German films@the festival:
Afire (Roter Himmel)
Christian Petzold
2023 | 103 min. | German
► Friday October 4, 10.30 a.m.
A small holiday house by the Baltic Sea. The days are hot and it hasn’t rained in weeks. Four young people come together, friends old and new. As the parched forests around them begin to ignite, so do their emotions. Happiness, lust, and love; but also jealousies, resentments, and tensions. Meanwhile, the forests burn. And before long, the flames are there.
Sun and Concrete (Sonne und Beton)
David Wnendt
2023 | 119 min. | German, Italian, Mandarin, Arabic
► Sunday October 6, 1.30 p.m.
Berlin-Gropiusstadt in the record summer of 2003. The parks stink of dog shit, shards of glass everywhere, dealers standing in the corners. Whoever lives here is a gangster or a victim. Gino and Julius are such victims. No money for the swimming pool, no luck in love and only stress at home. When they want to buy weed in the park, they get caught between rival dealers. They beat up Lukas and want 500 euros in protection money. How is Lukas supposed to find the money? His new classmate Sanchez has an idea, simply break into the school, drag the new computers out of storage and sell them. Then they'll be rid of all their money worries. The plan succeeds. Almost.
Sisi & I (Sisi & Ich)
Frauke Finsterwalder
2023 | 123 min. | German, English, French
► Monday October 7, 1.30 p.m.
Late in the 19th century, Empress Elisabeth of Austria-Hungary, known as Sisi (Susanne Wolff), was living in an aristocratic women-only commune in Greece. Countess Irma is sent there to be Sisi’s companion, and she is captivated by the eccentric and extravagant recluse. But the outside world is reaching out to break Sisi. And no matter how much Irma and Sisi resist, in the end they are left with only one fatal path that will bind the two women together forever.
Skin Deep (Aus meiner Haut)
Alex Schaad
2022 | 104 min. | German
► Wednesday October 9, 4.30 p.m.
On first glance, Leyla and Tristan seem like a happy young couple. But when they travel to a mysterious, remote island, a game of identities begins, which changes everything – their perception, their sexuality, their whole “self”. Not only is their relationship in jeopardy, they may never be who they once were again…The film explores the relationship between body, mind, and soul, and the essence of love, with a lot of humor and poetry. Alex Schaad, who made his directorial debut with this film, won the Queer Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival.
Elaha
Milena Aboyan
2023 | 110 min. | German, English, Kurdish
► Thursday October 10, 10.30 a.m.
22-year-old German-Kurdish Elaha takes us to the crossroads between unconditional love for her family and the desire for a self-determined life. Shortly before her wedding to Nasim, Elaha is confronted with the expectations of those around her to enter the marriage as a virgin. She desperately searches for ways to fake her virginity in order to preserve her family's reputation. Elaha is an intensely told story about the struggle for sovereignty over one's own female body amidst the tensions of cultural traditions.
*All German films will be screened in Auditorium 4 of INOX.*
