Entfesselte Stürme an den Küsten Europas fordern ihren Tribut. Freiwillige Helfer*innen rüsten sich für den Winter. Verletzte Robbenwelpen werden mit Flüssignahrung versorgt und mit Rotlichtlampen gewärmt. Ölverschmutzte Schwäne werden Schaumbädern unterzogen. Wir blicken in das Auge eines riesigen gestrandeten Wals. Und der Wal blickt zurück.
In poetischen Bildern spürt Robin Petré den Perspektiven von Menschen und wilden Tieren nach, erzählt von der engen Verflechtung der Lebensräume und schließt den Kreis von Verursacher*innen zu Helfer*innen. Geduldige, in ihrer Intensität herausfordernde Einstellungen öffnen einen Reflexionsraum für den Versuch, das ambivalente Verhältnis unserer Gesellschaft zu bedrohten Ökosystemen zu erfassen. Unnachgiebig blicken wir in den Abgrund des Anthropozäns.

Storms unleash along Europe’s coastlines, taking their toll. Volunteers are preparing for winter. Injured seal pups are nurtured with liquid food and warmed with infra-red lamps. Oil-soiled swans are subjected to foam baths. One stares into the eye of a giant stranded whale. And the whale looks back. In poetic images, Robin Petré traces the gaze between humans and wild animals, narrates the close interweaving of habitats and closes the cycle from perpetrator to helper. Laying bare the ambivalent relationship between society and threatened eco-systems, the haunting imagery patiently and respectfully opens a space for deep reflection. A relentless gaze into the abyss of the Anthropocene.

Five minutes with Fred Baillif

an interview with the director of „La Mif“ The cinema is slowly filling up and the joyful voices of the crowd are giving me a feeling I haven't felt for a long time in the last months of lockdown. Finally it is possible again to celebrate a Berlinale film together. The film team of La Mif is welcomed with loud applause when they arrive at the cinema. Everyone of the crew - the director Fred Baillif, a few of the actresses and family and friends - is smiling and radiates pure joy as they’re walking up to the photo wall. I wait until they’re done with all photos and take the chance to sit down with Fred Baillif for a few minutes before the film starts. What interests me the most about this quite special topic is why Baillif chose it to portray it in one of his films. Fred Baillif: „Because I used to work as a social worker and studied it when I was younger. In the beginning i wanted to tell a story about sex abuse and then I thought the best place to talk about such a subject wou...

“Once you leave you can never go back to who you were as a child” - An Interview with The Director Venice Atienza of “Last Days At Sea”

Wednesday morning I was able to talk to the director Venice Atienza whose film “Last Days at Sea” is screening at this year’s Berlinale. Since she is currently based in the Philippines we arranged a Zoom meeting that would take into account the 6 hours of time difference. An inspiring talk emerged that started with her special way of filming and lead to a discussion of vulnerability that is needed for these films. fGR: Would you like to introduce yourself shortly? My name is Venice Atienza. I initially studied cinema, but before that I actually wanted to be a chef. One day, when I was 16 or 17 years old, I was watching a Korean drama and I asked my mother: “What job makes people feel things?” and she replied by asking me “Why don’t you become a film maker?”. After applying for the second time I finally got into film school. I really always knew I wanted to make documentaries but did not know how. A friend of mine then told me about the project Doc Nomads which I got accepted at. ...

Shit happens!

A comment on Ninjababy 23-year-old Rakel has a pretty normal life - she likes to party and enjoys the carefree lifestyle of a twentysomething. Until suddenly, out of nowhere, she finds out about being pregnant already in the 7th month. From one second to the other Rakel's life is turned upside down - instead of wondering what to eat today, where to party or what she wants to do with her life after dropping out of university, Rakel suddenly has to deal with finding the father and what to do after an unwanted pregnancy. Luckily, Rakel's roommate Ingrid and the aikido instructor Mos, who the two mistook for the father at first, support her on this emotional ride. Pregnancies of young people is definitely not a new topic in generation films. "Ninjababy", however, handles to find the perfect balance between comedy, complexity and emotions. By Rakel's imagination, the unborn child comes to life as a small comic character which Rakel draws and comments everything Rakel d...
