    Was will der Lama mit dem Gewehr?

    A film by Pawo Choyning Dorji. In Dzongkha and English with German subtitles.

    [Credits] [Tickets & Termine] [Trailer]

    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.

    Frühjahr 1794, Polen ist in Aufruhr. General Tadeusz „Kos“ Kościuszko, ein enger Verbündeter von General George Washington und Oberst in der Kontinentalarmee, kehrt in sei­ne pol­ni­sche Heimat zurück. Begleitet wird er von sei­nem dun­kel­häu­ti­gen Freund Domingo, einem ehe­ma­li­gen Sklaven. Gemeinsam pla­nen sie, den pol­ni­schen Adel und die Bauern zu einem Aufstand gegen die Russen zu mobilisieren.

    Doch Kościuszko wird von Anfang an von dem gna­den­lo­sen rus­si­schen Rittmeister Dunin ver­folgt. Der will den General um jeden Preis gefan­gen neh­men, bevor die­ser einen Volksaufstand aus­lö­sen kann. Zur glei­chen Zeit träumt der jun­ge Bauer Ignacy – ein ade­li­ger Bastard – davon, Wappen und Gut von sei­nem leb­li­chen Vater Duchnowski zu erhal­ten. Dieser hat­te ihn kurz vor sei­nem Tod tes­ta­men­ta­risch damit bedacht.

    Ein biss­chen Western, ein biss­chen Tarantino – so respekt­los, gna­den­los und pro­vo­kant wur­de die pol­ni­sche Geschichte lan­ge nicht mehr auf die Leinwand gebracht. Maślona gelang es mit sei­nem zwei­ten Film nicht nur, den Staub eini­ger Historienfilme weg­zu­pus­ten, son­dern auch, den Hauptpreis beim pol­ni­schen Filmfestival in Gdynia zu gewin­nen und ein gro­ßes Publikum jeden Alters ins Kino zu locken.

  • Crossing – Auf der Suche nach Tekla

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Gdańsk in den Achtzigerjahren – graue Industriemetropole und Fenster zur Welt, Hort katho­li­scher Familientraditionen und Hotspot einer alter­na­ti­ven Jugendkultur, die der New Wave aus Manchester viel näher steht als dem sozia­lis­ti­schen Mainstream aus Warschau. In die­ser explo­si­ven Mischung schlägt sich Ela durch ihr jun­ges Erwachsenenleben. Doch irgend­wie scheint ihr frei­er Geist nicht kom­pa­ti­bel mit dem tra­di­tio­nel­len Erwartungen ihrer Familie zu sein.

    Elas Fluchtwege sind die Musik, die Kunst, die Drogen, der Sex. Wie im Rausch treibt sie aktiv und pas­siv durch die Subkultur der Dreistadt, schein­bar los­ge­löst von Raum und Zeit – die doch ihre Grenzen haben, denn der kom­mu­nis­ti­sche Staat hat Erwartungen in sei­ne Staatsbürgerinnen, vor allem in ihre Rolle als berufs­tä­ti­ge Mütter und Ehefrauen. Die passt nicht zu einer Frau, die Kette raucht, als Sängerin einer Indie-Band näch­te­lang durch die Clubs tin­gelt, an Performances mit­wirkt und deren Leben selbst eine Performance ist.

    In ihrem Zweitwerk taucht Olga Chajdas mit dezi­diert weib­li­chem Fokus tief in das Lebensgefühl der Achtzigerjahre ein, das sie kon­ge­ni­al zitiert – u. a. durch den Retro-Soundtrack von Andrzej Smolik und die kör­nig-ana­lo­gen Bildern von Tomasz Naumiok. Hauptdarstellerin und Co-Autorin Lena Góra schlüpft mit Bravour in ihre bis­her ver­mut­lich schwie­rigs­te Rolle – die ihrer (inzwi­schen ver­stor­be­nen) Mutter, die als Sängerin die nord­pol­ni­sche Kulturszene der Achtzigerjahre präg­te und mit der sie sich durch die­sen Rollentausch aus­söhnt.
