    Toxic

    A film by Saulė Bliuvaitė. In Lithuanian with German subtitles.

    [Credits] [Tickets & Termine]] [Trailer]

    Dreaming of escape from the ble­ak­ne­ss of their indus­tri­al home­town, two 13-year-olds, Marija and Kristina, form a uni­que bond at a local mode­ling school, whe­re the pro­mi­se of a bet­ter life pushes girls to vio­la­te their bodies in incre­asing­ly extre­me ways.
    „Through the sto­ry of young girls navi­ga­ting toxic land­scapes, I wan­ted to explo­re the con­cept of the human body – the body as a pro­ject, cur­ren­cy, an object of desi­re, the body as a source of pain and magic.” Saulė Bliuvaitė

  • Im Haus meiner Eltern

    Im Haus meiner Eltern

    A film by Tim Ellrich. In German.

    [Credits] [Tickets & Termine] [Trailer]

    A the­ra­pist who­se inte­rests lie in alter­na­ti­ve ways to help the sick and infirm is forced to balan­ce the demands of her pro­fes­sio­nal life with tho­se of her age­ing par­ents and older brot­her, in Tim Ellrich’s sen­si­ti­ve but uncom­pro­mi­sing drama.

    Holle works as a spi­ri­tu­al hea­ler, ten­ding to cli­ents with serious ill­nesses and chro­nic con­di­ti­ons. One of four siblings, she devo­tes much of her time to caring for her age­ing par­ents, a com­mit­ment that strains her rela­ti­onship with her part­ner. When her mother suf­fers a fall and is hos­pi­ta­li­sed, Holle faces moun­ting chal­lenges, par­ti­cu­lar­ly in rela­ti­on to her brot­her Sven, who has schi­zo­phre­nia and has lived a secluded life in their par­ents’ attic for years.

    Inspired by film­ma­ker Tim Ellrich’s own fami­ly expe­ri­en­ces and shot on loca­ti­on at his child­hood home, Im Haus mei­ner Eltern is an incisi­ve explo­ra­ti­on of the toll care­gi­ving takes on fami­lies. Filmed in stark black and white, its visu­als cap­tu­re both the exhaus­ti­on of care­gi­ving and the claus­tro­pho­bia of lives bound by duty. Ellrich avo­ids easy judgments, ins­tead offe­ring a thoughtful reflec­tion on how socie­ty tre­ats the elder­ly and infirm and the fric­tion the­se respon­si­bi­li­ties crea­te within fami­lies – from tho­se who should­er the bur­den to tho­se who keep their distance. With empa­thy and an under­sta­ted approach, Im Haus mei­ner Eltern, exami­nes the uns­po­ken ten­si­ons and quiet sacri­fices that defi­ne fami­ly life under pressure.

    Zosias Körper ist etwas Besonderes. Nicht nur, dass er mit Tattoos über­sät ist, er dient auch als Vorbild. Zosia hilft näm­lich ande­ren Frauen, ein posi­ti­ves Verhältnis zu ihrem Körper zu ent­wi­ckeln. Dann steigt sie in ihr altes Wohnmobil, fährt mit ihnen ins Grüne, greift in Wald und Feld zur Kamera und zeigt mit ihren Fotos, dass jeder Körper als Teil der Natur auf sei­ne Weise schön ist. Die Frauen, die sich von ihr in ästhe­ti­schem Schwarz-Weiß ablich­ten las­sen, tei­len mit ihr nicht nur den Anblick ihrer unver­hüll­ten Körper, son­dern auch ihre Geschichten. Sie erzäh­len von Essstörungen, Bodyshaming, psy­chi­schen Problemen und sozia­ler Ablehnung.

    Doch als wir Zosia näher ken­nen­ler­nen, erfah­ren wir, dass auch sie sich ihre posi­ti­ve Einstellung zu ihrem Körper hart und schmerz­voll erar­bei­ten muss­te. Diese Frau, die ande­ren den Weg zu einem har­mo­ni­schen Körpergefühl ebnet, ist kei­nes­wegs frei von Zweifeln. Ihre rast­lo­se Lebensweise hat ihre Schattenseiten – sie ver­leiht kei­ne Stabilität und erlaubt kei­ne fes­ten sozia­len Bindungen. Irgendwann fühlt Zosia, dass sie sich ent­schei­den muss – wei­ter als Freigeist an wech­seln­den Orten ande­ren hel­fen oder doch sess­haft wer­den und sich mehr um das eige­ne psy­chi­sche Wohl küm­mern?

    Michał Hytroś zeich­net – unter­stützt von Karina Paciorkowskas Animationen – anhand der Aufs und Abs sei­ner Protagonistin und ihrer Kundinnen das Kollektivporträt einer Gesellschaft, die zwi­schen tra­dier­ten sozia­len Rollen und post­mo­der­nen Lebenswelten zer­ris­sen ist. Gleichzeitig zeigt er mit gro­ßer Empathie die Haarrisse im Weltbild sei­ner Hauptfigur. [Rainer Mende]

  • Simón de la montaña

    Simón de la montaña

    A film by Federico Luis. Im Spanish with German subtitles.

