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.

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...

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 ...

The country of possibilities?

"We want to go Disney. One ticket please." - a review of Los Lobos It is the hope that drives the family to the USA. The hope for a better life, less violence, away from the father. A mother with her two sons, who from now on have to spend their time alone in a run-down room. Samuel Kishi Leopo tells the story of his own childhood in Los Lobos, backed up by his brother's music. The brothers Maximiliano and Leonardo Nájar Márquez give an incredible performance. Due to the warm atmosphere on set and the improvisation of Martha Reyes Arias, who plays the mother, it is not difficult for the two to act completely natural. There was a script, but it served more to define the plot than for the dialogues, because Martha gave the two boys all the freedom during the shooting and adapted to it and not only implemented Samuel's instructions herself, but also transferred them to the two boys. The enthusiasm of the audience can be felt from the very first second. The U...
