수면장애와 불안증을 가진 다니엘라가 여러 인물들과 만나면서 예상치 못한 상황에 부딪히며 겪는 내적 변화를 세심하게 포착한다.

Wunderkind, scandalous author, traitor to the fatherland, fury of the theater, feminist, fashion-lover, communist, pessimist, language terrorist, rebel, enfant terrible, nest fouler, brilliant, vulnerable artist, Nobel laureate. This film about Elfriede Jelinek, who in 2004 became the first Austrian author to receive the Nobel Prize for Literature, focuses on her artistic approach to language. The montage of archive material with voiceovers and interviews, some of them recently recorded, is told from Jelinek’s point of view.

A bittersweet relationship film about love, work and the daily struggle for happiness.

Elli is an android and lives with a man she calls her father. Together they drift through the summer. During the day they swim in the pool and at night he takes her to bed. She shares his memories and anything else he programs her to recall. Memories that mean everything to him but nothing to her. Yet, one night she sets off into the woods following a fading echo… The story of a machine and the ghosts we all carry within us.

A self-built screen amid an expansive green landscape. On it dance silhouettes of the surrounding trees and bushes. A natural cinema – without a darkened cinema hall, without artificial light and without film. From various camera positions, Viktoria Schmid portrays her screen, installed in the sculpture park of the Djerassi Resident Artists Program, as a moving image within a moving image.

영화는 19세기 말에서 20세기에 이르기까지 붕괴한 가정의 전기적인 흔적들을 모아 담으며, 우연히 만나게 된 사람들이 이내 서로를 놓쳐 버리고 마는 양상에 관해 논한다. 현재는 그 다음 세대의 후손들이 사라져 가고 있는 상황이다. 결국 이것은 대화와 침묵, 첫사랑과 행복의 상실에 관한 이야기다.

It seems to be an intermediate world of peace and quiet, the garden and country house where four people look back on testing lives. And forward, to the time they have left. On the one hand, there is regret – on the other, satisfaction. In a way, they are looking forward to the future – but at the same time, a longing for death regularly arises. And who is actually behind the camera? Are we watching actors or real people? Is there really any difference? Garten is full of contradictions – it is not until the credits roll that we realise who these people from very different backgrounds are.

철의 장막이 무너지고 동독과 서독을 나누던 베를린 장벽이 사라진 1989년. 동독에 거주하는 재단사 아담과 웨이트리스 에블린은 평온한 삶을 살아가는 커플이다. 여름 휴가를 준비 중이던 두 사람이지만, 아담의 바람기를 의심한 에블린은 친구들과 헝가리로 휴가를 떠나버리고, 그런 에블린을 찾아가던 아담은 한 여성이 서쪽으로 이주하는 걸 몰래 돕는다. 그리고 두 사람에게도 선택의 순간이 찾아온다. 미래를 위해 고향을 떠나 서쪽으로 갈 것인가, 그대로 머물 것인가. 잉고 슐츠의 동명 원작을 각색한 은 냉전 시대의 마지막을 살아낸 평범한 독일사람의 초상을 담는다. 영화는 두 사람이 이주를 결심하는 명확한 극적 동기나 심리적 갈등을 제시하지 않는다. 대신 집과 정원, 나른하고 평화로운 시골길 등 다양한 공간 속의 두 사람을 반복적으로 보여주면서, 역사 정치적 의미보다는 사적인 역사의 저장고로서의 고향을 떠나야 하는 상황을 시각적으로 강조한다. 은 올해 베니스영화제 비평가주간에서 처음으로 공개되었다.

The anti-psychiatric Socialist Patients' Collective (SPK) was founded in Heidelberg in 1970 and attributed individual suffering to society’s capitalist structures. It began as a self-organised experiment in group therapy led by doctor Wolfgang Huber with psychiatric patients, featuring Hegel readings and individual agitation, before subsequently radicalizing, which ended in criminal proceedings against its members, some of whom went underground with the Red Army Faction.

Tradition and modernity, contrasting ways of life: the master of archival footage has assembled an impressive collection. His serene narration takes us inside the private lives of migrant families in different eras, from the beginnings of film to the present day. This new film from one of the great avant-garde directors is also a powerful tribute to a neglected genre.

Following Bellavista and Totó, Peter Schreiner completes his informal trilogy of epic, black-and-white digital-video essay-films with the utterly monumental Fata Morgana. Shot in the Libyan desert and in an abandoned building in Lausitz, Germany, it features a man (Christian Schmidt), a woman (Giuliana Pachner, from Bellavista) - and, glimpsed now and again, a guide (Awad Elkish.) They talk, they fall silent. Winds blow. The sun shines. The camera runs. What gradually takes shape is nothing less than a painstakingly concentrated attempt to understand the human condition through the lens of cinema. A lofty ambition, and one that demands a considerable leap of faith on the part of the audience: this film is sedate, "difficult", challenging, often apparently impenetrable. But anyone who has seen Schreiner's previous films will be aware that he is by any standards a major artist, one that can be trusted to find places that other directors may not even suspect exist.

Breathtaking in its subtle beauty, Harvest is an achingly romantic tale of an innocent but ever increasingly passionate affair that develops between two simple farmhands. Life on a farm is all that sullen teen Marco knows- leading a perfunctory and quiet life of working, going to school and avoiding the advances of girls. However, his self-imposed solitude ends when curly-haired Jakob, rejecting the banking world for farming, arrives to train on the farm. Although initially cautious and tentative with each other, it is soon obvious that the unspoken sexual tension is becoming increasingly hard to resist - something a spontaneous trip to Berlin. Proving that true love can blossom in even the most unlikely of places, Harvest is as rich and rewarding as it is heart-warming.
