A film by Sarah Miro Fischer. In German and English with English and German subtitles.

[Credits] [Tickets & Termine] [Trailer]

Rose is very clo­se to her older brot­her Sam. When he is accu­sed of rape, Rose is asked to testi­fy against him as part of the inves­ti­ga­ti­on. This tests both their rela­ti­onship and Rose’s moral inte­gri­ty.
In Schwesterherz, direc­tor Sarah Miro Fischer explo­res an inti­ma­te sibling rela­ti­onship and how it is that the clo­ser we are to ano­ther per­son, the har­der it might be to see them cle­ar­ly. What kind of events have the power to des­troy even the clo­sest of bonds? When working on her film with the actors, she pla­ced par­ti­cu­lar empha­sis on phy­si­cal expres­si­on in order to be able to tell sto­ries bey­ond the spo­ken word.

    Silent Friend

    A film by Ildikó Enyedi. In German and English with German subtitles.

    [Credits] [Tickets & Termine] [Trailer]


    In the heart of a bota­ni­cal gar­den in a medieval uni­ver­si­ty town in Germany stands a maje­s­tic gink­go tree. This silent wit­ness has obser­ved over a cen­tu­ry the quiet rhyth­ms of trans­for­ma­ti­on across three human lives.
    2020, a neu­ro­sci­en­tist from Hong Kong, explo­ring the mind of babies, beg­ins an unex­pec­ted expe­ri­ment with the old tree.
    1972, a young stu­dent is pro­found­ly chan­ged by the simp­le act of obser­ving and con­nec­ting with a gera­ni­um.
    1908, the university’s first fema­le stu­dent dis­co­vers, through the lens of pho­to­gra­phy, sacred pat­terns of the uni­ver­se hid­den within the hum­blest of plants.
    We fol­low their clum­sy, awk­ward attempts to con­nect — each one of them deep­ly roo­ted in their own pre­sent — as they are trans­for­med by the quiet, endu­ring, and mys­te­rious power of natu­re. The anci­ent gink­go tree brings us clo­ser to what it means to be human — to our lon­ging to belong.

    Ein einfacher Unfall

    A film by Jafar Panahi. In Farsi with German subtitles.

    [Credits] [Tickets & Termine] [Trailer]

    Vahid, who was once impri­so­ned and tor­tu­red by the Iranian aut­ho­ri­ties, meets a man he belie­ves to have been his most sadi­stic tor­tu­rer. He can’t be sure though, as he was blind­fold­ed during the inter­ro­ga­ti­ons. Intent on vio­lent reven­ge but afraid of hur­ting an inno­cent per­son, he kid­naps the man and asks ano­ther for­mer inma­te to cor­rob­ora­te his sus­pi­ci­on. Neither abso­lut­e­ly con­fi­dent, they deci­de to track down other sur­vi­vors. The group keeps gro­wing as they dri­ve around in Vahid’s van with their pri­soner in tow, despera­te­ly pur­suing a cer­tain­ty that remains just bey­ond reach. A taut thril­ler nuan­ced by an under­cur­rent of absur­dist far­ce, YEK TASADOF‑E SADEH, win­ner of this year’s Palme d’Or, is Jafar Panahi’s most out­spo­ken and expli­cit­ly poli­ti­cal film to date. That it was made after he was hims­elf released from Tehran’s noto­rious Evin Prison gives the sto­ry an obvious auto­bio­gra­phi­cal dimen­si­on. Yet its moral impli­ca­ti­ons extend bey­ond the per­so­nal to encom­pass all of Iranian socie­ty in the wake of the Woman, Life, Freedom pro­tests. Now that new free­doms have been achie­ved, ope­ning an unpre­ce­den­ted win­dow of oppor­tu­ni­ty, the film sets the desi­re for ven­ge­an­ce against the impe­ra­ti­ve to keep pushing for­ward.

    Preview: The Chronology of Water

    A film by Kristen Stewart. Starts March 5th at the fsk. Preview on February 3rd. In English with German subtitles.

    [Credits] [Tickets & Termine] [Trailer]

    Based on the bel­oved memoir by Lidia Yuknavitch and mar­king the direc­to­ri­al debut of Kristen Stewart, The Chronology of Water is a raw and unflin­ching por­trait of sur­vi­val, sexua­li­ty, and self-inven­ti­on. The film traces Lidia’s life from her ear­liest memo­ries in the Pacific Northwest, as a pro­mi­sing swim­mer, through frac­tu­red rela­ti­onships, near-mother­hood, addic­tion, and encoun­ters with artis­tic heroes. Told as a flu­id memo­ry wash, the sto­ry trans­forms trau­ma into art, embo­dy­ing Yuknavitch’s defi­ant voice that made her work a modern cult clas­sic. It is not only a chro­nic­le of a woman beco­ming a wri­ter, but a vis­ce­ral jour­ney through the wrecka­ge and resi­li­ence of a life lived against the grain.
