[Credits] [Tickets & Termine] [Trailer]

An expan­si­ve and reve­la­to­ry insi­de look at John Lennon and Yoko Ono’s life in Greenwich Village in the ear­ly 1970s, ONE TO ONE: JOHN & YOKO deli­vers an immersi­ve cine­ma­tic expe­ri­ence that brings to life elec­tri­fy­ing, never-befo­re-seen mate­ri­al and new­ly res­to­red foo­ta­ge of John and Yoko’s only full-length con­cert. Featuring mind-blo­wing music new­ly remi­xed and pro­du­ced by Sean Ono Lennon, the film is a seis­mic reve­la­ti­on that will chall­enge pre-exis­ting noti­ons of the ico­nic couple.

A film by Nicolas Humbert and Werner Prenzel. In English with German subtitles.

[Credits] [Tickets & Termine] [Trailer]

In this film two forms of artis­tic expres­si­on, impro­vi­sed music and cine­ma direct, are inter­re­la­ted. In both forms it is the moment that counts, the intui­ti­ve sen­se for what is hap­pe­ning in a space. Music and film come into exis­tence out of an inten­se per­cep­ti­on of the moment, not from the trans­for­ma­ti­on of a preor­da­i­ned plan. In impro­vi­sa­ti­on the plan is reve­a­led only at the end. One finds it. The other con­nec­tion con­cerns the work method: the film team as band. Much as musi­ci­ans com­mu­ni­ca­te via the music, our work, too, was rea­li­zed within a very small and fle­xi­ble team of equ­als. What mat­te­red was exch­an­ge. And move­ment. Sometimes we star­ted film­ing in the midd­le of the night, respon­ding to a new idea that had ari­sen only minu­tes befo­re. We had a fun­da­men­tal fee­ling for what we wan­ted to do, for what kind of film this should be. And we fol­lo­wed that fee­ling. It was all very instinctive.

Two chim­ney sweeps living in mono­ga­mous, hete­ro­se­xu­al mar­ria­ges both end up in situa­tions that chall­enge their views on sexua­li­ty and gen­der roles. One has a sexu­al encoun­ter with ano­ther man, wit­hout hims­elf expe­ri­en­cing it eit­her as an expres­si­on of homo­se­xu­al lon­gings or infi­de­li­ty. The other sud­den­ly expe­ri­en­ces noc­turnal dreams in which he is seen as a woman. This con­fu­ses and dis­turbs him. He beg­ins to won­der to what ext­ent the gaze of others shapes his per­so­na­li­ty and whe­ther the­re are aspects of hims­elf that he has sup­pres­sed, ther­eby limi­ting hims­elf.
In Dag Johan Haugerud’s Sex, the chim­ney is swept befo­re we get down to busi­ness. Whether hete­ro or homo, wit­ty word­play chal­lenges nor­ma­ti­ve images of men and socie­ty in modern urban Norway.

Isabell’s life takes a turn when she rea­li­ses that her elder­ly par­ents can no lon­ger live inde­pendent­ly. The search for carers is dif­fi­cult and the­re are also com­pli­ca­ti­ons in her mar­ria­ge to Philippe. She shut­tles bet­ween Berlin and her par­ents’ weekend house, a striking moder­nist buil­ding desi­gned by her pro­mi­nent father hims­elf in bet­ter days. There, Isabell repea­ted­ly encoun­ters the enig­ma­tic Anja, a sin­gle mother who is strugg­ling to make ends meet. An unex­pec­ted bond beg­ins to form. The more Anja and her daugh­ter Greta beco­me part of Isabell’s life, the more uncer­tain she feels about the exis­tence she has so careful­ly built for hers­elf. Isabell sen­ses the ground shif­ting beneath her feet as she incre­asing­ly loses control.

