Astronautin. Oder Bierverkosterin. Försterin vielleicht. Und natürlich Comiczeichnerin. Rakel kann sich so einiges vorstellen, was sie gerne wäre. Aber eines ganz bestimmt nicht: schwanger. Was ist das überhaupt für ein hinterhältiges Ninjababy? Erst macht es sich ein halbes Jahr lang gar nicht bemerkbar, bis es viel zu spät ist, um noch etwas dagegen zu unternehmen, dann mischt es sich umso aufdringlicher in Rakels Leben ein. Als hätte sie das Baby nicht nur im Bauch, sondern auch im Kopf. Erstmal muss sie herausfinden, wer der Vater ist und ihn dazu bringen, Verantwortung zu übernehmen – oder sich wenigstens komplett aus der Sache rauszuhalten. Und dann muss sie dem Comic-Fötus noch ausreden, sich von Angelina Jolie adoptieren lassen zu wollen.

Astronaut. Or beer taster. Or maybe forest ranger. Then there’s comic book illustrator, of course. Rakel has no lack of ideas when it comes to what she’d like to be one day. However, being pregnant is definitely not on the list. What kind of sneaky ninjababy is this anyway? First it manages to remain incognito for six months till it’s way too late to do anything about it, then it makes a massive nuisance of itself, interfering in Rakel’s life at every turn. It’s like the baby is in her head too, not only her belly! Now she has to figure out who the father is and get him to take responsibility – or if he won’t, at least try to maintain distance from the whole thing. Then she has to talk the comic-book foetus out of trying to get adopted by Angelina Jolie.

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...
