Nelly sieht die Dinge auf ihre Weise. Was andere gruselt, stört sie nicht. Monster im Keller? Ein Grund erst recht diesen Ort zu erkunden. Keine Freund*innen? Damit kann Nelly leben. Als Nelly in der verwinkelten Villa ihres Onkels Hannibal herumstöbert, entdeckt sie unverhofft das Geheimnis ihrer Familie: Als Teil eines internationalen Netzwerks von Monsteragent*innen sorgt diese seit Jahrzehnten für ein gefahrloses Zusammenleben von Menschen, Zombies, Vampiren und anderen schaurigen Kreaturen. Nelly will nun auch Monster jagen und wirbelt einiges an Staub und Spinnweben auf. Aber wer sorgt hier eigentlich wirklich für Angst und Schrecken? In dem Fantasyfilm, der auf der gleichnamigen Buchreihe von Martin Widmark basiert, entpuppt sich der Druck zur Anpassung als der eigentliche Grusel.

Nelly has her own special way of seeing things. Where others are spooked, she remains unfazed. Monsters in the basement? One more reason to check the place out! No friends? Nelly will cope. Snooping around in Uncle Hannibal’s labyrinthine mansion, Nelly stumbles upon an incredible secret: her family has been keeping the peace between humans, zombies, vampires and other gruesome creatures for decades, as members of an international brigade of monster agents. Nelly wants to hunt monsters too, and proceeds to stir up a fair amount of dust. But what if she has been misled about who is actually responsible for fear and scariness? In this fantasy film, based on Martin Widmark’s book series of the same name, the pressure to conform is revealed as the true source of horror.

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...
