  • Tracing Light – Die Magie des Lichts

    Tracing Light – Die Magie des Lichts

    A film by Thomas Riedelsheimer. In English and German with German and English subtitles.

    [Credits] [Tickets & Termine] [Trailer]

    Light is a fasci­na­ting phe­no­me­non. Without light, the­re would be no cine­ma, no film – and no life. So light is at the ori­gin of ever­y­thing, and yet it remains invi­si­ble to the eye until it hits mat­ter. This moment is – quite lite­ral­ly – the start­ing point of Thomas Riedelsheimer’s latest work, for the spring­time spec­ta­cle of rain­bow shreds in the cine­ma­to­grapher and docu­men­ta­ry filmmaker’s flat beca­me the start­ing point of a search for the ori­gin of the images we form of this world. For this quest he dived deep into two sphe­res that seem to fol­low dif­fe­rent laws but always stri­ve to fathom the magi­cal: phy­sics and art.
    An intellec­tu­al and poe­tic ping pong game evol­ves bet­ween rese­ar­chers from the Max Planck Institute in Erlangen and the “Extreme Light Group” of the University of Glasgow as well as inter­na­tio­nal­ly renow­ned artists such as Ruth Jarman, Joe Gerhardt, Julie Brook, Johannes Brunner and Raimund Ritz. In its cour­se, the various per­spec­ti­ves on light lead to new insights on all sides that would hard­ly have been achie­ved wit­hout this metho­di­cal cross-over: about laser power and colour pig­ments, about black holes and floa­ting sculp­tures. In brief moments, the unin­itia­ted may even get some idea of the laws of quan­tum phy­sics, gene­ral­ly con­side­red impos­si­ble to visualise.

  • Die Saat des heiligen Feigenbaums

    Die Saat des heiligen Feigenbaums

    A film by Mohammad Rasoulof. In Farsi with German subtitles.

    [Credits] [Tickets & Termine] [Trailer]

    A tar­get of Iran’s hard­li­ne con­ser­va­ti­ve govern­ment for his films’ cri­ti­cism of the sta­te, direc­tor Mohammad Rasoulof fled his home coun­try to avo­id an eight-year pri­son sen­tence, though he hadn’t finis­hed editing his latest film yet. His sea­ring dra­ma The Seed of the Sacred Fig won a Special Prize from the jury and three other awards on its pre­mie­re at the Cannes Film Festival. The film is every bit as urgent and grip­ping as its real-life back­story would por­tend: long­time govern­ment worker Iman (Missagh Zareh) has just recei­ved a major pro­mo­ti­on to the role of judge’s inves­ti­ga­tor, to the hop­eful delight of his wife Najmeh (Soheila Golestani); at the same moment, a series of stu­dent pro­tests against the govern­ment have explo­ded in the streets, sto­king the sym­pa­thies of their inde­pen­dent-min­ded daugh­ters Rezvan (Mahsa Rostami) and Sana (Setareh Maleki). The gro­wing wedge bet­ween pro­gres­si­ve child­ren and tra­di­tio­nal par­ents inten­si­fies through a series of unsett­ling events that put Iman’s future in jeo­par­dy. Both para­noia thril­ler and dome­stic dra­ma, The Seed of the Sacred Fig is abo­ve all an epic of anti-patri­ar­chal poli­ti­cal conviction.

  • The Outrun

    The Outrun

    A film by Nora Fingscheidt. In English with German subtitles.

    [Credits] [Tickets & Termine] [Trailer]

    After an absence of more than ten years, Rona returns to her home on the remo­te Orkney Islands in Scotland. As she redis­co­vers the uni­que, wild land­scape in which she grew up, her child­hood memo­ries ming­le with tho­se from her more recent times as an addict. Her depar­tu­re for the city and sub­se­quent dis­so­lu­te years in London resul­ted in a pain­ful fall. But litt­le by litt­le, her encoun­ter with the enchan­ted, wind-bat­te­red coasts of the islands beco­mes a chan­ce for a new life.
    Nora Fingscheidt’s adapt­a­ti­on of Amy Liptot’s auto­bio­gra­phi­cal best­sel­ler uses har­ro­wing flash­backs to depict Rona’s down­ward spi­ral in London and her time in a strict rehab pro­gram­me. However, the focus of the film is on her libe­ra­ti­on from per­so­nal demons through a con­nec­tion with the natu­re of her child­hood home.

    Togoland Projektionen

    A film by Jürgen Ellinghaus.

    [Credits] [Tickets & Termine] [Trailer]

    Following in the foot­s­teps of the Hamburg film direc­tor Hans Schomburgk who tra­vel­led through the German colo­ny of Togo from Lomé to the north with his com­pa­n­ion and actress Meg Gehrts in 1913, Jürgen Ellinghaus screens the foo­ta­ge shot then at its loca­ti­ons in modern-day Togo. Schomburgk’s affir­ma­ti­ve images show slave labour, humi­lia­ti­on and the arro­gan­ce of the colo­ni­al power. The mate­ri­al is con­tras­ted by Gehrts’ roman­ti­cis­ing dia­ry ent­ries and other colo­ni­al reports which often testi­fy to a hor­ri­fy­ing coldness.

    The scree­nings of this mate­ri­al, which has never been shown in Togo befo­re, prompt the audi­en­ces to reflect on tra­di­ti­on, ste­reo­ty­pes, the “white gaze.” In the vil­la­ges, the colo­ni­al images con­ju­re up memo­ries of han­ded down sto­ries. In the metro­po­lis of Lomé, young film enthu­si­asts deplo­re that the­se images were kept from them until today and dis­cuss in which con­texts they should be scree­ned. But “Togoland Projections” not only shows how much the­se pain­ful docu­ments and texts are nee­ded in con­tem­po­ra­ry Togo, becau­se they are part of the country’s histo­ry. The film also demons­tra­tes that they are nee­ded in Germany so we can take respon­si­bi­li­ty for our sup­pres­sed histo­ry and face our own racism – past and pre­sent.
