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.

About the Perception of Women in Spain in the 90s

Las Niñas is a film in this year’s Generation program with a strong young female protagonist first becoming aware of the world’s inequalities between boys and girls and its injustices. It is set in the 90s in Spain. I was lucky enough to get in tough with the films director Pilar Palomero and ask her a few questions: freie Generation Reporter: Can you tell me a bit about the background of the film? Pilar Palomero: The film is not autobiographical, but a lot of my childhood experiences have flown into Las Niñas. A few years ago, when I was thinking about making a film about my education, I found my notebook from my religion class in grade 6. I read an essay, which is exactly the one that appears in the film, where the nun explains the girls sexuality. At the first moment I laughed at the thought of what kind of education we got but then I started to realise how contradictory it was. It was 1992 and they were talking to us about sexuality, chastity and only having sex in the marriage...

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 ...
