A film by Levan Akin. In Georgian, Turkish and English with German subtitles.

[Credits] [Tickets & Termine] [Trailer]

Lia, a reti­red tea­cher, has made a pro­mi­se to find out what hap­pen­ed to her long-lost nie­ce, Tekla. When Lia lear­ns from a neigh­bour, Achi, that Tekla might have left their Georgian home­land and be living in Turkey, Lia and Achi set off tog­e­ther to find her. Arriving in Istanbul, they dis­co­ver a beau­tiful city full of con­nec­tions and pos­si­bi­li­ties. But sear­ching for someone who never inten­ded to be found is har­der than they expec­ted – until they meet Evrim, a lawy­er fight­ing for trans rights. As Lia and Achi wea­ve their way through the city’s back­streets, Tekla starts to feel clo­ser than ever.
Levan Akin’s fourth fea­ture film is fil­led with an impres­si­ve emo­tio­nal imme­dia­cy. Two initi­al­ly hesi­tant stran­gers over­co­me not only ideo­lo­gi­cal but also inter­nal boun­da­ries on their mis­si­on and join forces. The topo­gra­phy of the city plays just as important a role in this ode to huma­ni­ty as the array of cha­rac­ters that live within it.

A film by Fanny Liatard and Jérémy Trouilh. In French with German subtitles.

[Credits] [Tickets & Termine] [Trailer]

Between tower block and orbit: the sto­ry of a young fan of space tra­vel from the ban­lieue is an expe­di­ti­on into the power of the ima­gi­na­ti­on – poe­tic, playful and full of quir­ky moments. 16-year old Yuri has spent his who­le life in the Cité Gagarine, a coun­cil estate from the 1960s on the edge of Paris. Like the eponym of the estate, Yuri dreams of one day lif­ting off into space and esca­ping the drab­ness. But when plans are announ­ced to tear down the estate, he joins the resis­tance. Together with his fri­end Houssam and his neigh­bour Diana, he sets out to save Gagarine – and trans­forms his flat into a space station.

Kingdom of Bhutan, 2006. Modernization has final­ly arri­ved. Bhutan beco­mes the last coun­try in the world to con­nect to the inter­net and tele­vi­si­on, and now the big­gest chan­ge of all: demo­cra­cy. To teach the peo­p­le how to vote, the aut­ho­ri­ties orga­ni­ze a mock elec­tion, but the locals seem uncon­vin­ced. Traveling to rural Bhutan whe­re reli­gi­on is more popu­lar than poli­tics, the elec­tion super­vi­sor dis­co­vers that a monk is plan­ning a mys­te­rious cerem­o­ny for the elec­tion day.

A film by Nicolas Philibert. In French with German subtitles.

[Credits] [Tickets & Termine] [Trailer]

“Averroès” and “Rosa Parks” are two psych­ia­tric units at the Esquirol Hospital in Paris. They belong to the same net­work as the “Adamant”, the floa­ting day cli­nic on the river Seine at the heart of Nicolas Philibert’s film Sur l’Adamant, win­ner of the Golden Bear at the 2023 Berlinale. In Averroès & Rosa Parks, Philibert con­ti­nues his explo­ra­ti­on of this topic. From indi­vi­du­al inter­views to mee­tings bet­ween pati­ents and carers, the film­ma­ker focu­ses on show­ing a form of psych­ia­try that con­ti­nu­al­ly stri­ves to make room for and reha­bi­li­ta­te the pati­ents’ words. Little by litt­le, each one eases open the door to their world. But within an incre­asing­ly worn-out health sys­tem, how can the for­sa­ken be given a place in socie­ty among the rest?
