A film by Agnieszka Holland. 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.

[Credits] [Tickets & Termine] [Trailer]

When a bur­ned Quran is found on a film set, the shoot takes a dark turn and the crew are thrown into turm­oil. Caught in the cross­fi­re, an intern, Elif, is drawn into a dan­ge­rous game of secrets, accu­sa­ti­ons and lies. Mehmet Akif Büyükatalay’s ambi­guous, pro­vo­ca­ti­ve con­spi­ra­cy thril­ler plays with the film-within-a-film motif and is rich in unex­pec­ted twists. A pier­cing reflec­tion on the power of images and the dyna­mics of per­cep­ti­on, pro­jec­tion and socie­tal hysteria.

Ein Film von Anas Saeed, Rawia Alhag, Ibrahim Snoopy, Timeea M. Ahmed, Phil Cox. Am 16.11. 17:30 im fsk. 

[Credits] [Tickets] [Trailer]

Ausgestattet mit gespen­de­ten iPhones, began­nen die vier suda­ne­si­schen Filmemacher*innen Anas Saeed, Rawia Alhag, Ibrahim Snoopy und Timeea M. Ahmed gemein­sam mit dem bri­ti­schen Autor und Regisseur Phil Cox 2022, das Leben und die Träume von fünf sehr unter­schied­li­chen Menschen in Khartum zu doku­men­tie­ren, die ver­su­chen, im Chaos ihres Heimatlandes Sudan zu über­le­ben: Der Straßenjunge Lokain und sein bes­ter Freund Wilson bege­ben sich auf eine Mission in den Müllhalden Khartums, um zwei schö­ne Hemden zu kau­fen. Khadmallah, eine allein­er­zie­hen­de Mutter und Teehändlerin, ver­kauft Kardamom-Kaffee und stu­diert neben­bei Mathematik, um sich ihren Traum vom eige­nen Geschäft zu erfül­len. Jawad, ein sufis­ti­scher Rastafari und Freiwilliger im Widerstand, fährt Motorrad und demons­triert gegen die Militärs für eine zivi­le Regierung. Und der Beamte Majdi ent­flieht dem Büroalltag, indem er gemein­sam mit sei­nem Sohn Taubenrennen veranstaltet.

Als die Dreharbeiten began­nen, hat­te die Militärführung gera­de die zivi­le Regierung gestürzt. Im April 2023 brach ein Krieg zwi­schen der Armee und der Miliz RSF (Rapid Support Forces) aus, der mehr als zehn Millionen Menschen zur Flucht zwang und der bis heu­te anhält.

Als Kampfjets Khartum bom­bar­dier­ten und bewaff­ne­te Milizen die Straßen beherrsch­ten wur­de die Produktion gestoppt. Sowohl die Filmemacher*innen als auch die Protagonist*innen muss­ten aus dem Sudan flie­hen, führ­ten aber ihre inno­va­ti­ve fil­mi­sche Arbeit fort – mit einer Mischung aus Animation, Greenscreen-Rekonstruktionen und doku­men­ta­ri­schen Traumrekonstruktionen, um ihre Geschichte wei­ter erzäh­len zu können.

KHARTOUM wur­de 2025 beim Sundance Film Festival urauf­ge­führt und fei­er­te sei­ne Europapremiere im Februar 2025 in der Sektion Panorama Dokumente der Berlinale.
