Im Radio wird vom geplanten Bau des fast 300 Kilometer langen El Gran Canal berichtet, der den Atlantik mit dem Pazifik verbinden soll. Die Nachrichtenstimme klingt weit entfernt, doch trifft das Vorhaben die indigene Gemeinde Bangkukuk im Süden Nicaraguas schwer. 120.000 Menschen droht die Zwangsumsiedlung. Auch Perro und seine Großmutter müssen um ihre Heimat fürchten. Die Älteren be- rufen sich auf Gott, mit Gebeten möchte die Großmutter den Jungen beschützen. Perro zieht weiterhin mit seinen Freunden durch den Dschungel, geht fischen, kümmert sich um die Tiere auf der kleinen Farm. Als sein Lehrer von der Schule abgezogen wird, muss Perro in die Stadt zu seiner Tante. In genauen Beobachtungen folgt der Film dem schweigsamen Jungen, erzählt vom unabwendbaren Abschied und Neubeginn.

On the radio, they are talking about the planned construction of the nearly 300-kilometre-long El Gran Canal to connect the Atlantic with the Pacific. The voices sound far away, but these plans hold devastating implications for the Indigenous Bangkukuk community in southern Nicaragua. Among the 120,000 people facing forced displacement are Perro and his grandmother. As the older people look to God for help, she too prays for her grandson’s protection while he roams the jungle with his friends, goes fishing and looks after the animals on their small farm. When the local school is closed down, Perro has to go and live with his aunt in the city. Keenly perceptive, this film follows the quiet boy in a tale of inevitable farewell and new beginnings.

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...
