Fatih Akin Sommer Kino

Fatih Akin, born in Hamburg in 1973 as the son of Turkish immigrants, belongs to the first generation of immigrant
children. He brought their perspective to German cinema and surprised with his first two feature films Short and Painless (1998) and In July (2000). Akin told stories from his personal experience and played with the genre patterns of gangster film and romance. Thus he found an idiosyncratic mix of author- and genre-cinema.
