Focus.Film.Class
NEW VOICES IN GERMAN CINEMA UNDER THE LENS: Hardly any other city is as representative of post-migrant filmmaking in Germany as Berlin. An 8th grade class at Frankfurt’s Otto Hahn School focuses on Soleen Yusef’s WINNERS, which marks the restart of the Mona, a refugee from Syria, at a rough school in Wedding.
In the context of the current DFF special exhibition NEW VOICES. GERMAN CINEMA SINCE 2000, the project class will examine the film from the perspective of culturally diverse filmmaking. The visit to the special exhibition and accompanying workshop units provide impulses for a deeper reflection on the realities in SIEGER SEIN in comparison with the personal lives of the members of the school class. To what extent does the film offer an opportunity to negotiate questions about belonging and identity in today’s German society? What significance does language have for peaceful, democratic coexistence? Does sport even unite more than a common language? The »Focus.Film.Class« will present their findings following the screening of WINNERS. Margret Albers, project manager of the funding program “Der besondere Kinderfilm”, under which WINNERS was developed, will also be a guest. The screening at the DFF cinema is open to the public and can be booked.
