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.

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 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 ...
