SUMMARY:Lara
DESCRIPTION:Lara’s day seems to start like any other — with a cup of tea and a cigarette. Still\, today is a very special day for two reasons: Not only is it her 60th birthday\, but for the first time\, her son Victor is also giving a grand solo performance of piano music he composed himself. However\, unlike Viktor‘s father Paul and his new girlfriend\, Lara is not invited. Nevertheless\, Lara has her own plans for the day. She buys the last tickets for the show and distributes them according to her very idiosyncratic ways. In any case\, the events of the day unfold in a completely unexpected manner. \nCorinna Harfouch is one of Germany’s most respected actresses. Whether on the movie screen\, television\, or the theater stage\, for over 30 years she has captivated audiences with her versatility\, depth\, and passion. She has been honored multiple times for her superlative performances. \nJan-Ole Gerster – 2019 – 98’ – drama\nLanguage: German with Greek subtitles

SUMMARY:Jenseits des Sichtbaren - Hilma af Klint / Beyond the visible - Hilma af Klint
DESCRIPTION:The art world makes a sensational discovery – just 100 years too late. In 1906 Hilma af Klint paints her first abstract picture\, long before Kandinsky\, Mondrian or Malewitsch. In total\, she creates over 1500 abstract paintings\, which remain hidden from posterity for decades. How could it be that a woman founded abstract painting at the beginning of the 20th century and no one took any notice of it? \nThis cinematic approach to a pioneer whose sensual work fascinates\, not only artistically\, shows a lifelong search for meaning that seeks to grasp life beyond the visible. Hilma af Klint’s extraordinary world of thought ranges from biology and astronomy to theosophy and the theory of relativity\, spanning a fascinating cosmos of unique images and notes. \nToday\, the artist inspires millions with her unrestrained thinking\, which culminates in an overwhelming oeuvre and turns the historiography of art on its head. \n  \nDirected by: Halina Dyrschka \nProduction: Eva Illmer\, Halina Dyrschka \nMusic:   Damian Scholl \nCinematography: Alicja Pahl\, Luana Knipfer \nFilm editing: Antje Lass\, Mario Orias

SUMMARY:International Short Film Festival Oberhausen Award winners 2020
DESCRIPTION:Following the great success of last year’s Oberhausen International Short Film Festival Tour\, Artos House in collaboration with the Goethe-Institut are proud to welcome the screening of the programs ‘Award winners 2020’ on the 19th of November\, the ‘International Competition’ on the 20th of November and the ‘Made in Germany 3’ on the 21st of November at 20:00\, at ARTos House. \nIn the course of six decades\, the International Short Film Festival Oberhausen has developed into one of the most highly acclaimed cultural events worldwide – a place where renowned figures like Agnès Varda\, Martin Scorsese\, Alexander Kluge and Werner Herzog first showed their films. Oberhausen is the world’s oldest short film festival and in the meantime also enjoys an excellent standing in the art scene\, where short films and videos play an increasingly important role today \nScreening 19th of November\nThis selection of winners of the 2020 festival also includes works that have even received several awards. Sohrab Hura’s “Bittersweet” is a reflection on family relationships and domestic spaces\, exploring the bond between the filmmaker and his mother and that between his mother and her beloved dog. Hura uses his grainy flash shots to sensitively capture intimate and banal moments in the life of his mother\, who suffers from acute paranoid schizophrenia. In Bjørn Melhus’ elaborately produced science fiction film “SUGAR”\, a robot attempts to free the inhabitant of a post-apocalyptic consumer world from the prison of his routines through physical proximity. The finely staged “Shepherds” by Teboho Edkins shows cattle thieves serving time in a prison in Lesotho. They talk about their lives and why they came here. The closed room becomes a stage for universal dramas of mankind. In “A Month of Single Frames”\, on the other hand\, Lynne Sachs processes material that was given to her by filmmaker and performance artist Barbara Hammer shortly before her death. The result is an expressive study of life in all its forms and the difficulty of facing death. The film\, which was awarded the Grand Prize of the City of Oberhausen\, is convincing in its ability to find poetry and complexity in simple things. \n  \nAward Winners\n  \nA Month of Singles Frames \nLynne Sachs\,USA 2019\, \ncolour\, English\, 14‘ \n  \nShepherds \nTeboho Edkins\, France/South Africa/Germany \n2020\, colour\, Sotho with English subs\, 27‘ \n  \nBittersweet \nSohrab Hura\, India 2019\, \ncolour and b/w\, English\, 14‘ \n  \nSUGAR \nBjørn Melhus\, Germany 2019\, \ncolour and b/w\, English\, 20‘30‘‘

