  • To my Sisters

    To my Sisters

    A film by Faek Falak. In Kurdish, Arabic and German with German subtitles.

    [Credits] [Tickets & Termine] [Trailer]

    A young Kurdish woman in Syria leads a women’s unit into batt­le against ISIS—fighting for free­dom and women’s rights. Her strugg­le is nar­ra­ted by a Yazidi sur­vi­vor who was ens­laved by ISIS as a child and makes clear what is at sta­ke if this fight is lost. And while she sur­vi­ved the hor­ror, a German woman vol­un­t­a­ri­ly joi­n­ed ISIS—and is now at the mer­cy of the con­se­quen­ces of her decis­i­on. Three women, three decis­i­ons, a reflec­tion of cou­ra­ge, suf­fe­ring, and dan­ge­rous delusion.

  • Etwas ganz Besonderes

    Etwas ganz Besonderes

    A film by Eva Trobisch. In German with English subtitles.

    [Credits] [Tickets & Termine] [Trailer]

    Whilst pre­pa­ring for her appearance on a tele­vi­si­on talent show, Lea (Frida Hornemann) is asked why she thinks she is some­thing quite spe­cial. She doesn’t have an ans­wer. Her par­ents are sepa­ra­ted. Whilst her father Matze (Max Riemelt) sup­ports her dream of a stage care­er, she regu­lar­ly clas­hes with her mother Rieke (Gina Henkel). Lea lives with her grand­par­ents Christel (Rahel Ohm) and Friedrich (Peter René Lüdicke), who run a guest­house on their farm in the heart of idyl­lic Thuringia. Guests are few and far bet­ween. Instead, a right-wing popu­list par­ty wants to book the place for a con­fe­rence, which par­ti­cu­lar­ly disp­lea­ses Lea’s rebel­lious brot­her. The 16-year-old’s only true con­fidan­te is her aunt Kati (Eva Löbau), who has moved back to her home­town from the West to run the new­ly reno­va­ted City Palace as a GDR muse­um. When Kati walks through the exhi­bi­ti­on with her mother in tow as part of the fun­ding com­mit­tee, and Christel sees her life on dis­play, it is one of the film’s most powerful sce­nes. How can it be that mil­li­ons are being spent on this past – which she would dear­ly love to for­get – whilst she hers­elf is on the brink of bank­rupt­cy? The wri­ter and direc­tor Eva Trobisch, who was born and rai­sed in East Berlin, careful­ly arran­ges her cast of cha­rac­ters to play out the con­flicts bet­ween the gene­ra­ti­ons. With keen obser­va­ti­on and sharp dia­lo­gue, she por­trays German-German sen­si­bi­li­ties.” Indiekino

    It is never the real­ly big dra­mas, the tru­ly ter­ri­ble tra­ge­dies, that Eva Trobisch tells of, but rather the sto­ries that sim­ply hap­pen to someone, even though ever­y­thing was actual­ly plan­ned quite dif­fer­ent­ly. This casu­al tone, which incor­po­ra­tes many small obser­va­tions and a keen eye for detail, may seem a litt­le unfo­cu­sed at first glan­ce; yet beneath the light­ly sket­ched epi­so­des and sto­ry­li­nes, and the film’s mean­de­ring gaze, the­re is more than one might initi­al­ly think.” Joachim Kurz | Kinozeit