»Why haven’t I seen this befo­re?« In the first sce­ne of Copa 71, American inter­na­tio­nal foot­bal­ler Brandi Chastain sta­res at her tablet in ama­ze­ment. She is wat­ching foo­ta­ge of the first ever inter­na­tio­nal women’s foot­ball tour­na­ment in Mexico City in 1971, Copa 71. Why is it that one of the best-atten­ded women’s sport­ing events of all time has been forgotten?

In 1970, the first European tour­na­ment took place in Italy; SC 07 Bad Neuenahr repre­sen­ted Germany. A year later, inter­na­tio­nal teams from Argentina, England, France, Denmark and Mexico com­pe­ted against each other in Mexico. This purely com­mer­cial event, which was not backed by FIFA, pro­ved a huge suc­cess, attrac­ting crowds of 100,000 to the sta­di­ums. Yet what could have been the launch pad for women’s foot­ball world­wi­de fai­led to attract any sup­port. Another ten years would pass befo­re the next inter­na­tio­nal tour­na­ment. In Taipei, Taiwan, SSG 09 Bergisch Gladbach beca­me world cham­pi­ons in 1981. This also paved the way for the for­ma­ti­on of an offi­ci­al women’s natio­nal team in Germany in 1982. One thing to note though: women’s foot­ball was offi­ci­al­ly ban­ned until 1970. Perhaps not sur­pri­sing then that ano­ther deca­de pas­sed befo­re the first FIFA Women’s World Cup was held, in China. The final saw Brandi Chastain score the win­ning penal­ty to help the US take the tro­phy home.

The film pres­ents archi­ve foo­ta­ge of the tour­na­ment, plus inter­views with the play­ers of the time – impres­si­ve per­so­na­li­ties who pro­vi­de vivid accounts of the pre­pa­ra­ti­ons and the tour­na­ment its­elf. A threa­ten­ed walk-out by the Mexican team over pay at one point put the tour­na­ment in jeo­par­dy, as did the ten­se atmo­sphe­re bet­ween the teams, still tan­gi­ble when wat­ching the film in the cinema.

„Ich habe ver­sucht, Dinge zu zei­gen, die im Argentinischen Kino nicht vorkamen.”

Sonntag, 29.6.2025 20:00 Uhr [Tickets]

Ende Juni, am 28. + 29.6., kommt der argen­ti­ni­sche Regisseur MARTIN REJTMAN zu uns ins fsk-Kino und stellt sei­ne bei­den aktu­el­len Filme per­sön­lich vor:
Mit Filmen wie RAPADO und SILVIA PRIETO gilt Martin Rejtmans als Begründer des neu­en argen­ti­ni­schen Kinos in den 90er-Jahren. Die bei­den neus­ten, bei uns pro­gram­mier­ten Filme des viel­fach, u.a. zwei­mal mit dem Goldenen Leoparden in Locarno aus­ge­zeich­ne­ten Regisseurs behan­deln auf ganz unter­schied­li­che Weise die Arbeitswelt.

Der Argentinier Gustavo betreibt im melan­cho­lisch-humor­vol­len Spielfilm LA PRACTICA (San Sebastian 2024) zusam­men mit sei­ner Frau Vanesa in Santago de Chile ein Yoga-Center. Die Ehe ist am Ende, bei der Scheidung wird der Besitz auf­ge­teilt. Gustavo bleibt allei­ne mit der Yoga-Schule zurück und kann und will sich nicht mit der Situation abfin­den. „Distanziert und doch warm­her­zig, absurd und trotz­dem ver­ständ­lich, irri­tie­rend, aber gleich­zei­tig trans­pa­rent. All dies passt zu die­sem abso­lut unter­halt­sa­men Film“ Cristóbal Soage | cineuropa

Als Vorfilm zu LA PRACTICA zei­gen wir SHAKTI (Berlinale Shorts 2019), eine kur­ze Erzählung über Verlassenwerden, Therapie, eine neue Liebe und Omas köst­li­che Knishes.
