Neugierig und selbstbewusst erkundet die dreijährige Zhana über mehrere Sommertage hinweg ihre Umgebung. Auf ihrem Weg macht sie Entdeckungen und erlebt mutige, kleine Abenteuer. Sie hüpft durch Pfützen, lernt Katzen und Hunde kennen und macht sich ihren eigenen Reim auf die Spiele der älteren Kinder. Zhanas Welt sind die Spielplätze, die kleinen, friedlichen Straßen und Plätze einer bulgari- schen Wohnsiedlung, in der die Zeit stehen geblieben zu sein scheint. Immer auf Augenhöhe begleitet das dokumentarische Porträt seine aufgeweckte Protagonistin auf ihrem Weg und entfaltet zugleich eine Poesie der Schlichtheit.

Full of curiosity and self-confidence, three- year-old Zhana explores her surroundings over the course of several summer days. Making discoveries as she goes and bravely having small adventures, she skips through puddles, gets to know some cats and a dog and freely interprets the games of the older children. Zhana’s own little magic world is on the playgrounds and small peaceful streets and squares of a Bulgarian housing estate where time seems to have stood still. Told intimately through the child‘s-eye view, this documentary accompanies its bright protagonist through her everyday life and creates a portrait of poetic simplicity.

The wind phone as an emotional escape

After Yuki & Nina in the 2009 Kplus programme, Nobuhiro Suwa returns to the Generation programme with another film. His new film Kaze No Denwa is in the 14+ programme. The day after the world premiere he takes a whole hour for Clara and me to answer our questions about the shooting process, the situation in Japan and other things. We make ourselves comfortable in the lounge of the Hotel Berlin, Berlin and exchange thoughts about Kaze No Denwa, Japan and the world with nice background music, while Isabelle kindly translates for us. Free Generation Reporters : How did the film team come together and how did you find Serena Motola, Haru's actress? Nobuhiro Suwa : It has been 18 years since I shot my last film in Japan. Since 2002, I have actually only worked with French producers. So I didn't know most of my new colleagues before. It was all very exciting and I was quite nervous, but everything went well. We did a casting for Haru, several girls showed up, but in the end ...

Between uproars and spa days

Hong Kong, July 28, 2019. Screaming, tear gas, gunfire. One, two, retreat from the front line, push forward. We are in the midst of Hong Kong's protests and uprisings last summer. We march with the masses, hiding behind the shields, seeing our comrades shouting commands, keeping moving, fainting, being carried away. Everything is chaotic and frightening, but still organized and controlled. For 15 minutes I hold my breath, my heart is racing and at the same time keeps skipping beats. It is suffocating. Incredibly suffocating to experience a day of the Hong Kong riots so close. In my holiday-influenced July, I did hear and read about the situation, but unfortunately I didn't learn about it too much. Therefore, it feels even more extreme to be thrown into this moment at the beginning of the 14+ Short Film Roll 2. Despite the brevity of the film, one arrives immediately within the scene. The camera fits seamlessly into the group dynamics. Everyone around is too busy to shy away ...

The language of visuals

„They take the gold and throw away the chest. That chest is our country.“ Mongolia is considered to be one of the ten most resource-rich countries in the world. Foreign investors have transformed one fifth of Mongolia to mining areas. Nature is being destroyed, the daily life of local people is affected. Byambasuren Davaa, known for „The story of a weeping camel“, takes her new feature film „Veins of the World“ to this year's Berlinale Generation, in which she portraits a nomad family, living in a region that is about to become mining area. In strong cinematographic pictures, the film tells a story about a young boy and his big dream, about the loss of a father, about love to nature and the soul of Mongolian mountains. THE NATURE “Veins of the world” transports a feeling for Mongolian nature through its powerful visuals. Panoramas of Mongolian nature and mining areas alternate with close-ups of the nomads and their changing life. The man behind those strong cinematic pictures i...
