Ellbogen

A film by Aslı Özarslan. In German and Turkish with German and English subtitles.

[Credits] [Tickets & Termine] [Trailer]

Hazal’s grea­test wish is to have a life. In spi­te of many appli­ca­ti­ons, she isn’t invi­ted to a sin­gle job inter­view. Instead, she is stuck in a Job Centre trai­ning pro­gram that fails to open up any new oppor­tu­ni­ties for her. But on her 18th bir­th­day, Hazal feels powerful. It is like the old days when she and her fri­ends belie­ved they could achie­ve any­thing as long as they stuck tog­e­ther. It’s only when they’re queu­e­ing to get into a hip club that Hazal feels they don’t belong the­re. And she’s right. The boun­cer refu­ses to let them in. On their way home, they’re ver­bal­ly abu­sed by an arro­gant stu­dent. The situa­ti­on escala­tes, Hazal’s frus­tra­ti­on about all the rejec­tions erupts into a fatal act. Hazal flees head­long to Istanbul, a stran­ge city in a coun­try unknown to her. There, she has to sur­vi­ve on her own, no mat­ter what the cost.
Ellbogen tells the sto­ry of a young woman who is pushed out of socie­ty and has to reset the cour­se of her life. We want to run through the night with her; we want to know what hap­pens next – for her, and for us all.

    Crossing – Auf der Suche nach Tekla

    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.

    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.

    My Stolen Planet

    A film by Farahnaz Sharifi. In Farsi with German subtitles.

    [Credits] [Tickets & Termine] [Trailer]

    My Stolen Planet is a dia­ry-style nar­ra­ti­ve by Farah, an Iranian film­ma­ker. Born during the Islamic revo­lu­ti­on in Iran in 1979, she cap­tures moments of joy and defi­ance in her dai­ly life, navi­ga­ting the con­trast bet­ween dome­stic free­dom and exter­nal oppres­si­on. Simultaneously, she coll­ects 8mm archi­ves from peo­p­le she doesn’t know. Relying on the­se recor­dings from other peo­p­le, she gains a new per­spec­ti­ve on losing memo­ries. Her con­nec­tion with Leyla, an Iranian pro­fes­sor who left Iran during the revo­lu­ti­on, adds a name and a sto­ry to one of the faces in her archi­ve. Farah’s mother, who is suf­fe­ring from Alzheimer’s, moti­va­tes her to con­ti­nue her fight against for­get­ting. In the autumn of 2022, the Women, Life, Freedom upri­sing beco­mes a tur­ning point in Farah’s life, as well as in the lives of many others in Iran. This is a home­ma­de history.

    Der Student Tymoteusz hat mit sei­nem Klavierspiel schon Preise gewon­nen und es ins Fernsehen geschafft. Über den Sommer kehrt er in sei­ne trost­lo­se Heimatstadt zurück, wo seit sei­nem Weggang die Welt ste­hen geblie­ben zu sein scheint. Die alten Kumpels aus dem Block hän­gen immer noch in der Gegend her­um, kif­fen, trin­ken Dosenbier, labern viel, träu­men von Abenteuern in der gro­ßen wei­ten Welt und kom­men aus ihrem Viereck aus Badesee, Skatepark, Spielplatz und Dönerimbiss doch nicht heraus.

    Auch Tymoteusz‘ Bruder Jacek gehört zur Clique – eben­falls ein begab­ter Pianist, der aber seit einer miss­glück­ten Bewerbung das Klavier ver­stimmt ein­stau­ben lässt. Statt sich Hoffnungen und Träumen hin­zu­ge­ben, ver­sinkt er resi­gniert im pro­vin­zi­el­len Sumpf aus Langeweile, Perspektivlosigkeit, Homophobie und plum­pem Rassismus. Denn die Wut über das so früh geschei­ter­te Leben der Jugendlichen muss sich irgend­wo ent­la­den – war­um nicht bei die­sen frem­den Typen, die so ver­däch­tig ver­schlos­se­nen einen Döner nach dem ande­ren zubereiten?

    Wie eine Granate schlug der for­mal eigen­stän­di­ge, lose an zeit­his­to­ri­sche Ereignisse anknüp­fen­de Debüt-Langfilm in der pol­ni­schen Szene ein. Mit Fingerspitzengefühl, Präzision und sti­lis­ti­schem Selbstbewusstsein, die für einen Newcomer unge­wöhn­lich aus­ge­reift sind, erzählt er schein­bar bei­läu­fig eine semi­do­ku­men­ta­ri­sche Geschichte in der Ästhetik eines frü­hen Andreas Dresden, die – ganz ohne Musik und vir­tu­os im been­gen­den Seitenverhältnis 4:3 geschnit­ten – durch schmerz­haf­te Authentizität besticht. Denn die Laien-Darsteller*innen spie­len sich selbst und ihre eige­nen Geschichten. [Rainer Mende]

    Damian Kocur (geb. 1983 in Katowice) stu­dier­te an der Schlesischen Universität Katowice. Als Regisseur ver­öf­fent­lich­te er acht teil­wei­se preis­ge­krön­te kur­ze Spiel- und Dokumentarfilme, bevor er mit „Chleb i sól“ einen Jurypreis beim Filmfestival von Venedig und zahl­rei­che wei­te­re Preise gewann.
