SUMMARY:Komplett Kafka
DESCRIPTION:A comic biography by Nicolas Mahler \nWe are delighted to be presenting the poster exhibition Komplett Kafka in cooperation with the artist Nicolas Mahler and the Literaturhaus Stuttgart to mark Franz Kafka’s anniversary year 2024. \nFranz Kafka not only wrote prose\, he was also passionate about drawing: ‘You know\, I was once a great draughtsman’\, he wrote half ironically\, half proudly to his long-term fiancée Felice Bauer in 1913 about his artistic ambitions. \nDrawing had once given him “more satisfaction than anything else”. So what could be more fitting than to honour him on his centenary with a comic biography? And by Nicolas Mahler\, who has a similarly minimalist drawing style? \nMahler presents Kafka’s life and work in an inimitably amusing and poignant way and does not shy away from the really big questions: Why did Kafka’s plan to write a series of cheap travel guides fail? Who wrote the sequel to one of his most important works\, ‘The Metamorphosis of Gregor Samsa’? And what was the story behind the ‘white slave’? The answers and much more can be found in Komplett Kafka. (Source: Suhrkamp Verlag) \n\nOpening hours of the exhibition: \nWednesday – Friday 16:00-19:00\nSaturday 11:00-14:00\n(Closed on 9 and 16 November) \nLanguage: German\, English \nAccompanying educational material \nThis comic poster exhibition introduces young learners of German to Kafka and his works\, as well as the art of Nicolas Mahler\, and also brings the themes addressed by Kafka into the world they live in today. \nDidactisation Complete Kafka | Worksheets for the poster exhibition \n\n\nDidactisation Complete Kafka A2-B1(PDF\, 7 MB) \n\n\n\n\n\nDidactisation Complete Kafka B2-C1(PDF\, 7 MB) \n\n\n\n\n\n\nNicolas Mahler \nNicolas Mahler\, born in 1969\, lives and works as a comic artist and illustrator in Vienna. His comics and cartoons appear in newspapers and magazines such as Die Zeit\, NZZ am Sonntag\, Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung and Titanic. He has received several awards for his extensive work\, including the Max und Moritz Prize for ‘Best German-language Comic Artist’ in 2010\, the Literaturhäuser Prize in 2015 and the Sondermann Prize in 2019. Mahler is artistic director of the School of Poetry in Vienna.

SUMMARY:Moving Images International Videodance Festival 2022
DESCRIPTION:Within the framework of the dance film festival Moving Images\, which is organised by Egomio Cultural Centre every year German dance films are presented in collaboration with the Goethe-Institut Zypern. Three films that have been selected by Elena Christodoulidou (Egomio Cultural Centre) give a glimpse into the dance scene in Germany\, where many international artists work. \nThe films of the dance film festival Moving Images will be screened on 27 November 2022 in a continuous loop between 12 and 5pm. \n  \nNew Version  \nDuration 0:4:19 \nWith this new form\, the subject uses his movement abilities and the potential of his imagination in order to mirror our new future selves. \nMarcin Motyl is an independent dancer\, choreographer and video artist based in Berlin. Today\, Marcin is working to design a unique auteur creative method while developing a specific language of movement. Intending to create an individualistic approach to choreography\, employs his professional education and experience as the foundation\, blending it with broadly defined notions of the abstract and his personal interest in the human mind. To date\, his works have been shown in Japan\, China\, Germany and Poland. \n  \nDignity (Würde) \nDuration 0:6:02 \nIs human dignity inviolable? \nIn the garden room of the Cromford mansion\, four dancers grapple with their understanding of dignity. Dressed in workers’ overalls\, they form a considerable contrast to the sumptuously furnished room\, which was once facilitated by child labor in the 18th century. The diverse cultural origins of the dancers underline their different understanding of dignity and human rights. \nThe complexity of the topic is also supported with the help of fractal technology. For this\, the dancers interact with a separate camera\, which was placed directly in front of a monitor showing the filmed images. The inertia of the image transmission results in a time delay in the choreography and thus creates new approaches to movement. The result is a kaleidoscope as versatile as the understanding of dignity itself. \nNadja Görts studied musical theater and is currently a dance master student at the German Sport University Cologne\, Germany. She has appeared in numerous dance performances\, musicals\, operettas and operas and is working as a choreographer at home and all over Europe. She is also a music theater educator for the German Rhine Opera. Her dance film debut DIGNITY won awards at international film festivals and the live adaptation premiered at Cromford Manor in April 2022. Nadja is currently working on a new performance dealing with the relationship between mother and daughter. \n  \nCarrières \nDuration 0:5:18 \nCarrières is a short dance film that presents a pas de deux interpreted by two professional dancers. It tells the story of a romantic encounter evoking the theme of separation. This short film has been entirely filmed in the « Carrières de Lumières » in Les Baux de Provence. \nMaxime Mathieu has been dancing in several European ballet companies such as the Stuttgarter Ballet\, Royal Ballet of Flanders\, Wiener Staatsballet and Ballet de Nice Méditerrannée\, as well as guesting with the Cape Town City Ballet\, the Tivoli Ballet Theater and the Ballet West Scotland. Since 2012 Maxime Mathieu choreographs and teaches. Currently a dancer at the Badisches Staatstheater Karlsruhe\, he received distinctions for his creations as a choreographer in New York (Valentina Kozlova competition) and at the Varna International Ballet Competition. Since 2021\, Maxime produces and directs short dance films such as «The Embrace»\, «Chaconne» or «Carrières».

