  • Arsenal on location: Die fabelhafte Welt des Dr. Cadéot

    Arsenal on location: Die fabelhafte Welt des Dr. Cadéot

    A film by Ulrike Pfeiffer. On March 19th at 8pm at the fsk. In French with German subtitles.

    [Tickets]

    The docu­men­ta­ry film pre­mie­res that have been pre­sen­ted at the Arsenal at Potsdamer Platz in loo­se suc­ces­si­on for the past ten years will be con­tin­ued as part of Arsenal on Location at and with the fsk Kino at Oranienplatz—an obvious col­la­bo­ra­ti­on, as con­tem­po­ra­ry docu­men­ta­ry film­ma­king also has a per­ma­nent place in the fsk’s pro­gram. The series beg­ins in March with Ulrike Pfeiffer’s film DIE FABELHAFTE WELT DES DR. CADÉOT (D 2024), which por­trays an old vet from Gascony and depicts a micro­c­osm that has fal­len out of time. (Birgit Kohler)

    Dr. Cadéot is over 90 years old and still works as a vet in the coun­try. He lives in the Gascogne regi­on of sou­thwest France with his brot­her and sis­ter-in-law, a goo­se cal­led Lily and a small flock of sheep. The mischie­vous, dis­he­vel­led old man tre­ats ani­mals on a woo­den table cover­ed in a wipe-clean table­cloth. Relics from a long life can be found all over the house, the tele­pho­ne hangs on the wall, and paper is sta­cked up in piles. Ulrike Pfeiffer’s DIE FABELHAFTE WELT DES DR. CADÉOT por­trays a micro­c­osm that seems to stem from a dif­fe­rent era. The came­ra shows the sun­light strea­ming in, wind and wea­ther, day and night, dif­fe­rent sea­sons, it gli­des along old wall­pa­per and over the sur­faces of the flo­or and walls. A nar­ra­tor counts the sheep or says sen­ten­ces such as “It’s about to rain.” The music com­po­sed by Helge Schneider places its own empha­sis – as do the quo­tes from seve­ral 400-year-old ani­mal fables by Jean de La Fontaine.

    A film by Ido Fluk. In German and English with German subtitles.

    [Credits] [Tickets & Termine] [Trailer]

    Köln 75 tells the true sto­ry behind one of the best-sel­ling jazz records of all time, Keith Jarrett’s “Köln Concert” from 1975. The event almost fai­led to hap­pen – befo­re a for­mi­da­ble German teen­ager, the 18-year-old Vera Brandes, pulls out all the stops and arran­ges the con­di­ti­ons for the crea­ti­on of a mas­ter­pie­ce. Vera, who is still at school when she starts pro­du­cing and pro­mo­ting con­certs in Cologne, puts ever­y­thing on the line to stage this show. It looks like all the odds are against her, but Vera belie­ves in the power of music and has never seen anyo­ne play in the way that Keith Jarrett plays.
