Programmheft 2006 Zum Download Entdeckungen der Filmfestivals von Cannes, Locarno und Venedig – erstmals in Berlin ���������������� ������������� 01. - 09.12.2006 Das Berliner Independent Filmfestival im Babylon Mitte www.berlinbabylon14.net www.babylonberlin.de unser festival Liebe Kinobesucher, „Around The World In 14 Films“ zeigt 14 herausragende internationale Independent-Filmpro- duktionen, einmal rund um den Globus. Highlights der weltweit führenden Filmfestivals wie Cannes, Locarno und Venedig. 14 Filme aus 14 völlig unterschiedlichen Ländern und Kultur- kreisen. Wir laden zu einer filmischen Weltreise ein. Einer Reise, die uns von zentralen Regionen Lateinamerikas über die Vereinigten Staaten nach Afrika, durch ausgewählte Länder Europas und Russland in den Nahen Osten führt, und die weiter über den Iran, den Indischen Subkon- tinent und Fernost bis nach Australien reicht. All diese 14 Werke des jungen Weltkinos sind erstmals in Berlin zu sehen und waren dem Publikum bisher nur auf Festivals zugänglich. Dort hochgelobt und preisgekrönt sind diese Filme dennoch weitgehend ohne deutschen Verleih ge- blieben. „Around The World In 14 Films“ gibt dem Berliner Publikum erstmals die Möglichkeit, diese cineastischen Juwelen zu entdecken, zu diskutieren und zu feiern. Dem interkulturellen Austausch gilt dabei unser primäres Interesse. So präsentiert jeweils ein deutscher Filmkünstler vor Ort eine der 14 internationalen Produktionen. 14 deutsche Regisseure übernehmen die „Pa- tenschaft“ für die 14 eingeladenen Filme, führen das Publikum mit den internationalen Regis- seuren, falls anwesend, zusammen und leiten eine Diskussion im Anschluss an die Vorstellung. Jeder Film, mit Ausnahme des Abschlussfilms, wird zweimal gezeigt. Eine der beiden Vorstellun- gen jedes Films wird von einem „Paten“ begleitet. Darüberhinaus wird jedem der ausgewählten Werke ein vorrangig in Berlin und Brandenburg produzierter Kurzfilm vorangestellt. Die jungen Berliner Nachwuchsregisseure können somit ihre ersten Arbeiten in einem anspruchsvollen und internationalen Kontext präsentieren. In einer Sondervorführung wird ein herausragender neuer deutscher Film seine Berlin-Premiere feiern. Kulinarisches und unsere gemütliche Festivallounge im Babylon Mitte warten auf begegnungsfreudige Gäste. Erleben Sie mit uns zusammen das unabhängige Weltkino – neun Tage lang in Berlin.

Im Outback treffen zwei Männer aufeinander. Johann, ein deutscher Kriegsflüchtling, und Ranulpho, auf dem Weg aus der ewigen Dürre. Von Dorf zu Dorf tin- gelnd zeigen sie der staunenden Landbevölkerung einen Werbetrailer, um eine neue Wundermedizin zu verkaufen. Für beide der Beginn eines neuen Lebens. Eleganter Roadmovie, der den Zuschauer auf seiner Reise mitnimmt. Einer Reise, die wie das Kino selbst, einer unwirtlichen Welt einen individualistischen Lebensentwurf entgegensetzt. It is 1942 and there’s a war in Europe – but that is far from the dry back country of Brasil. Here two men – a German hiding from the war and a Brasilian trying to escape the endless, eternal desert – tra- vel from village to village in a ramshackle truck, advertising a new wonder medicine. Using an unusual visual style, and maintaining an incredible closeness with its characters, the film follows the two men – on a road from nowhere to nowhere, but very much going somewhere.

