IBW Pressbook Print SCREEN.Pdf (4.4 Mib) RONALD ZEHRFELD MOHSIN AHMADY A FILM BY FEO ALADAG SYNOPSIS German soldier Jesper signs up for a mission in Afghanistan, despite having lost his brother during an operation in the war-torn country. Jesper and his squad are assigned to protect a village outpost from increasing Taliban influence. With the help of young and inexperienced interpreter Tarik, Jesper seeks the trust of the local community and the allied Afghani militia. More than ever, he discovers the immense differences between the two worlds. When the lives of Tarik and his sister Nala are threatened by the Taliban, conflicted Jesper is torn between his military obligations and his conscience. COMMENTS FROM WRITER-DIRECTOR FEO ALADAG ORIGIN OF THE PROJECT was necessary for the highest authenticity in easy to find other producers to bring on board I remember my feelings looking at a newspaper environment, cast and atmosphere. I believe this and work on this film – at least not in Germany photograph showing a German soldier in always fuels the story and the environment you’re – since most were scared off by the risk, financial Afghanistan back in 2002/3. It seemed like an creating and always reflects back into the finished and otherwise, such a production does involve. entirely new image – a fighting German soldier output. It was also my hope that by working Such a production is vulnerable and dependent deployed in a war-torn country in combat together closely with an Afghani team and cast on daily events and politics. Everything can run uniform, fully armed. It made me think about and the Afghani officials who helped secure our smoothly on Monday, then suddenly Tuesday Germany’s attitude towards its military. Why shooting, we could send a signal that peaceful and morning your production could be dead due was there no contemporary German movie fruitful cooperation on a cultural level between to circumstances beyond your control.

No longer a source of unreflective nostalgia for reactionaries, it is now being represented as a more nuanced entity that reflects the complexities of socialist society. The black and white narratives that shaped cultural memory of the GDR during the first fifteen years after the Wende have largely been replaced by more complicated tones of grey.

Sopravvissuta al campo di sterminio di Auschwitz, Nelly torna a Berlino, dov’è nata, gravemente ferita e col volto sfigurato. Ad accompagnarla c’è Lene, impiegata dell’Agenzia ebraica e amica di Nelly da prima della guerra. Senza neppure aspettare di essersi ripresa dall’intervento di chirurgia plastica al viso, e contro il parere di Lene, Nelly parte alla ricerca di suo marito, Johnny: l’uomo che ha cercato fino alla fine di proteggerla dalla persecuzione nazista. I familiari di Nelly sono tutti morti nell’olocausto. Johnny è convinto che anche sua moglie sia morta. Quando finalmente Nelly lo rintraccia, Johnny intravede solo una vaga somiglianza e non crede che possa trattarsi veramente di sua moglie. Per mettere al sicuro l’eredità della famiglia di lei, però, Johnny propone a Nelly di assumere l’identità della moglie morta. Nelly accetta e diventa l’impostora di se stessa. Vuole sapere se Johnny l’amava veramente, e se l’ha tradita. Vuole riprendersi la sua vita. 2 CHRISTIAN PETZOLD - Sceneggiatore, regista Nato nel 1960 a Hilden, in Germania, Petzold ha studiato prima letteratura tedesca e teatro alla Freie Universität Berlin (Libera Università di Berlino); e poi regia cinematografica al DFFB (Accademia del Cinema e della Televisione di Berlino).

    KINOSTART 5. DEZEMBER Stadtkino Filmverleih Tel. 01 522 48 14 Spittelberggasse 3/3, 1070 Wien office@stadtkinowien.at REGIE-STATEMENT Der erste Drehtag von „Phoenix“: Ein Birkenwäldchen, ein Mann in Wehrmachtsuniform, Frauen in KZ-Kleidung. Als Vorlage hatte uns ein Bild der Shoa-Foundation gedient, in grobkörniger Farbe, eine Waldkreuzung in einem impressionistischen Morgenlicht – und erst auf den zweiten Blick darin der Tod, die Leichen im Gras. Schon beim Drehen haben wir gemerkt, dass etwas nicht stimmte. Das Licht war gut, die Kadragen klar, das Bild schien uns auf präzise Art nachgestellt. Aber es ging nicht. Das Nachstellen des Schreckens, die Kinematographie in und um Auschwitz– als würden wir sagen: Jetzt ist es Zeit, jetzt fassen wir das alles als Erzählung zusammen, jetzt wird es eine Ordnung. Das Material vom ersten Drehtag haben wir weggeschmissen. Raul Hilberg hat geschrieben, dass sich der Terror der Nazis und der anhänglichen Bevölkerung im Grunde aus Techniken speiste, die lange bekannt waren. Das Neue, das waren die Vernichtungslager, die industrielle Vernichtung der Menschen. Für die alten Techniken gab es noch Literatur, Erzählungen, Gesänge. Für den Holocaust gibt es sie nicht mehr. Ein Text, der uns in der Vorbereitung sehr beeindruckt hat, war „Ein Liebesversuch“ von Alexander Kluge. Die Geschichte spielt in Auschwitz, die Nazis schauen durch Beobachtungsschlitze einem Paar in einem geschlossenen Raum zu, das sich einmal leidenschaftlich geliebt hat, so steht es in den Akten. Die Naziärzte versuchen diese Liebe wieder zu erwecken. Das Paar soll miteinander schlafen. Es soll verifiziert werden, ob die Sterilisation der Frau erfolgreich war. Man versucht alles: Champagner, rotes Licht, das Abspritzen mit eiskaltem Wasser, so dass vielleicht das Wärmebedürfnis die beiden wieder zusammenführt.

She’s accompanied by Lene, a Jewish Agency employee and Nelly’s friend from pre-war days. Having barely recovered from facial surgery, Nelly ignores Lene’s warnings and sets out to find her husband, Johnny – the love of her life who, by refusing to abandon their marriage, protected her from Nazi persecution for so long. Nelly’s family has been murdered in the Holocaust. Johnny is con- vinced that his wife, too, is dead. When Nelly finally tracks him down, he recognizes nothing but an unnerving resemblance and doesn’t believe it could really be her. Hoping to secure her family’s inheri- tance, Johnny suggests to Nelly that she take on the identity of his late wife. Nelly agrees: She becomes her own imposter. She wants to know whether Johnny loved her – and whether he betrayed her.
