The European Short Film Festival 2006 - Second Edition Light … Camera …and … Action! Shooting Europe – The European Short Film Festival is rolling out the red carpet for the 2nd time! Take your seat in the director’s chair or take the camera into your hands! What do you see? What do you hear? Do you find Cultural Differences, aspects of Human Rights or simply Your Europe? What do you have to say?

Designed as AEGEE’s novel approach in promoting the idea of an integrated Europe among young people, the Shooting Europe Festival involves original scenarios and provokes the participants to active discussions. Films, means of communication which are pow- erful and charming at the same time, will be used to deal with the issues of Human Rights, Intercultural Dialogue and other European aspects. Their strength lies in the subtle manner of delivering mes- sages. Therefore, this event, supported by the European Youth Forum in the field of its campaign “All different All Equals”, combines art and creativity with thematic work on common social issues and cultural diversity.

Each day will be devoted to a separate category: Human rights – be their lawyer or their judge; Cultural Differences in Dialogue – tell your experience; My Europe – express your feelings! The programme does not only consist of screening movies but also of discussions with the producers and invited guests – professional- ly connected with the cinema industry. Participants and moviemakers as well as invited guests coming from various European countries for one particular goal – Shooting Europe - represent themselves, different cultural backgrounds and different attitudes. We wish you all that this kind of confrontation will allow everyone to see the issues we’ll discuss in a different light. 7 Wednesday 24th, 2006 Saturday 27th, 2006 During the day: Arrival of the My Europe (in collaboration European participants & with Citizens of Europe) Welcome Location: Festsaal University of Karlsruhe Thursday 25th, 2006 10:00 Workshop & Discussion Cultural Differences 11:30 Lunch break Location: Festsaal University of 12:30 Reality Shock by Karlsruhe Stanislaw Mucha 10:00 Workshop & Discussion 14:30 Screening of the Short 12:00 Lunch break Films in Competition - 14:00 Let´s break – Adil is MY EUROPE leaving by Esther 18:00 Dinner break Gronenborn 20:30 Gala & Proclamation of The Programme 16:00 Free time and dinner the winners of the three 19:00 Official Opening, categories Screening of the Short Films in Competition - CULTURAL DIFFERENCES Sunday 28th, 2006 Best of Friday 26th, 2006 Location: Festsaal University of Human Rights Karlsruhe Location: Hörsaal HMO, University 11:00 Screening of the best of Karlsruhe films of the three categories 10:00 Workshop & Discussion Open screen: show your own 12:00 Lunch break films! 15:00 89 mm by Sebastian Heinzel 16:30 Dinner 18:00 Screening of the Short Films in Competition - HUMAN RIGHTS Tickets available from Festsaal University of Karlsruhe, Studentenhaus, May 17th in the Mensa Adenauerring 7 Hörsaal HMO, University of Foyer of the University of Karlsruhe, Wilhelm-Nusselt-Weg 2, Building 10.21, Room 301 Karlsruhe!!! 8 Thursday 25th, 2005 Cultural Differences

What do we understand under a multicultural society and in Dialogue how can people of different origins, races, religions and lifestyles life together in one society ? The short films in the section “Cultural Differences in Dialogue” try to answer this question and each filmmaker shows his/her own vision about the subject.

The Balkans once have been exemplary for the friendly mixture and coex- istence of different cultures. The Croatian filmmaker Damir Cucic takes a look at the main street of the town Vodnjan, which has a long history of being a meeting point of various languages, traditions and cultures (La Strada). Another film from the Balkans, the Bulgarian debut film Moon Cake shows the life of Chinese immigrants in Bulgaria and their way of integrating in a different culture. The Scandinavian countries also have a history of being very tolerant and provided especially during the Balkan wars home for a lot of refugees from former Yugoslavia. Filmmaker Gorki Glaser-Müller himself is an immigrant from Chile and his film Girl with a Video Camera reflects Sweden’s multicultural and diverse society. Spain was among the first European countries afflicted by terrorists from Islamic countries. The filmmakers Ramon Tarres (Golden Boot) and Xavi Sala (Hiyab) show the realities of Muslim children in Spain. German people are known as the “World Champions” in travelling around the world. This does by no means mean that they respect other countries mentality and culture as it can be seen in Lancelot von Naso´s The Tourist. Cultural Differences in Dialogue can also be seen in Brigitte Yoshiko Pruchnow’s Pearl where a 10 year old girl from an German-Thai marriage travels with her parents to her grandmothers burial in Thailand. That the relationship between Germany and its neighbours is sometimes still difficult, because of World War II is reflected in Exchange of prejudices directed by three film students from . Humorous approaches to the subject provide Bordeaux and La Vie est dure sans Confiture, as well as Dog, made by a British-German filmmaker in Calcutta, India. The Bicycle, a short film from Italy rounds up this years selection of films from eight different countries. 9 Let’s break – Adil is leaving About the film: Adil, Jonni, Elvis Adil geht, Germany 2005 - and Idris are friends and had to Running time: 96’00” leave Yugoslavia with their fami- Director: Esther Gronenborn lies a couple of years ago during Screenplay: Esther the civil war.