Flama und Moko sind 14, dicke Freunde und – sie genießen „sturmfreie Bude“. Videospiele, Pornomagazine, Cola und Pizza. Wären da nicht die nervige, gleichaltrige Nachbarin Rita, ein penetranter Pizzabote und ein spießiges Entengemälde. Lakonisches Kammerspiel, das mit Leichtigkeit und Witz von den vielfältigen Umbrüchen in der urbanen, mexikanischen Gesellschaft erzählt. „Wenn das Licht verschwindet, kann man die Sterne sehen.“ Take two teenagers left home for the weekend – add the pizza deliveryman who refuses to leave – plus the girl next door who comes over to use the oven, and what do you get? Video games, pizza, a cake with a special ingredient, a bit of danger, wonderful comedy, warmth, and a strong sense of camara- derie. Ozu and Jarmusch are cited as influences, and though Jarmusch is present, it is Ozu who lends intelligence, subtlety and visual style to this wonder of a film.

Ein musikali- sches Kinomärchen, das dem mittellosen Alltag der Straßenkinder zwischen Diebstählen, Flirts, Filmen und Fussball mit magischer Phantasie begegnet. Dokumentation, Burleske und Feier des Kinos, von den staubigen Straßen über John Wayne bis ins Weltall. A little magic, a lot of music, and an unquenchable optimism fill this vibrant modern urban fairytale with an infectious lightness, energy and joie de vivre. In the dusty streets of Ouagadougou, ten friends refuse to believe their dreams are unattainable, especially if you’re not above a little bit of opportunistic larceny. And when everything seems to be going wrong – there’s nothing like a little luck to set things right. A wonderful, life affirming film.

    4€ Design graphique : Marion Tigréat / www.mariontigreatportfolio.com Lyannaj ! Une expression découverte ici à la faveur du mouvement populaire qui a agité La Guadeloupe, La Martinique… Et la « métropole » au début du printemps. Si le vocable Pwofitation a lui aussi connu un grand succès public, c’est au Lyannaj que nous dédions notre 9ème édition. Formidable langue créole qui nous offre ce mot en partage… Littéralement « lianer », c’est nouer, relier, vivre ensemble, et faire ensemble. Or depuis 2001, notre propos est justement de créer ce « Lyannaj » à Groix. Les insulaires et les amoureux des îles s’y retrouvent autour du cinéma, de la musique, et des débats. Lyannaj… à Sri Lanka. Notre île invitée en a bien besoin ! L'actuelle défaite militaire de la rebellion séparatiste tamoul met fin à près de 30 ans d'un conflit qui aura fait plus de 80 000 morts. Sans partis pris, autre que celui des populations civiles, nous avons invité des personnalités qui défendent la paix, la démocratie, et le « vivre ensemble », toutes confessions et ethnies confondues. En partenariat avec Amnesty International, nous vous proposons une vingtaine de films en provenance de l’île « aux mille sourires » et aux mille peines, en majorité inédits en France. Lyannaj toujours, mais cette fois contre la pwofitation. Nous vous invitons, par des films et des débats, à revenir sur le formidable séisme qui a secoué La Guadeloupe et la Martinique, avant de nous arrêter une nouvelle fois chez leur voisine Haïti. Nous la fêterons à travers des documentaires et des concerts afin d’amorcer notre futur partenariat avec la commune des Abricots et son maire Jean-Claude Fignolé.

