But now the sun has turned the entire world into baked and barren wasteland. Forests are scorched. Animal carcasses line the roads. Even the nights are dazzling bright. Marie, her little sister Leonie and Phillip are heading for the mountains in a car with covered windows. Rumor has it there is still water there. Along the way they run into Tom, a first-rate mechanic who becomes indispensible. But can they trust him? Tension grows in the small group. As if things weren’t bad enough, they are lured into an ambush. Their real battle for survival begins … 3 For further information: Beta Cinema Press, Dorothee Stoewahse, Tel: + 49 89 67 34 69 15, Mobile: + 49 170 63 84 627 [email protected] , www.betacinema.com . Pictures and filmclips available on ftp.betafilm.com , username: ftppress01, password: 8uV7xG3tB PRESS NOTES HELL is an atmospheric and tense thriller that lets the audience physically feel the psychological game with humanity's primal fears by using intense images and a penetrating storytelling method. Newcomer director Tim Fehlbaum, who won this year's Young German Cinema Award for Best Director at the Munich Film Festival, creates a realism the audience can't escape. Based on the strength of his short films ("Für Julian" won the renowned Shocking Shorts Award), Tim Fehlbaum is now making his cinematic debut with the feature film HELL. With Hannah Herzsprung ("Four Minutes," "The Baader Meinhof-Complex"), who delivers an impressive performance as the tender and yet strong Marie, the young and talented actress Lisa Vicari ("Hanni & Nanni") as the rebellious sister, Lars Eidinger ("Everyone Else") as the cowardly boyfriend, Stipe Erceg ("The Edukators") as the shady lone wolf, and the unstoppable Angela Winkler ("The Tin Drum"), Tim Fehlbaum has assembled a first-class cast. Raw, gripping, and visually impressive, HELL is a riveting story about a young woman who, in order to rescue her sister, is drawn into even more perilous pitfalls – more than she ever could have imagined. HELL was produced by Thomas Wöbke and Gabriele M. Walther (Caligari Film und Fernsehproduktions GmbH); co-producers are Ruth Waldburger (Vega Film AG) and Stefan Gärtner (SevenPictures Film). Executive producer is Roland Emmerich, who from the beginning was very enthusiastic about Fehlbaum's vision. LONG SYNOPSIS Beyond the deserted cities, where any chance of survival evaporates in the scorching heat and civilization is only a word, there is supposedly salvation. In the mountains. Difficult to reach. But word is out that there are clouds in the mountains, and only there, and rain falls from these clouds. Some water, at least. As precious as gold. Because not one blade of grass grows on earth anymore, and famine has wiped out most of the population after years ago the sun stopped nourishing life and started to relentlessly burn. In a beat-up old station wagon, which they have covered with observation slits and makeshift shields to ward off the scorching heat, Marie (Hannah Herzsprung) and her young sister, Leonie (Lisa Vicari), along with Marie's boyfriend Phillip (Lars Eidinger), make their way to a better future. Two adults and a teen in an unequal duel against nature. On top of everything, everybody's nerves are shattered after they had to bury their friends and families. They didn't choose to be thrown together like this. They had no other choice. After stopping at a deserted gas station to search for gas or some provisions, stumbling out of their car into the midday sun wearing hoods and masks like vampires, they soon have the uneasy feeling someone's watching them. And then they catch an emaciated stranger as he tries to steal their provisions, and for several dramatic moments the conflict threatens to escalate. But Phillip makes a strategic pact with the mysterious stranger called Tom (Stipe Erceg), although Marie and her frightened sister are very reluctant about this. Tom doesn't want to tell them anything about his past, but he can repair cars and seems to be experienced in the battle against the apocalypse. 4 For further information: Beta Cinema Press, Dorothee Stoewahse, Tel: + 49 89 67 34 69 15, Mobile: + 49 170 63 84 627 [email protected] , www.betacinema.com . Pictures and filmclips available on ftp.betafilm.com , username: ftppress01, password: 8uV7xG3tB After a long drive, they are forced to stop when an antenna pole blocks the road in the middle of the barren doomsday landscape in Central Europe. Then they discover a wrecked car at the foot of an embankment. The accident seems to be recent and there may be useful items inside they could salvage. But when the men start to strip the car and Marie is distracted briefly, several masked individuals jump into the station wagon and drive away – and kidnap young Leonie. Subsequently, Tom turns out to be much more courageous and more reliable than Phillip when it comes to rescuing Leonie. He locates the position of the primitive enemy and works out a plan with Marie for a surprise attack. But during the rescue attempt at night in an eerie forest of bare, coal- black trees with not even one single green leaf, they tremendously underestimate the number and relentlessness of their brutal opponents. This time Tom is also captured and Phillip is seriously injured; Phillip is too concerned with saving his own skin to be of much help. Now Marie is forced to face two threatening certainties. For one thing, she will be all alone when she has to go up against the superiority of the kidnappers, who are on familiar territory and know every hiding place to escape the deadly sunlight. And for another, she has to prepare herself for the fate that may await her – the gang is obviously interested in more than just provisions. But just as she despairs in the face of the hopelessness of her situation, she runs into an old woman farmer who is familiar with the terrain and has turned her farm into a sequestered hideout. To Marie she appears to be an oasis in the vast doomsday wasteland. Grateful, Marie regains her energy and tries to pull herself together – until she realizes in a panic that she has landed in the kidnappers' headquarters, and the answer to all of her questions lurks in the murky darkness of the cellar ... PRODUCTION NOTES Strictly speaking, Tim Fehlbaum has been working on HELL ever since he studied at the film and television academy HFF in Munich; he made the zombie film "Am Flaucher" as an exercise film, which antedates the subject matter and atmosphere of HELL to a certain extent. "Am Flaucher" was screened in 2006 at the film festival in Hof, Germany, where the Munich film producer Thomas Wöbke saw it. Wöbke, who produced popular and critical successes such as "23," "Crazy,” "Anatomy" and "Summer Storm" with his former colleague Jakob Claussen, thought Fehlbaum's exercise was very convincing. "We have in him a filmmaker," says Wöbke, "who doesn't create suspense with elaborate special effects, but rather with somber realism." Together with Fehlbaum's fellow student Oliver Kahl, who came to the project as co-screenwriter, Fehlbaum and Wöbke started working on the first draft of the screenplay, which was based on a developed treatment. "Originally, I wanted to make a classic genre film with zombies," recalls Fehlbaum, "and thanks to Thomas Wöbke, who insisted on an original story, in the end we came up with the idea about the sun." However, there isn't a realistic threat that Northern Europe will turn into a deadly furnace in the future – fortunately, various climate experts the filmmakers consulted said HELL's ghastly scenario would never occur. The scenario is the starting point of this doomsday thriller, which touches on primitive fears and paints the near future as a step back into the past, where the accomplishments of civilization are brutally replaced by raw barbarism. "The premise of HELL is a fantasy," explains Fehlbaum, "a 'what- 5 For further information: Beta Cinema Press, Dorothee Stoewahse, Tel: + 49 89 67 34 69 15, Mobile: + 49 170 63 84 627 [email protected] , www.betacinema.com .

