The profound cultural influence of the composer, performer and interdisciplinary artist Meredith Monk is often overlooked. As a female artist, she had to fight for recognition and resources in the male-dominated art scene of downtown New York of the 1960s and 1970s. Early reviews in “The New York Times” were vicious and sexist, with Clive Barnes calling her “a disgrace to the name of dancing” and John Rockwell opining that she was “so earnestly strange in a talented little-girl way”. And yet, as her celebrated contemporary Philip Glass says: “She, among all of us, was – and still is – the uniquely gifted one.” Monk in Pieces is a mosaic that mirrors the structure of her own work and illuminates her wildly original vocabulary of sound and imagery. In the film’s final chapters, Monk confronts mortality. We see her warily entrust her masterpiece “Atlas” to the director Yuval Sharon and singer Joanna Lynn-Jacobs for a new production with the Los Angeles Philharmonic. For 60 years, Monk has directed and performed in all her works; now she must learn to let go. What will happen to such singular creations after she is gone?

The film tells the story of the 2020 racist attack in the city of Hanau in the German state of Hesse from the perspective of the bereaved relatives and the survivors. Within the space of just a few minutes, the perpetrator shot nine young people dead because he did not consider them to be German. What are the direct and long-term consequences of such an attack on people and their city? Director Marcin Wierzchowski accompanied the protagonists for four years as they faced their grief and strived to come to terms with the loss of a loved one. But the film also reveals their struggle for recognition and a sense of belonging in the country they call home. The relatives feel abandoned by the authorities and politicians alike because, despite many words of sympathy, they themselves are left to uncover the circumstances of the crime. In the process, they encounter the cold bureaucracy of a system that is woefully unprepared for such an attack – even though right-wing terror is a tragically commonplace part of German history.

A middle-class Palestinian family in Haifa sees life spiral out of control under the oppressive reality of contemporary Israeli society.
The daughter, Fifi, is studying in Jerusalem and gets into a car accident; the son, Toufic, is involved in secret romantic liaisons and must contend with an unwanted pregnancy; and the father is embroiled in what could amount to insurance fraud.
Oscar nominee Scandar Copti (Ajami, 2009) presents a gripping family drama as his second feature film. Led by an ensemble of non-professional actors, it interweaves the stories of multiple characters whose fates are undeniably – and resentfully – interlinked. The characters in this masterfully written screenplay, grounded in intimate portrayals of moral relativism, walk a fine line between conceding to and resisting the status quo of Israeli state violence. The film premiered at the Venice Film Festival in 2024 and won the Horizons Award for Best Screenplay.