    [Credits] [Tickets & Termine] [Trailer]

    The film is far from a straight­for­ward por­tra­y­al of its sub­ject. It doesn’t just focus on good and noble fee­lings, nor does it fall into the sort of sim­pli­stic bina­ries that set the “puri­ty” of peo­p­le with disa­bi­li­ties against the cyni­cism of socie­ty. Simón is deceitful, more than hap­py to lie and una­fraid to get his fri­ends into trou­ble, yet they never judge or punish him nor label him as pro­ble­ma­tic. At home, whe­re his mother’s good­will has been exhaus­ted, a sen­se of apa­thy has set in that threa­tens to usurp the obvious love she feels for him. Luis’ film smart­ly refrains from jud­ging her, as she seems unable to find a solu­ti­on to her son’s unex­plai­ned anti­cs; she only wat­ches in sur­pri­se as Simón speaks less and less, imi­ta­tes phy­si­cal tics and retre­ats into his own per­so­nal ver­si­on of disa­bi­li­ty. Engrossing, and nar­ra­ted with gre­at intel­li­gence and subt­le­ty, the film lay­ers nuan­ce upon nuan­ce in its sui­ta­b­ly ambi­va­lent por­trait of the titu­lar cha­rac­ter. With ano­ther enig­ma­tic, yet empa­the­tic per­for­mance by up-and-coming actor Lorenzo Ferro, SIMÓN DE LA MONTAÑA is a remar­kab­le debut fea­ture that dares to explo­re the mur­ky waters of human beha­viour.

    Two chim­ney sweeps living in mono­ga­mous, hete­ro­se­xu­al mar­ria­ges both end up in situa­tions that chall­enge their views on sexua­li­ty and gen­der roles. One has a sexu­al encoun­ter with ano­ther man, wit­hout hims­elf expe­ri­en­cing it eit­her as an expres­si­on of homo­se­xu­al lon­gings or infi­de­li­ty. The other sud­den­ly expe­ri­en­ces noc­turnal dreams in which he is seen as a woman. This con­fu­ses and dis­turbs him. He beg­ins to won­der to what ext­ent the gaze of others shapes his per­so­na­li­ty and whe­ther the­re are aspects of hims­elf that he has sup­pres­sed, ther­eby limi­ting hims­elf.
    In Dag Johan Haugerud’s Sex, the chim­ney is swept befo­re we get down to busi­ness. Whether hete­ro or homo, wit­ty word­play chal­lenges nor­ma­ti­ve images of men and socie­ty in modern urban Norway.

    At 17, Johanne falls head over heels in love with her fema­le tea­cher. In an attempt to cap­tu­re this first crush, she pours her expe­ri­en­ces onto paper with raw hones­ty. When her mother and grand­mo­ther dis­co­ver her wri­tin­gs, their initi­al shock at the inti­ma­te descrip­ti­ons gives way to admi­ra­ti­on for their lite­ra­ry merit. The two older women begin to reflect on their own love lives, their plea­su­res and missed oppor­tu­ni­ties, and are remin­ded of the over­whel­ming sen­sa­ti­on of first love; and of the lon­ging for some­thing more. Johanne’s grand­mo­ther, an estab­lished poet hers­elf, feels both pri­de and unea­se at her granddaughter’s natu­ral talent. But ques­ti­ons lin­ger: What tru­ly hap­pen­ed bet­ween Johanne and her tea­cher? Where does rea­li­ty end and fic­tion begin? And should the­se deep­ly per­so­nal wri­tin­gs ever find their way to publication?

    [Credits] [Tickets & Termine] [Trailer]

    A few months after his release from Auschwitz and still in his stri­ped jacket, Yechiel De-Nur sat down and star­ted wri­ting. After two weeks, he was reborn as Ka-Tzetnik, or “the man from the camps.” While the books that he wro­te were trans­la­ted into 32 lan­guages and sold mil­li­ons, the aut­hor hims­elf hid behind the pseud­onym. It wasn’t until the tri­al of Adolf Eichmann in 1961 that his true iden­ti­ty was reve­a­led during his reve­la­to­ry tes­tim­o­ny whe­re he descri­bed Auschwitz as “the other pla­net:” a place out­side of human judgment. Years later, under­go­ing an expe­ri­men­tal LSD tre­at­ment for trau­ma, he revi­sits his expe­ri­ence, ima­gi­ning hims­elf as an SS offi­cer, and that chan­ges ever­y­thing. In this affec­ting docu­men­ta­ry, the life of the mys­te­rious and elu­si­ve aut­hor and his views on human beha­vi­or are exami­ned in depth.