Plummer Title: The Edukators Director: Hans Weingartner Country: Germany Year: 2004 Starring/Character: Daniel Brühl: Jan Julia Jentsch: Jule Stipe Erceg: Peter Burghart Klaußner: Hardenberg Writers: Katharina Held, Hans Weingartner Length: 127 minutes Language: German Location/Time of Action: Berlin, Germany, circa 2004 More information: http://imdb.com/title/tt0408777/ http://www3.ifcfilms.com/theedukators/ http://www.theedukators.com http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/edukators http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Edukators SUMMARY: The Edukators is about three young people living in present-day Berlin. Jule is a student who is horribly in debt as a result of an automobile accident. Early in the film she is evicted from her apartment, despite having finally paid six months worth of back rent. Her boyfriend, Peter, invites her to move in with him and his friend Jan. Jan and Peter are more than friends; they are partners in a political/social activism scheme. Calling themselves “The Edukators,” they break into the homes of extravagantly wealthy people. Instead of burglarizing the homes, they rearrange the valuables and leave a note with a lesson. The one at the beginning of the film reads, “Your days of plenty are numbered.” Jule learns of this secret life when Peter goes to Barcelona for three days, leaving her alone with Jan. Together, Jule and Jan break into the home of Hardenberg, the businessman whose car Jule crashed into. They leave Hardenberg a lesson that reads, “You have too much money.” Unfortunately, they also leave behind Jule’s cell phone. Jan and Jule return to Hardenberg’s house the following night to retrieve the phone and are interrupted by Hardenberg.

