Im Chor der katholischen Mädchenschule darf Celias Stimme nicht erklingen. In stummer Akzeptanz hat sie sich den konservativen Geboten einer von Farben und Individualität weitestgehend ent- sättigten Umgebung angepasst. Die Ankunft der neuen Mitschülerin Brisa rüttelt Celia aus ihrem Gleichmut und weckt an der Schwelle zur Adoleszenz ihr Begehren nach den verschiedenen Facetten und Nuancen des Lebens. Schnell werden die beiden Vertraute und Ver- bündete gegen die starren Regeln der Autoritäten. In kleinen Gesten der Rebellion findet Celia den Mut, ihre wachsenden Zweifel an der bestehenden Werteordnung im Spanien der 1990er-Jahre auszu- drücken. Sie formuliert Fragen nach ihrer Herkunft, über die Celias Mutter sich bislang ausgeschwiegen hat.

In the Catholic girls‘ school choir, Celia‘s voice must not be heard. But her mute acceptance of the conservative dictates of an environment utterly bereft of colour and individuality is soon shaken up by the arrival of a new classmate, Brisa. Standing on the threshold of adolescence, Celia discovers a thirst for life in all its multifaceted glory. A bond quickly develops between the two girls, and together they rail against the authority figures and their rigid rules. In small acts of rebellion, Celia finds the courage to express her growing distrust of the value system governing her world in 1990s Spain, as questions start to form about her own family background – a topic on which her mother has always kept silent.

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 ...

Giving a voice to the voiceless

From the moment the Berlinale programme was published, I wondered whether I was really the right person to write a review of this film. I still ask myself the same question. Since I couldn't bring myself to write a background article on this topic, I turn my review into a commentary and combine the two. It's a topic that has been close to my heart for years, that pushes me emotionally to the limit with every discussion and regularly makes me cry at the mere thought of it. This does not change in Victor Kossakovsky's film Gunda. I'm also emotionally charged by the end of the Berlinale, but the tears would have flown either way. We meet the three most used animals of the western world with incredible calmness and empathy. It begins with Gunda, a recent pig mum. She lovingly cares for her piglets, who all tumble over each other and want to have a drink. We are in the barn, very close to the family and are there when the little ones see the light of day for the first tim...

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...