  • Trailblazers of Fine Arts
    Kaushalya Fernando T RAILBLAZERS OF FINE ARTS ...: She belongs to a new generation of artistes Face to Face by Ranga Chandrarathne Jackson Anthony's venomous attack on Kaushalya's acting once condemned her as an actress who is willing to expose 'ugly nudity, and categorised her as one among a group of actors including Hemasiri Liyanage, W.Jayasiri, Mahendra Perera and Saumya Liyanage. He also condemned this group's application of the media, as those films were not aesthetic creations, but creations based on delirious thoughts. It is surprising to hear a person who had worked with progressive directors like Dharmasiri Bandaranayake and the late Sugathapala de Silva making such petty and baseless remarks on serious and ground-braking creative work. Career Kaushalya did not want to comment on the adverse remarks. In her trailblazing career, she has acted in many stage dramas including 'Vikurti', 'Katandara Dekak' by her mother Somalatha Subasinghe, 'Punthila' a play directed by a Finnish theatre director and Sugathapala de Silva's 'Marat Sade' for which Kaushalya won Special Award of the Jury. Among the stage plays she acted are Dharmasiri Bandaranaike's 'Dhawala Bheeshana' for which she won the best actress's award, Somalatha Subasinghe's 'Antigone', 'Dona Kathirina', 'Yadam' and 'Nambukara Vilasiniya'. In most of these stage plays, Kaushalya won either Best Actress's Award or Best Supporting Actress's Award. For Asoka Handagama's 'Dunhida Addara' and 'Sanda Dadayama', Kaushalya won the Best Actress's Award and the Best Actress's Critic's Award. Handagama's 'Diyakata Pahana', Sudath Mahadiulwewe's 'Wanaspathi', Bertram Nihal's 'Isuru Gira' were some of the other teledramas she acted in.

  • Provenance in Personal Documentary: My Mother's Village Aaron Burton
    Provenance in Personal Documentary: My Mother's Village Aaron Burton A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Media Arts) UNSW Australia Art & Design The University of New South Wales October 2014 Abstract My Mother's Village is a personal documentary response to The Sri Lanka Series (1980), a series of ethnographic films produced by the author's anthropologist mother, Sharon Bell, and filmmaker father, Geoff Burton. Four women, a community of fishermen, and a dance instructor were the 'subjects' of their three films. The feature length film My Mother's Village revisits the same participants in Sri Lanka and pursues the original themes and issues, such as economic conditions, the status of women, colonialism, religion, ritual, and inter-generational change. My Mother's Village explores how both the filmmaker and participants are navigating heredity and inheritance. Supplementing the film, the exegesis component, Provenance in Personal Documentary interrogates the conceptual underpinnings of the creative research. 'Provenance', the key concept informing the production of My Mother's Village is a fine art term specifically ‘repractised’ and retheorised here. It is hypothesised that cross-disciplinary personal documentary production is a fertile environment that responds to increasingly accessible technologies and progressive interpretations of what contemporary ‘documentary’ means. This research project responds to the lack of a critical framework for interpreting and developing inter-disciplinary documentary praxis. The experimental methods employed in the provenance of My Mother's Village extend to the adoption of an auto-ethnographic and autobiographical mode of storytelling in this exegesis. This marriage of creativity and scholarly research is further reflected in the relationship between the exegesis and corresponding personal documentary film production.

  • In Post-War Sri Lankan Memory Culture
    ABSTRACT ‘LABORS OF MEMORY’ AND ‘GUERILLA-TYPES OF ATTRITION’ IN POST-WAR SRI LANKAN MEMORY CULTURE by Dinidu Priyanimal Karunanayake Speaking of Sri Lanka’s civil war against the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam, Ananda Abeysekara observes an authorization of a power dynamic between Buddhism, the state head, and the nation. The official end of the war on May 19, 2009 has reaffirmed this religio- national power grid. Correspondingly, the religious fervor has become an indispensable ingredient in post-war memory culture. This thesis concentrates on state-sanctioned memory work and the ways in which it is resisted by artists who draw from memories of trauma. Using Sarath Weerasekara’s Gamani (2011), this thesis explores the “uses and abuses” of memory (Jelin) in the state–sponsored post–war cinema. The thesis also examines how this hegemonic memory narrative is deconstructed, through a close reading of Sanjeewa Pushpakumara’s Flying Fish (2011), and engages with the work of artists Thamotharapillai Sanaathanan and Bandu Manamperi. It thus shows how memories are merged with a quest for justice. ‘LABORS OF MEMORY’ AND ‘GUERILLA-TYPES OF ATTRITION’ IN POST-WAR SRI LANKAN MEMORY CULTURE A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of Miami University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Department of English by Karunanayake Pathirannehelage Dinidu Priyanimal Miami University Oxford, Ohio 2014 Advisor________________________ Professor Nalin Jayasena Reader_________________________ Professor Anita Mannur Reader_________________________