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:Oberhausen on Tour - German Competition
DESCRIPTION:Goethe-Institut Cyprus and ARTos House are happy to present three short film programmes from the 67th edition of the International Short Film Festival Oberhausen over three nights in November 2022. The screenings taking place at ARTos House start on Wednesday 2 November with five films from the German Competition programme. On Thursday 3 November the five films comprising the Art and Experiment programme will be presented. The screenings conclude on Friday 4 November with the eleven films in the MuVi Award programme. \nGerman Competition \nThis programme brings together some of the most interesting works to come out of the German Competition and the newly introduced German Online Competition of the 2021 Festival. “Top Down Memory” deals with manipulations of history in the context of the reconstruction of the Berlin Palace. With the help of Mussolini\, Karl Liebknecht and Justin Bieber\, among others\, the film describes the political significance of the balcony and asks who writes our history. In the silent film “Levantado do Chão”\, a man undertakes a somnambulistic city walk beyond constraints and time. “X” is a cinematic ancestral ritual in honour of the spirits of the Ruhr area\, in which Mareike Wegener imagines a devil’s pact as the last resort for people who can no longer find work. “(Steve) Temple”\, on the other hand\, treats the Ruhr area as a fictional landscape and anarchic space where people live in spontaneity and cooperation free of hierarchies. \nWhile Simon Rupieper notes that pixels get smaller and smaller with age\, a cyber entity connects with an international feminist network in “feminism is a browser_materialisation”\, trying to find out why it exists and what became of the utopias of the internet. In the process\, the film sets up an experimental monument to some of the pioneers of cyberfeminism. \n  \nTop Down Memory \nDaniel Theiler\, Germany 2020 \ncolour\, German/English/Italian with English or German subs\, 12’30’’ \n  \nLevantado do Chão (Raised from the Ground) \nMelissa Dullius/Gustavo Jahn\, Brazil/Germany 2020 \nb/w\, silent\, 11’ \n  \nIm gelben Licht (Through Yellow Light) \nSimon Rupieper\, Germany 2020 \ncolour\, German with English subs\, 7‘30‘‘ \n  \nfeminism is a browser_materialisation \nCharlotte Eifler\, Germany 2021 \ncolour\, English with German subs\, 12’ \n  \n(Steve) Temple \nTanita Olbrich\, Germany/USA 2020 \ncolour\, English\, 6’ \n  \nX \nMareike Wegener\, Germany 2020 \ncolour\, German with English subs\, 28‘30‘‘

SUMMARY:International Short Film Festival Oberhausen Made in Germany 3
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 21st of November \nThis compilation\, the third part of our series with the best German short films of the last ten years\, deals with the living conditions of migrants in Germany today. 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: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

