Meine glückliche Familie

Eine wundervoller deutsch – französisch- georgische Koproduktion von Nana und Simon. Nach “die langen hellen tage” der zweite Spielfilm der in Tiflis spielt und sich mit den patriarchalischen georgischen Familienstrukturen auseinandersetzt.

Eine Frau – Manana – möchte aus diesen Strukturen mit Anfang 50 ausbrechen und beginnt einfach neu. So einfach und schlicht die Geschichte ist, so klug, authentisch, warm und tief ist diese erzählt. Der Film wurde bei der Berlinale 2017 schon zu recht gefeiert aufgrund der poetischen Bildern und auch toller Musik.

Zu sehen im russischen kino Krokodil, im Lichtblick und fsk und einigen anderen independent Kinos in Berlin in georgisch / deutsch.

Hier ist das Berlinale interview von Knut Elstermann mit den Regisseuren, die im Nebenberuf übrigens Eisproduzenten sind.

The last Saddest Music In The World Contest
kuratiert von Joanna Gemma Auguri und Marc Weiser

Es ist traurig.
Wir müssen gehen.
Einen der schönsten Spielorte dem sogenannten Wachstum und dem Multimedia – Wahnsinn überlassen. Weil Berlin unbedingt noch schicker werden muss….
Aber was solls, um so mehr können wir uns in dieser Nacht unserem Schmerz überlassen und uns in unseren Tränen baden.

Insgesamt 8. mal war der Saddest Music in the World Contest zu Gast im
atmosphärischen Roten Salon und das 9. mal soll nun das traurigste sein.
Wie wird sich die Welt weiter entwickeln?
Bis diese Frage beantwortet ist:
Lasset uns ein weiteres mal zusammen kommen,
in einer glänzenden Nacht,
lasset uns gemeinsam herzzerreissenden Melodien lauschen und uns wieder unseren schwärzesten und tiefsten Sehnsüchten hingeben

Inspiriert durch Guy Maddins The Saddest Music in the World ( 2003)
finden sich in dieser Nacht die vielfältigsten Musiker Berlins zusammen, um ihren traurigsten Song zu spielen.

Melancholisch, glamourös, absurd, wunderschön und sehr, sehr traurig

Veloce come il vento – Giulias großes Rennen

Veloce come il vento (Giulias großes Rennen) is the name of a really beautiful, rich and thrilling film by Matteo Rovere that has been shown yesterday in a italian double feature night in lichtblick – kino with the film Non essere captive (Tu nicht Böses) by Claudio Caligari with promising actress Roberta Mattei playing in both movies, presenting the films and answering questions after the movies.

Veloce…is the story of a 17 year old female race driver and her struggle after the death of her father and coach. But its as well a store of her dysfunctional family. Heartbreaking and thrilling till the last seconds.

Non essere …is the last film of Claudio Caligari who died just 2015 unfortunately  right after the finishing of this movie. It is the story of two outsiders playing in the mid 1990ies in Ostia, reminding deeply of godard´s  early films like a bout de souffle (ausser atem) or bande a part (die Aussenseiterbande) or pasolini´s stories of the “raggazzi di vita” the people of the roman suburbs.

Veloce come il vento is still to see the next days in lichtblick kino and in some other small cinemas and the dvd of both films will soon be available as well.
