    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.

  • Franz K.

    Franz K.

    A film by Agnieszka Holland. Starts October 23th at the fsk. In German and Czech with German subtitles.

    [Credits] [Tickets & Termine] [Trailer]

    There are seve­ral films about Kafka and adapt­a­ti­ons of his works, moun­ta­ins of Kafka bio­gra­phies and other secon­da­ry lite­ra­tu­re, humo­rous­ly illus­tra­ted in ‘Franz K.’ during one of the excur­si­ons into the bizar­re pre­sent. Agnieszka Holland and aut­hor Marek Epstein have cho­sen a very lively approach for their film ver­si­on, which appears like a coll­ec­tion of short sto­ries. The film repea­ted­ly jumps through time, show­ing excerp­ts and frag­ments of what is known about the life of the high­ly sen­si­ti­ve aut­hor. With a gre­at wil­ling­ness to expe­ri­ment, it allows us to par­ta­ke in his pri­va­te and pro­fes­sio­nal life and visual­ly inter­prets excerp­ts from his work wit­hout, howe­ver, ove­ru­sing ‘Kafkaesque’ imagery. It tells of fami­ly, fri­end­ship, pres­su­re and fear, inner and outer cons­traints, often in a playful man­ner, but also with appro­pria­te serious­ness, as in its tre­at­ment of the incre­asing­ly threa­tening situa­ti­on of Jews in Europe.