Friday 26th, 2006 Human Rights Be their lawyer or their judge

What are your reflections about human rights today? The sad truth is that recently we have had many examples - from terrorists attacks, through minorities discrimination to undemocratic elections - showing that human rights are not respected as they should be. Every action that violates independent rights of other human beings is a proof that some people are not aware of the fact that one’s rights end where the rights of others start or they do not care about that. The focus of our discussion in human rights - moderated by representative of Amnesty International Germany - will be the state of human rights in European media and film. What is your story? Should we treat the nowadays situation as an acceptable departure from the ideal or should we do our best to change it? Can we change it? Show your opinion! Make others think, make them notice aspects they didn’t see before!

Amnesty international is co-organisator of the German Human Rights Film Prize, which is awarded each two years in the early December due to the international Human Rights Day. The Human Rights organisation also awarded for the second time the Amnesty International Film Prize at the 56th Berlin Fim Festival 2006. With this prize, Amnesty International aims to draw professional and public attention to human rights as a theme and to encourage filmmakers to devote more interest to this topic. www.amnesty.de 23 Saturday 27th, 2006 My Europe What does Europe mean to you?

There are many ways to look at Europe. All the filmmakers taking part in our competition have their spe- cific view, what Europe means to them.

European Youth shows similarities and differences in the thinking of young people by the mean of interviews while Eyes and Mouths tries to show this visually. A group of British reflect in The Euro, how much do we care? in a funny way, if the UK should establish the Euro or not. Expenses Reimbursement tells us on the basis of the Italian example about the phenom- enon in various European countries that young professionals hardly can find a job. A German crew of filmmakers tried with Concrete Castles – Old Borders in New Europe to show the scars of history in the landscape of Europe´s future. But there are also very subjective views on Europe, a special kind of feel- ing like in The Sign or in Tulips and Raspburries. Europe is a continent in motion. Two years and a day and At the cross- roads show us people stunned between their country of origin and their country of living. And also war like in Echo and ter- rorism like in The Appointment are leaving their tracks in our minds and souls. Finally, where are the borders of Europe? My Europe shows that the continent begins at our front doors. And where does it end? Facade Europe visits the Ukraine before the Orange Revolution and shows us that Europe doesn´t end on EU borders.

All this is Our Europe and this are only examples. There is a lot more to discover.

It is represented in 250 university cities, in 40 countries all around Europe and has about 15000 members. www.aegee.org AEGEE-Karlsruhe For more than 15 years, young people in Karlsruhe have been enthousiastically involved in the AEGEE network. Since the foundation of the local group, or “antenna” in the 1980s students of the Fridericiana University of Karlsruhe and other local colleges have taken part in the pursuit of European integration and friendship. Regular activities include the annual summer university and various exchange projects. The antenna currently counts about 70 members who have over the years made Karlsruhe one of the most active AEGEE antennae of the region. When the idea of the Shooting Europe Short Film Festival was born in 2004, AEGEE Karlsruhe eagerly volunteered to host an event with a Europe-wide scope – and after an amazing experience with the first edition in May 2005, the antenna happily agreed to carry on the project with its sequel in May 2006. As in the year before, AEGEE Karlsruhe was fortunate to establish close cooperation with local supporters and sponsors who after all, have helped to make this festival possible. We hope that our enthusiasm for Europe and for movies will make itself felt as you flip through the pages of this cat- alogue, and wish you a great time at the festival!
