Toxic

A film by Saulė Bliuvaitė. In Lithuanian with German subtitles.

[Credits] [Tickets & Termine] [Trailer]

Dreaming of escape from the ble­ak­ne­ss of their indus­tri­al home­town, two 13-year-olds, Marija and Kristina, form a uni­que bond at a local mode­ling school, whe­re the pro­mi­se of a bet­ter life pushes girls to vio­la­te their bodies in incre­asing­ly extre­me ways.
„Through the sto­ry of young girls navi­ga­ting toxic land­scapes, I wan­ted to explo­re the con­cept of the human body – the body as a pro­ject, cur­ren­cy, an object of desi­re, the body as a source of pain and magic.” Saulė Bliuvaitė

    A film by Julia Groteclaes. Am 5.5. um 20:00 im fsk.
    Anschließend Diskussion mit Julia Groteclaes, Moderation: Birgit Kohler

    [Tickets]

    The docu­men­ta­ry film pre­mie­res that have been pre­sen­ted in suc­ces­si­on over the past ten years at the Arsenal at Potsdamer Platz will now con­ti­nue as part of Arsenal on Location in and with the fsk cine­ma at Oranienplatz – an obvious col­la­bo­ra­ti­on, as con­tem­po­ra­ry docu­men­ta­ry film­ma­king also holds a regu­lar place in the pro­gram the­re. The series will con­ti­nue in May with HINTER DEN FARBEN (G 2024) by Julia Groteclaes. In a pared-down stu­dio set­ting – a chair in front of a neu­tral black back­ground – eight peo­p­le take turns in rea­ding out an account of an extre­me expe­ri­ence in the first per­son from a pie­ce of paper: after suf­fe­ring a fall while can­yo­ning, 25-year-old Micha was trap­ped for days in the hol­low behind a water­fall, invi­si­ble to the out­side world. The prot­ago­nists play his role in pro­xy with the film­ma­ker as a interlo­cu­tor, also com­men­ting on Micha’s sto­ry and incor­po­ra­ting their fee­lings and own expe­ri­en­ces into the pro­cess.

    Jagoda und Zuzia gehö­ren zur TikTok-Generation, sind bes­te Freundinnen und ste­hen gera­de an der Schwelle zur Pubertät. Und sie sind Prototypen des­sen, was man gemein­hin als „früh­reif“ bezeich­net – sie sind umfas­send auf­ge­klärt und machen sich tief­grei­fen­de Gedanken über Partnerschaft und Lebensgestaltung, seh­nen aber immer noch ihre ers­te Periode her­bei, die sie end­lich zu Erwachsenen machen soll. Zwischen Spielplatz, Schule und sozia­len Medien beob­ach­ten wir über vie­le Monate hin­weg, wie der Übergang von der Kindheit ins Erwachsenenleben tat­säch­lich Fahrt auf­nimmt und über­ra­schend unter­schied­li­che Entwicklungen in Gang bringt. Denn der Blick auf sich selbst und die Umgebung ver­än­dert sich bei den bei­den Mädchen nicht so gleich­ar­tig, wie es die anfäng­li­che Harmonie ver­mu­ten lässt. Wie zwei Prototypen spie­geln die Charaktere mög­li­che Wege, die man in die­sem Alter ein­schla­gen kann – von frü­her Karriereplanung und bewuss­ter Arbeit am eige­nen Erscheinungsbild über resi­gnier­te Gleichgültigkeit bis zu Essstörungen und psy­chi­schen Problemen. In vie­len klei­nen, auf den ers­ten Blick unspek­ta­ku­lä­ren Szenen mit viel Wortanteil, unter­bro­chen von kur­zen Animationen, zeigt die Regisseurin, wie die Sehnsucht nach dem Erwachsensein lang­sam der puber­tä­ren Desillusionierung und Ratlosigkeit weicht. Dabei bleibt sie stets nah an ihren Protagonistinnen und gibt ihnen den Raum, sich so dar­zu­stel­len, wie sie es wol­len. [Rainer Mende]