SUMMARY:International Short Film Festival Oberhausen ‘International Competition’
DESCRIPTION:Following the great success of last year’s Oberhausen International Short Film Festival Tour\, Artos House in collaboration with the Goethe-Institut are proud to welcome the screening of the programs ‘Award winners 2020’ on the 19th of November\, the ‘International Competition’ on the 20th of November and the ‘Made in Germany 3’ on the 21st of November at 20:00\, at ARTos House. \nIn the course of six decades\, the International Short Film Festival Oberhausen has developed into one of the most highly acclaimed cultural events worldwide – a place where renowned figures like Agnès Varda\, Martin Scorsese\, Alexander Kluge and Werner Herzog first showed their films. Oberhausen is the world’s oldest short film festival and in the meantime also enjoys an excellent standing in the art scene\, where short films and videos play an increasingly important role today \nScreening 20th of November\nThis programme brings together some of the most interesting films from the 2020 International Competition. In 1982 the indigenous Zoque community was forced to relocate due to the eruption of a volcano. “( ( ( ( ( /*\ ) ) ) ) ) )” is the portrait of a village in Chiapas\, Mexico\, its culture\, sounds and architecture. The film documents the modern challenges and world view of a community that is also under political pressure to preserve its land and rights. Indigenous culture also plays an important role in the feature film “O Jardim Fantástico”. Here\, following an old tradition\, a teacher administers ayahuasca in her classroom to teach her students other levels of reality. In “BELLA” by Thelyia Petraki\, the boundaries between feature film and documentary become blurred when\, in Greece in the late 1980s\, first the country\, then the world\, and perhaps even her personal environment undergoes serious change before the eyes of the idealistic worker Anthi. In “Gira Ancora” an adolescent roams his neighbourhood in Palermo. In the tradition of Neorealism\, the camera lets us participate in the life of this community and at the same time shows how the rumours about his mother gradually make him an outsider. The protagonist’s world contracts in ever tighter circles. \nInternational Competition\nThe Fantastic Garden \nTico Dias/Fábio Baldo\, Brazil 2019\, \ncolour\, Portuguese with English subs\, 21‘ \n  \n( ( ( ( ( /*\ ) ) ) ) ) \nSaúl Kak/Charles Fairbanks\, Mexico 2019\, \ncolour\, Spanish with English subs\, 18‘30‘‘ \n  \nBELLA \nThelyia Petraki\, Greece 2020\, colour\, \nGreek\, English\, Russian with English subs\, 24‘30‘‘ \n  \nOne More Round \nElena Petitpierre\, Switzerland 2019\, \ncolour\, Italian with English subs\, 22‘

SUMMARY:In Bewegung bleiben / Keep moving
DESCRIPTION:In January 1988\, Birgit Scherzer’s “Keith” is a phenomenal hit at the Komische Oper in Berlin\, capital of the GDR. The dance piece marks the young choreographer’s breakthrough. Seven dancers perform in “Keith”. Less than a year later\, four of them – including Birgit herself – will have left the GDR\, some of them fleeing during guest performances for the “class enemy”. \nThese dancers\, most of whom come from “modest” backgrounds\, have been trained by the state to be top performers. As an artistic elite and the public face of the GDR\, they are allowed to travel to the West in order to shine their light far and wide. Their families in the GDR are bargaining chips against their defecting. At first\, the creative atmosphere at the Komische Oper forms a protective shield against ideological strictures\, but at the end of the 1980s the pressure increases. In the months leading up to the fall of the Wall – an event that no one has foreseen – many ensemble members are faced with a crucial decision: to stay or to leave. \nFilmmaker Salar Ghazi was friends with some of the dancers at the time. Now he has sought them out to look back and reflect on events. Their memories and private VHS footage create a complex picture that brings to life the zeitgeist just before German Reunification. \nDirected by: Salar Ghazi \nProduction: Salar Ghazi \nMusic:   Gert Anklam\, Beate Gatscha \nCinematography: Salar Ghazi

In 1984 six Turkish citizens died in Duisburg-Wanheimerort in an arson attack. While the police quickly ruled out a racist background\, from today’s point of view there is a lot of circumstantial evidence to prove it. “Dunkelfeld” goes in search of clues and reopens the case. In the animation “Brand”\, an East German mayor and his family are met with a wave of hatred when he agrees to take in refugees. The essay film “ma nouvelle vie européenne” reflects on Europe’s invisible borders from the perspective of Abou\, a Malian refugee in Germany\, making the camera a medium of self-empowerment. In “Three Notes”\, Jeannette Gaussi artistically processes the few remaining photographs of her Afghan childhood. The playful “Moruk” shows the introverted Hakan and the fun-loving Murat hanging out in the Kreuzberg neighbourhood. They meet daily\, smoke pot\, dream\, philosophize and argue. “Tiefenschärfe” finally reads in the markings of the places in Nuremberg where the so-called NSU committed three murders. Here the pen becomes the camera and the camera becomes the actor while the film traces the unsettling impact of these attacks on society. \n  \nMade in Germany 3 \n  \nDark Figure \nOle-Kristian Heyer/Patrick Lohse/ \nMarian Mayland\, Germany 2020\, \ncolour\, German\, Turkish with English subs\, 16‘ \n  \nAblaze \nJan Koester/Alexander Lahl\, Germany 2019\, \ncolour\, German with English subs\, 5‘30‘‘ \n  \nmy new european life \nAbou Bakar Sidibé/Moritz Siebert\, Germany 2019\, \ncolour\, French with English subs\, 22‘30‘‘ \n  \nThree Notes \nJeannette Gaussi\, Germany 2006\, \ncolour\, no dialogue\, 4‘ \n  \nMoruk \nSerdal Karaça\, Germany 2009\, \nb/w\, German with English subs\, 28‘30‘‘ \n  \nDepth of Field \nMareike Bernien/Alex Gerbaulet\, Germany 2017\, \ncolour\, German with English subs\, 14‘30‘‘

