    A film by Erik Poppe. Starts September 20th at the fsk.

    [Credits] [Termine] [Trailer]

    On 22 July 2011 five hundred young peo­p­le atten­ding a sum­mer camp on the island of Utøya were atta­cked by a hea­vi­ly armed right-wing extre­mist. The mur­de­rous attack clai­med the lives of 69 vic­tims. It was a trau­ma that rocked Norway to the core, and still does to this day. Director Erik Poppe has dared to attempt to turn the events of that sum­mer into a film. His dra­ma opens with docu­men­ta­ry foo­ta­ge of Oslo whe­re, short­ly before­hand, the same atta­cker had explo­ded a car bomb kil­ling eight peo­p­le; the sce­ne then shifts to the island. The came­ra fol­lows 19-year-old Kaja who is spen­ding a few days of the holi­day here with her young sis­ter Emilie. The two are quar­rel­ling becau­se Emilie is in no mood for the camp and has abso­lut­e­ly no desi­re to go to the bar­be­cue. And so Kaja ends up going alo­ne. Suddenly, the first gunshot is heard.
    This first shot marks the begin­ning of a breathl­ess 72-minu­te-long recon­s­truc­tion of events, film­ed in a sin­gle take, as seen through the eyes of the vic­tims. Kaja’s despe­ra­te search for Emilie. The fear in the eyes of the young peo­p­le. Their escape into the forest. Their despe­ra­te hope of res­cue. And the unknown ass­as­sin, get­ting clo­ser and closer.

  • Menashe

    Menashe

    A film by Joshua Z Weinstein. In Yiddish with German subtitles.

    Set within the New York Hasidic com­mu­ni­ty in Borough Park, Brooklyn, Menashe fol­lows a kind but hap­less gro­cery store clerk try­ing to main­tain cus­t­ody of his son Rieven after his wife, Lea, pas­ses away. Since they live in a tra­di­ti­on-bound cul­tu­re that requi­res a mother pre­sent in every home, Rieven is sup­po­sed to be adopted by the boy’s strict, mar­ried uncle, but Menashe’s Rabbi deci­des to grant him one week to spend with Rieven pri­or to Lea’s memo­ri­al. Their time tog­e­ther crea­tes an emo­tio­nal moment of father/son bon­ding as well as offers Menashe a final chan­ce to pro­ve to his skep­ti­cal com­mu­ni­ty that he can be a capa­ble parent.

    Shot in secret enti­re­ly within the Hasidic com­mu­ni­ty depic­ted in the film, and one of the only movies to be per­for­med in Yiddish in near­ly 70 years, Menashe is a warm, life-affir­ming look at the uni­ver­sal bonds bet­ween father and son that also sheds unu­su­al light on a noto­rious­ly pri­va­te com­mu­ni­ty. Based lar­ge­ly on the real life of its Hasidic star Menashe Lustig, the film is a strikin­gly authen­tic and deep­ly moving por­trait of fami­ly, love, con­nec­tion, and community.

    Glücklich wie Lazzaro

    A film by Alice Rohrwacher.  In Italian with German and English subtitles

    This is the tale of a mee­ting bet­ween Lazzaro, a young peasant so good that he is often mista­ken for simp­le-min­ded, and Tancredi, a young noble­man cur­sed by his ima­gi­na­ti­on. Life in their iso­la­ted pas­to­ral vil­la­ge Inviolata is domi­na­ted by the ter­ri­ble Marchesa Alfonsina de Luna, the queen of ciga­ret­tes. A loy­al bond is sea­led when Tancredi asks Lazzaro to help him orchest­ra­te his own kid­nap­ping. This stran­ge and impro­ba­ble alli­ance is a reve­la­ti­on for Lazzaro. A fri­end­ship so pre­cious that it will tra­vel in time and trans­port Lazzaro in search of Tancredi. His first time in the big city, Lazzaro is like a frag­ment of the past lost in the modern world.

  • Cobain

    Cobain

    A film by Nanouk Leopold. In Dutch and English with German subtitles

    ‘Listen, kid. She isn’t worth it. She won’t stay on the straight and nar­row. They’ll find her dead by the road one day. After she gets hers­elf ano­ther one like you.’ · ‘It’s my mother you’re tal­king about.’ 

    Cobain wan­ders alo­ne through the streets in search of his mother. On the way he meets old acquain­tances, staff from the child pro­tec­tion ser­vice and the metha­done dis­tri­bu­ti­on cent­re. He is torn bet­ween the pro­s­pect of a new life in a fos­ter fami­ly, a home and a sen­se of secu­ri­ty, and his fears for his mother – who ever­yo­ne else has aban­do­ned. In his acting debut, Bas Keizer mas­terful­ly expres­ses the ten­der­ness and anger, anxie­ty and lon­ging felt by Cobain. Quietly radi­cal, with desa­tu­ra­ted colours unders­cored by spar­se gui­tar riffs, Nanouk Leopold’s film cap­ti­va­tes the view­er in a tale of a modern hero who is forced to grow up much too young.
