“It’s not about giving life more days, it’s about giving days more life” is one of the ide­as for­mu­la­ted by Cicely Saunders, the foun­der of pal­lia­ti­ve care. It fli­ckers up during a pre­sen­ta­ti­on in Philipp Döring’s four-hour insti­tu­tio­nal obser­va­ti­on while a carer ins­tructs a new staff mem­ber. They are at the Franziskus hos­pi­tal in Berlin. Döring docu­ments a few months here bet­ween the start of the year and sum­mer, accom­pany­ing doc­tors on their rounds and in con­sul­ta­ti­ons with rela­ti­ves and lis­tening in on the team’s inter­nal exch­an­ges, which don’t shy away from men­tio­ning short­co­mings. A safe space is crea­ted that fol­lows its own rules, in which dia­lo­gues about life paths are taken up and reflec­ted upon, pro­gress is cele­bra­ted and approa­ching fare­wells ent­rus­ted to the neces­sa­ry peo­p­le. Palliativstation is thus also a film about lan­guage, which shifts bet­ween medi­cal jar­gon and dif­fe­rent dialects and is some­ti­mes only able to be pro­du­ced with tech­ni­cal help. Döring gets very clo­se to death, but with it also to life. His film is weigh­ty, impres­si­ve and yet never beco­mes crus­hing under the bur­den of fate. One thing quick­ly beco­mes clear: life only ends with the final heartbeat.

When a bur­ned Quran is found on a film set, the shoot takes a dark turn and the crew are thrown into turm­oil. Caught in the cross­fi­re, an intern, Elif, is drawn into a dan­ge­rous game of secrets, accu­sa­ti­ons and lies. Mehmet Akif Büyükatalay’s ambi­guous, pro­vo­ca­ti­ve con­spi­ra­cy thril­ler plays with the film-within-a-film motif and is rich in unex­pec­ted twists. A pier­cing reflec­tion on the power of images and the dyna­mics of per­cep­ti­on, pro­jec­tion and socie­tal hysteria.