SUMMARY:Moving Silence
DESCRIPTION:An evening dedicated to contemporary “silent” moving image and experimental sound \n  \nFollowing the great success of Moving Silence in Cyprus for the past eleven years at ARTos\, Moving Silence takes place for the twelfth consecutive year in collaboration with the Goethe-Institut Cyprus. On Thursday\, 24 November 2022 at 20:30 at ARTos\, musicians and composers will meet to perform live soundtracks for silent video and film works by contemporary creators of their choice.  The audience will have a unique experience where the musicians and composers perform live their music while the films/videos that have inspired them are simultaneously screened.  \n“Any visual style can profit from a sound language\, by using advanced digital technologies as well as old analogue techniques. Live performances sustain and amplify the films as musicians can breathe new life into silent cinema\, which inappropriately remained silent for such a long time.” Encouraging collaboration and exchange between musicians\, artists and cinematographers\, the Moving Silence platform\, therefore\, invites the Cyprus audience to new audiovisual experiences expressed through live improvisations and interpretations\, where experimental image and sound are expected to meet in unusual and unexpected ways.What is Moving Silence? \nMoving Silence was originally founded in the summer of 2009 by the musician Marco Brosolo\, filmmaker Matthias Fritsch and producer Federico Bassetti with the aim to create events that connect the roots of cinematography with the present aesthetics of image\, the live music production and the potential of new technology. It constitutes a poetic\, intercultural and collaborative attempt in times of information overload. It embraces experimentation and merging between contemporary forms of visual and sound inviting artists from different parts of the world to join in. Moving Silence events have taken place in different cities around Europe.

SUMMARY:Alma and Oskar
DESCRIPTION:The film follows the amour fou between the Grande Madame of Vienna’s cultural society\, Alma Mahler\, and the young expressionist artist Oskar Kokoschka. Alma allows herself to be painted by the unknown artist\, seduces him and instructs the inexperienced young man in the arts of eroticism. He is one of many conquests to her\, but she is to him his first great love. He makes her his muse; she becomes his source of inspiration.  He cannot paint without her\, he says. But she refuses to be there for him alone\, because she too is striving for recognition in the society of Vienna. \n  \nThe Embassy of Austria has the pleasure to screen a drama directed by Dieter Berner. In 1912\, the widowed Alma Mahler\, Grand Dame of Viennese society\, falls for the „Enfant Terrible „of Vienna‘s art scene\, Oskar Kokoschka. But\, as their passion grows\, it threatens to destroy the world they have built for themselves\, and to take them both down with it. \n  \nDirector: Dieter Berner – 2022 – 88‘ \nGenre: Drama \nA few words from the Director: Although Alma and Oskar are “historical” figures\, the audience should encounter them as if they were of the “here and now”. Their conflicts are modern\, and we do not need nostalgic evocations of the past to understand them. \nCast: Emily Cox\, Valentin Postlmayr\, Anton von Lucke \n  \nRating: 16+ \nLanguage: German with English subtitles \nIn cooperation with the Friends of Cinema Society \n

SUMMARY:When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit
DESCRIPTION:Within the framework of the Weeks of the German language the Goethe-Institut Cyprus is organizing film screenings at the two schools in Cyprus that are part of the global PASCH network\, International School of Paphos (ISOP) and Heritage Private School in Limassol. Both films deal with the current as ever issues of racism and displacement\, but through the eyes of children. When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit is set in Germany in the early 1930s and Too Far Away in the late 2010s. \nWhen Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit (2019) is directed by Oscar winning film director Caroline Link. She is known for addressing complex issues through emotional storytelling\, an approach she followed also for this film. The director herself stated about the films When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit and Nowhere in Africa (2001) that she was intrigued by the fact that both stories deal with the Third Reich\, but do not play in Germany. \nBerlin 1933: Anna Kemper is 9 years old when her life is turned on its head. To escape the nazis\, her father must flee from Germany to Zurich. His family follows shortly after. Anna can only choose one of her toys to take with her\, so many other things she is forced to leave behind. She now has to face the challenges and hardships of having to leave her home and fleeing to a foreign country. \nThe film is a literary adaptation of the semi-autographical book by Judith Kerr. The book was first released in English in 1971 and a German translation by Annemarie Böll followed in 1973. The book\, written for children\, tells the story from the perspective of a child. It is required reading in many schools in Germany and has sold over one million copies. Judith Kerr passed away in May 2019\, before the film was released in December of the same year. \nThe screenings are open to the public \nTrailer: https://youtu.be/oNg1OCFGbr8?feature=shared
