  • Das deutsche Volk

    Das deutsche Volk

    A film by Marcin Wierzchowski. In various lan­guages with German subtitles.

    [Credits] [Tickets & Termine] [Trailer]

    The film tells the sto­ry of the 2020 racist attack in the city of Hanau in the German sta­te of Hesse from the per­spec­ti­ve of the bere­a­ved rela­ti­ves and the sur­vi­vors. Within the space of just a few minu­tes, the per­pe­tra­tor shot nine young peo­p­le dead becau­se he did not con­sider them to be German. What are the direct and long-term con­se­quen­ces of such an attack on peo­p­le and their city? Director Marcin Wierzchowski accom­pa­nied the prot­ago­nists for four years as they faced their grief and stri­ved to come to terms with the loss of a loved one. But the film also reve­als their strugg­le for reco­gni­ti­on and a sen­se of belon­ging in the coun­try they call home. The rela­ti­ves feel aban­do­ned by the aut­ho­ri­ties and poli­ti­ci­ans ali­ke becau­se, despi­te many words of sym­pa­thy, they them­sel­ves are left to unco­ver the cir­cum­s­tances of the crime. In the pro­cess, they encoun­ter the cold bureau­cra­cy of a sys­tem that is woeful­ly unpre­pared for such an attack – even though right-wing ter­ror is a tra­gi­cal­ly com­mon­place part of German history.

    Die Möllner Briefe

    A film by Martina Priessner. In German and Turkish with German and Turkish subtitles.

    [Credits] [Tickets & Termine] [Trailer]

    In November 1992, a racist arson attack in Mölln shat­te­red the lives of İbrahim Arslan and his fami­ly. At just seven years old, İbrahim sur­vi­ved, but he lost his sis­ter, his cou­sin and his grand­mo­ther. In the after­math of the attacks, the city recei­ved hundreds of let­ters of soli­da­ri­ty which were igno­red for near­ly three deca­des. Woven into İbrahim’s poignant jour­ney of dis­co­very and his encoun­ters with three let­ter wri­ters, the­se redis­co­ver­ed let­ters form a visu­al and emo­tio­nal bridge bet­ween past and pre­sent. The film fol­lows İbrahim and his siblings, pain­ting a com­plex por­trait of the las­ting trau­ma that con­ti­nues to affect them to this day. While İbrahim has found a way to cope by fight­ing against racism and advo­ca­ting for a remem­brance cul­tu­re cent­red on the vic­tims’ per­spec­ti­ves, his brot­her Namik is still at the begin­ning of his jour­ney to come to terms with the trau­ma­tic expe­ri­en­ces.
    The film not only ampli­fies the per­spec­ti­ves of the vic­tims and sur­vi­vors but also unco­vers the vibrant soli­da­ri­ty that once exis­ted – a soli­da­ri­ty of which the vic­tims and sur­vi­vors were pre­vious­ly una­wa­re. It offers a new per­spec­ti­ve on remem­brance – one that takes the voices of sur­vi­vors and their expe­ri­en­ces serious­ly and pro­vi­des them with the space and reco­gni­ti­on that they deserve.

  • Wenn du Angst hast nimmst du dein Herz in den Mund und lächelst

    Wenn du Angst hast nimmst du dein Herz in den Mund und lächelst

    A film by Marie Luise Lehner. Starts October 2nd at the fsk. In German, German Sign Language & English with German subtitles.

    [Credits] [Tickets & Termine] [Trailer]

    Slowly, 12-year-old Anna and her deaf mum are start­ing to feel a bit cram­ped in their flat. It’s not just the lack of pri­va­cy that’s caus­ing fric­tion – Anna has just star­ted secon­da­ry school and quick­ly rea­li­ses what’s important now: brand-name clo­thes and a sen­se of belon­ging. She quick­ly gets hold of a fake Ralph Lauren jum­per, but money’s still tight. In her debut, direc­tor and aut­hor Marie Luise Lehner stages a con­fron­ta­ti­on with clas­sist struc­tures, which Anna tack­les with a mix­tu­re of shame and grit. She finds an ally in Mara, who chal­lenges others with femi­nist issues and who also lives alo­ne with her que­er father. Lehner stands by her heroes uncon­di­tio­nal­ly, giving them space for intro­s­pec­tion and out­bursts, allo­wing them to row back and recon­ci­le. Not fit­ting in allows them to get to know and app­re­cia­te who they are. Lehner flies the flag of soli­da­ri­ty, quite natu­ral­ly and with ple­nty of refe­ren­ces to pop cul­tu­re. And clo­ses with a libe­ra­ting “Fuck you, Vienna”, high abo­ve the city’s rooftops.
