The Habitat International Film Festival aims to bring critically acclaimed world cinema to film lovers in New Delhi.
The German contribution to the festival includes two feature films and two documentaries:
Saturday, 7 May 2022, 18:30 | Amaltas Hall
Lovemobil
Director: Elke Margarete Lehrenkrauss
(Documentary, Germany, 2019, German, 103 mins.)
Lovemobil is the slang term for the camper vans parked at the side of country roads in Lower Saxony that are used as mini-brothels. Inside, women from Eastern Europe or Africa wait for their johns. In this semi-documentary, the director re-stages the dangerous and banal everyday life of the prostitutes with amateur actresses.
Friday, 13 May 2022, 14:00 | Stein Auditorium
Free Country
Director: Christian Alvart
(Germany, 2020, German, 129 mins.)
Winter 1992, somewhere in the bleak, rundown expanses of northeast Germany: two police inspectors – one from the West, one from the East – are looking into the disappearance of two girls. They end up sinking deeper and deeper into the mire of the formerly divided Germany. A thriller with a sense of history.
Saturday, 14 May 2022, 20:30 | Stein Auditorium
Die Goldfische
Director: Alireza Golafshan
(Germany, 2019, German, 112 mins.)
A fund manager who has recently become a paraplegic uses an unsuspecting group of physically challenged people as cover to smuggle his illegal earnings across the Swiss border. In the process, he learns that there is more to life than money and finds happiness at a moment when he least expects it.
Sunday, 15 May 2022, 14:00 | Amaltas Hall
We Wanted More – The Miracle of Taipeh
Director: John David Seidler
(Documentary, Germany, 2019, German, 87 mins.)
Success tears down walls: it was a long journey to the founding of the first national women's football team in Germany, which was only founded in 1981, after the club team (!) SSG 09 Bergisch Gladbach had won the world championship title – an at times absurd story about perseverance and equality told with a twinkle in the eye by the pioneers of the time.
