Die Erde bebt und die Gefühle brodeln. Gerade noch war für Paolo und seine Freund*innen das neue Nintendo-Spiel das Aufregendste im Leben, und die gelegentlichen Stromausfälle, verursacht durch den nahe gelegenen Vulkan Pinatubo, stellten ihre größte Sorge dar. Doch schon bald wirbeln Mädchen mit buntem Haarschmuck, krude Männlichkeitsrituale und eine geheimnisvolle Geisterjagd den Alltag der Clique in dem beschaulichen Vorort von Manila durchein- ander. Zwischen den emotionalen Epizentren bewahrt anscheinend nur Mimaw einen kühlen Kopf. Raya Martin inszeniert eine in den 1990er-Jahren verortete, poppig-sommerliche Hommage ans Heran- wachsen, in der nicht nur die Eissorten die Farbe wechseln, sondern auch die Beziehungen, der Humor und die Lebensentwürfe.

The earth is trembling and emotions are running hot. Just yesterday the newest game from Nintendo was all Paolo and his friends could think about – while the occasional blackouts caused by the nearby volcano Pinatubo were their biggest concern. Alas, all that has been shaken up forever for Paolo’s sleepy suburban Manila clique, in a dawning world of elaborate feminine hair-dos, crude rituals of masculinity and a mysterious ghost hunt. Mimaw appears to be the only one able to keep a clear head among aftershocks from multiple emo- epicentres. Raya Martin has created a warm, breezy homage to puberty and adolescence with a pop touch, set in the 1990s, in which the protagonists’ relationships, sensibilities and life plans take on new hues.

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 ...
