La consagración definitiva ¿Cuál fue el punto de partida para hacer la película? del cine de Schanelec ha llegado con “Estaba en Casa, El punto de partida es la imagen de un chico de unos Pero…”, conquistando el Oso de Plata a Mejor Dirección en la 13 años que regresa.

Actors mingle and clash in the best possible lighting, and conversation is fraught with wit and emotion. The director usually gets the bulk of the credit. But before he or she can play the consummate host, someone must carefully select the right guests, send out the invites, and keep track of the RSVPs”. ‘OSCARS: The Role Of Casting Director’ by Monica Corcoran Harel, The Deadline Team, December 6, 2012 Playing one of the key roles in creating that successful “dinner” is the Casting Director, but someone who is often over-looked in the recognition department. Everyone sees the actor at work, but very few people see the hours of research, the intrinsic skills, the gut instinct that the Casting Director puts into finding just the right person for just the right role. It’s a mix of routine and inspiration which brings the characters we come to love, and sometimes to hate, to the big screen. The Casting Director’s delicate work as liaison between director, actors, their agent/manager and the studio/network figures prominently in decisions which can make or break a project. It’s a job that can't garner an Oscar, but its mighty importance is always felt behind the scenes. In July 2013, the Academy of Motion Pictures of Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) created a new branch for Casting Directors, and we are thrilled that a number of members of the International Casting Directors Network are amongst the first Casting Directors invited into the Academy.

  • Thomas Arslan's Films in the Context of the Berlin School
    ACTA UNIV. SAPIENTIAE, FILM AND MEDIA STUDIES, 3 (2010) 143–155 A “Nouvelle Vague Allemande”? Thomas Arslan’s films in the context of the Berlin School Thomas Schick Film and Television Academy (HFF) “Konrad Wolf,” Potsdam-Babelsberg (Germany) E-mail: [email protected] Abstract. Since the beginning of the 1990s the directors Christian Petzold, Angela Schanelec and Thomas Arslan tried to break new ground within the German cinema by telling simple stories from everyday life with very little dramatic emphasis. Other filmmakers like Christoph Hochhäusler, Benjamin Heisenberg or Valeska Grisebach continued to follow that path and searched for new cinematic means to depict contemporary everyday life. Film criticism labelled this group of young German directors with the term “Berlin School” (“Berliner Schule”). The filmmakers of the Berlin School don’t pursue a naïve notion of realism, their films rather try to detect the core of reality. One important source of inspiration for them is the movements of auteur filmmaking, somehow founded by the directors of the Nouvelle Vague. It is no coincidence that the Berlin School is called “Nouvelle Vague Allemande” in France. In my article I try to show some characteristic features and stylistic innovations of the Berlin School by analyzing Thomas Arslan’s work more closely. His films like Dealer (1999) or A fine Day (Der schöne Tag, 2001) show an extraordinary formal rigour and a special relationship towards contemporary German reality. In my analysis of Arslan’s movies I especially try to shed some light on the questions which special stylistic means he employs, how he manages it to produce an impression of realism, although using highly stylized filmic devices, and which relations to French filmmakers and auteur filmmaking may be discernable.

Her adolescent son Phillip (Jakob Lassalle) disappeared for a week and now that he has returned, he faces disciplinary action at school and his toe requires amputation. As new questions confront Astrid from every angle, even simple activities like buying a bicycle or engaging with a work of art, are fraught with unexpected challenges. In her signature elliptical style and with a gentle sense of humor, Schanelec weaves together these narrative strands and more—a school production of Hamlet, a pair of teachers deciding whether to start a family, a donkey and a dog who share a home—to create an indelible picture of a small community grappling with fundamental questions of existence.
