A film by Ruth Beckermann. In German with English subtitles.

[Credits] [Tickets & Termine] [Trailer]

“Beid, Hafsa, Melissa, Manessa, Mohammad… 25 child­ren and their dedi­ca­ted tea­cher. We wan­ted to find out who they are and beco­me fami­li­ar with their skills and stra­te­gies, their joys, fears and hard­ships,” says direc­tor Ruth Beckermann. More than 60 per­cent of all child­ren in Viennese pri­ma­ry schools do not speak German as their first lan­guage. At the same time, the­re is an acu­te shorta­ge of tea­chers and super­vi­sors. Such adver­se con­di­ti­ons are the start­ing point of Ruth Beckermann’s docu­men­ta­ry Favoriten, for which the Austrian film­ma­ker of The Waldheim Waltz and Mutzenbacher fol­lo­wed a Viennese pri­ma­ry school class for three years. The result is an asto­nis­hin­gly cheerful por­trait of an unu­su­al com­mu­ni­ty. A film about tea­ching and lear­ning and the often very sur­pri­sing expe­ri­en­ces some­whe­re in between.

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.

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.