The radicalised children of the Nazi generation led by Andreas Baader (Moritz Bleibtreu), Ulrike Meinhof (Martina Gedeck) and Gudrun Ensslin (Johanna Wokalek) are fighting a violent war against what they perceive as the new face of fascism: American imperialism supported by the German establishment, many of whom have a Nazi past.

Biopolitical Education: The Edukators and the Politics of the Immanent Outside Abstract The article examines the relationship of biopower and cinema through the analysis of a specific film, Hans Weingartner’s The Edukators (2004). It argues that in the age of biopower, resistance to power cannot be conceived of in terms of a radical outside to power. Rather, biopolitical resistance must take place on the terrain of this power itself, that is, within the field of life. Therefore, what we call the “viral” politics of The Edukators must be interpreted precisely in this context.

I believe that we live in a time when young people crave political change, but truly don't know where to begin. Perhaps our societies have grown so individualistic that a collective dynamic is no longer possible. Hans Weingartner SYNOPSIS Jan, Peter and Jule are living out their rebellious youth. They are united by their passion to change the state of the world. Jan channels his anger into causes and at unfair politics of the rich. His hip roommate Peter shares the same ideals, but is much more relaxed. Peter's girlfriend Jule has just moved in because she can't make ends meet on her waitress' salary.

  • Friday Film Fest Series (Mercifully Omitted from the English-Subtitled Release)
    Summary prepared by Ed Cohen Rarely are German film makers invited to premiere their THE GERMAN SOCIETY’S work at the Cannes Film Festival – especially ones shot in grainy video, with little attention to scenic design, much improvisation, and an incomprehensible ending Friday Film Fest Series (mercifully omitted from the English-subtitled release). This one was so honored, probably because it says something significant about holding onto leftist ideals, despite die Wende and the demise of the Soviet empire. Like “Good-Bye Lenin!” this film is regarded as a milestone along the way of Vergangenheitsbewältigung. Jan (Daniel Brühl) and Peter (Stipe Erceg) are roommates in Berlin. By night, they break into the villas of the wealthy. They steal nothing, do minimal property damage, but make a bizarre political statement with the way they rearrange their victims’ belongings. On the walls they write, “ Die fetten Jahre sind vorbei ,” or “ Sie haben zu viel Geld .” They sign themselves, “ Die Erziehungsberechtigten .” (The faux-German word, “Edukators,” invented for the English-subtitled release, never occurs in the film). Peter’s girlfriend, Jule (Julia Jentsch), works doggedly as a waitress to pay off her €100,000 debt to the wealthy executive, Hardenberg (Burghart Klaußner). Driving uninsured, she had rear-ended his enormous Mercedes. When forced to give up her apartment, Jule moves in with Die fetten Jahre sind vorbei (The Edukators) Peter and Jan. They become a triangle. Jan and Jule go to Hardenberg’s villa, to give it the Credits : Erziehungsberechtigten treatment. Jule loses her Handy . Director: Hans Weingartner They go back to retrieve it – and find Hardenberg at Screenplay: Katharina Held home… Photography: Daniela Knapp, Matthias Schellenberg Producer: Hans Weingartner For its first third, “The Edukators” seems to revive French Production Co: SWR, Arte “New Wave.” In its middle, it proceeds like a crime Production year: 2004 caper.

SYNOPSIS Young Hannah is temporarily living with her mother and her little brother in the Olympic Village at Innsbruck. One day she breaks in at Max’s, who lives alone in a modern villa. Time and again Hannah secretly explores his seemingly austere house, until Max begins to notice subtle changes.

DIRECTORS’ STATEMENT SPEECH/SPEECHLESSNESS What interests me about the figure of Hannah is her situation, as a person who cannot communicate with those closest, like family mem- bers, because a common language is missing.
