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.

Gagarin erzählt die Geschichte von Youri (Alseni Bathily), der guten Seele einer Nachbarschaft, der an der Idee und an den Erinnerungen eines solidarischen Zusammenlebens festhält, bis es nicht mehr geht. Youri ist der selbsternannte Hausmeister einer 60er Jahre Siedlung in einer Vorstadt von Paris namens Gagarin. Obwohl er und seine Freunde sich größte Mühe geben, können sie nicht verhindern, dass die Stadt beschließt, dass die Siedlung abgerissen werden soll. Nach und nach ziehen alle weg, nur Youri hat für sich beschlossen zu bleiben. Erst mal findet Youri neue Freunde. Das Roma Mädchen Diana (Lyna Khoudri, The French Dispatch) ist fasziniert von seinem Einsiedlertum und der Dealer Dali (Finnegan Oldfield, Corsage) lebt auch noch irgendwo im Gebäudekomplex. Dann aber wird die illegale Siedlung von Dianas Familie von der Stadt aufgelöst. Und auch Dali verschwindet nach eine gewalttätigen Auseinandersetzung mit den Bauarbeitern, die Gagarin versiegeln und für die Sprengung vorbereiten. Als letzter Bewohner lebt Youri in der Siedlung wie in einem Raumschiff. Youri weiß, dass er sich in eine Sackgasse manövriert hat, und dass seine Umgebung immer lebensfeindlicher wird. Aber Youri ist stur, er will seine Mission, wie einen Parabelflug beenden und so arbeitet er an einem Countdown, an dessen Ende die Hochhaussiedlung Gagarin für ihn um Hilfe rufen soll. Leider zählt währenddessen noch ein anderer Countdown von 10 bis 0.

“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?

The Kobayashi family finally are able to move out of their tiny, cramped Tokyo apartment to the suburban house of their dreams. But things are not as perfect as they seem: the house is infested by termites and the family starts going crazy: Son Masaki is studying so obsessively for his exams that he’s losing his mind; daughter Erika is oblivious of all but her forthcoming record company audition, grandfather Yasukuni starts getting World War II flashbacks and father Katsuhiko is so worried about his family’s “sickness” that he thinks can only be cured by group suicide. As the Kobayashis’ house begins to crumble, so does the sanity of its inhabitants. Katsuhiko takes it upon himself to keep them from the asylum…at any cost.
Following In the Shadows, the film Scorched Earth is the second part of Thomas Arslan’s Trojan trilogy. Twelve years after career criminal Trojan was forced to flee Berlin, the search for contracts leads him back to the city. Trojan is broke and urgently needs a new job. But Berlin has changed and his old contacts are no longer of much use. Plus, Trojan’s maxim of only ever working for cash is hard to follow in an increasingly digitalised world. So it takes some time before the middlewoman Rebecca finally offers him the prospect of a lucrative contract: a painting by Caspar David Friedrich is to be stolen from a museum. The heist unites Trojan with getaway driver Diana, his former mate Luca and the young Chris. Everything looks promising, but the shadowy client and his henchman Victor have their own plans for the painting. Soon it becomes less about the money and more about getting out alive.
