There are streets, paths, highways, alleys, dirt tracks and promenades… And there are courses of lives, thirstlands, crossroads and dead ends…
A film by Ronny Trocker. In german.
Albert grew up on a remote farm in South Tyrol. On the urging of his mother, who wanted to spare her son the loneliness of mountain life, he left the farm a few years ago and moved into the valley, where he works in a marble quarry. The introverted young man doesn’t make friends easily and has to learn to live in urban society. When his father has a fatal accident, his mother keeps it secret from her son because she fears that would make him move back to the farm. But the old woman cannot manage all the work on her own and, just as Albert is finding his feet in the valley and has even fallen in love, she tells him the truth. Albert is confronted with an existential decision for himself and his mother. The film uses stunning photography to portray an archaic world in which humans and nature co-exist closely together.

Winner: Golden Baer – Berlinale 2017.
A slaughterhouse in Budapest is the setting of a strangely beautiful love story. No sooner does Mária start work as the new quality controller than the whispers begin. At lunch the young woman always chooses a table on her own in the sterile canteen where she sits in silence. She takes her job seriously and adheres strictly to the rules, deducting penalty points for every excessive ounce of fat. Hers is a world that consists of figures and data that have imprinted themselves on her memory since early childhood. Her slightly older boss Endre is also the quiet type. Tentatively, they begin to get to know each other. Recognising their spiritual kinship, they are amazed to discover that they even have the same dreams at night. Carefully, they attempt to make them come true. This story of two people discovering the realm of emotions and physical desire, at first individually and then together, is tenderly told by director Ildikó Enyedi, but in a way that also exudes subtle humour. A film about the fears and inhibitions associated with opening up to others, and about how exhilarating it can be when you finally do.

A film by David Evans. n english with german subtitles.
Three men travel through Europe, visiting sites of Nazi war crimes in Poland and the Ukraine. For two of the three, the journey confronts them with the deeds of their fathers. Niklas Frank is the son of Hans Frank, once General Governor of Poland, also known as the „butcher of Poland”. Horst von Wächter’s father Otto was Governor of Galicia. The man who initiated the journey is renowned lawyer Philippe Sands, who lost part of his family in the Holocaust. During the course of the three men’s encounter with the past, conflicts emerge. While Horst von Wächter defends his father, Hans Frank is filled with an almost obsessive hatred. Two sons, two completely different truths. The film is an extraordinary document about the legacy of mass murderers and their influence on the descendants.

A film by Marion Hänsel. In french with german subtitles.
Homer and Joé, two taciturn men aged around fifty, sail a small boat up a river in Croatia. Until recently, neither knew of the other’s existence, but now their father has died it turns out they are half-brothers. Looking for traces of the man of who shaped their lives so differently, they encounter a third traveller, the mysterious Irishman Sean, and their tour through the wild landscape of Croatia becomes a real psychological challenge.
»Certain people find it diffcult to talk about themselves for many different reasons. My characters, Homer and Joé, halfbrothers, are such people. Homer, traumatised by an absent father who ignored his existence, Joé by the violence of this same father. e lack of words, of verbal communication interests me and can be found in a number of my lms. e silences, what is left unsaid, leaves room for the spectator’s interpretation, their personal imagination. I like that. As to the narration, I have the impression that I am digging into earth that I already know but that I want to go deeper. If Joé and Homer are half-brothers, it is not by chance. In some of my previous Films, blood-ties, filiation, the image of the father or his absence are strongly present. Upstream is part of this same lineage.« Marion Hänsel

A Film by John Trengove. In Xhosa with german subtitles.
Eastern Cape, South Africa. A lonely factory worker, Xolani, takes time off his job to assist during an annual Xhosa circumcision initiation into manhood. In a remote mountain camp that is off limits to women, young men, painted in white ochre, recuperate as they learn the masculine codes of their culture. In this environment of machismo and aggression, Xolani cares for a defiant initiate from Johannesburg, Kwanda, who quickly learns Xolani’s best kept secret, that he is in love with another man. Having first explored male circumcision in his short film Ibhokhwe, South African director John Trengove revisits this topic and other rituals of masculinity in his first feature. The tension that builds inexorably throughout the film derives on the one hand from the young Kwanda who increasingly calls into question the patriarchal codes of the initiation, as well as the unbearable crisis building in Xolani as he must choose between the traditional world that he knows, and his own fulfillment.
