Rätselhafte Bilder und ein ebenso rätselhafter Klangteppich stimmen auf eine Reise von Porto Alegre in die konservative Provinz des brasilianischen Südens ein. Eine Reise voller Wunder, die das Leben zweier Schwestern grundlegend verändern wird. Julia, die Jüngere, ahnt es nur, während Ana genau weiß, dass nun nichts mehr so sein wird, wie es einmal war. Während der Asteroid WF42 mit berstendem pinken Lichtschweif auf die Erde zusteuert, sollen die beiden auf Wunsch ihrer todkranken Mutter nach ihrem Vater suchen. Mit feministischem Selbstverständnis fordern sie das ländliche Idyll heraus. Die Landschaft erscheint in einem unbekannten Licht, Wind zieht auf. Zwischen eindringlichen Gesangseinlagen, Geistern und Fossilien löst der Film die Grenzen zwischen äußeren und inneren Realitäten auf.

Mysterious images and an equally mysterious soundtrack underlay a journey from Porto Alegre to the conservative countryside of southern Brazil. A journey full of wonders that will profoundly change the two sisters‘ lives. Julia, the younger girl, has a vague inkling, whereas Ana knows for certain that nothing will be the same. While the asteroid WF42 is heading towards the earth with a bursting tail of pink light, their terminally ill mother asks them to find their father. They challenge the rural idyll with their feminist energy. The landscape appears in an unknown light, wind comes up. With haunting songs, ghosts and fossils, the film blurs the border between external and internal reality.

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...