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: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:Moving Silence
DESCRIPTION:An evening dedicated to contemporary “silent” moving image and experimental sound\nFollowing the great success of Moving Silence in Cyprus for the past ten years at ARTos\, Moving Silence takes place for the eleventh consecutive year in collaboration with the Goethe-Institut Cyprus. On Thursday\, 18 November 2021 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. \nWhat 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: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:Discussion The Power of Images
DESCRIPTION:DialogRaumGoethe \nThe Power of Images is the launch event of the new event series titled DialogRaumGoethe\, which will take place regularly at the event hall of the Goethe-Institut Cyprus in the Buffer Zone. Cypriot and German experts from academia\, culture and media will be speaking on current topics and inviting the audience to participate in discussions and ask questions. \nFor the first DialogRaum event the invited speakers are media scholars Evripides Zantides and Klaus Sachs-Hombach will talk about the power and independent existence of images in media. The discussion will be moderated by theatre professional Diomedes Koufteros. The idea for this discussion arose from the theatre performance Picture Perfect by the SRSLY_yours Ensemble. This performance\, which is supported by the Goethe-Institut\, premiered at Rialto Theater in March and will be shown in Nicosia at ARTos House in early November. Achim Wieland and the SRSLY_yours ensemble will take part in the discussion at DialogRaumGoethe. \nSince Plato\, the status of pictorial representations has been controversial. On the one hand\, pictures were considered inferior to words when it came to expressing abstract thoughts. On the other hand\, an almost magical aura has been attributed to them. This ambivalent attitude has prevailed to the present day\, with all kinds of newly invented pictorial media such as photography or virtual reality evoking reactions that range from greatest enthusiasm to utmost skepticism. Alongside this background\, our talk attempts to clarify the specific properties of visual communication with images playing a pivotal role in the rhetoric of communication. While the lecture introduces relevant theoretical frameworks\, it aims to analyse and discuss images through specific examples and analytical tools.

SUMMARY:Disappearing Wall
DESCRIPTION:The “Disappearing Wall” is a unique object. Europeans selected famous quotes – fragments from songs and poems\, quotes from their favorite films\, novels and philosophical works. These quotes will be presented in the installation to illustrate the linguistic and intellectual diversity of our continent. The “Disappearing Wall” invites passers-by to take a piece of this diversity with them. The wall is filled with thousands of small wooden blocks\, which are engraved with quotes. Visitors can keep them as a souvenir or give them away to friends and acquaintances. \nAs the quote-blocks gradually disappear\, so does the wall. This process symbolically shows that the walls that we build and separate communities\, peoples and everyday people can disappear with collective effort. \nWhile the installation is presented in Cyprus\, it is also presented in Belgium\, Germany\, the Netherlands\, Great Britain / Northern Ireland\, Lithuania\, Spain\, Italy\, Greece and Poland. This interactive wall installation “Disappearing Wall” is based on the idea of Maria Yablonina and carried out by engineer Werner Sobek. She developed this idea in a workshop\, which was initiated by the Goethe-Institut. \nThe project “Dissapearing Wall” was funded by the German Federal Foreign Office on the occasion of the German EU Council Presidency.

SUMMARY:Automotive
DESCRIPTION:Part of the “Berlinale Selection 2020” film series programme.  \nDocumentary // 80 minutes // 2020 // Director: Jonas Heldt \nWhat is the value of work in the age of the digital revolution? In Ingolstadt\, 20-year-old Sedanur spends her nights sorting car parts on the assembly line for the robots. In the vast factory as high as a house\, forklifts circle each other beneath fluorescent lights and temp workers fight to keep their posts. Times are tough because Audi is about to cut a tenth of its workforce. Sedanur has no desire to find a husband and have children. She dreams of driving her own Mercedes one day. But when the diesel crisis kicks in\, she is one of the first to be let go. At the same time\, 33-year old Eva\, a headhunter working for Audi\, is looking for experts to automate some of their logistics. So-called “smart” factories that run without people are already emerging all over Europe. Eva knows that one day\, even her own job will be replaced by algorithms. But by then\, if all goes according to plan\, she will be living with her girlfriend in the Caribbean and will not have to work at all. Two very different representatives of a generation in which\, sooner or later\, everyone will be replaceable\, and for whom work as the basis of life is neither a certainty nor necessarily a source of identity. \nAWARDS\nAt the Berlinale 2020 Automotive was nominated for the Berlinale Documentary Award. \n\nJonas Heldt \nIn primary school\, he wanted to become a wildlife filmmaker. Having grown up in a small Bavarian village where whoever drove a Bavarian-made car was considered to have made it in life\, he moved to Berlin where he began to make his first documentaries and also worked as a radio reporter. Before filming Automotive\, he completed Hinterwelten 2014 and Tara 2017.
