Workshops /School cinema 2021

THE JURY IS US

Year 10 pupils from Rouanet-Gymnasium Beeskow attended the „Schukurama Beeskow“ cinema every morning for a week to watch feature films and documentaries from different countries on a variety of themes of longing. Together with the filmmakers and project managers Anna Faroqhi and Haim Peretz, they talked and wrote about the films - and selected their favorites for this year's school cinema program. They slipped into the role of film critics and jurors.

The winning films will be presented in person by the youth jury at the FILM OHNE GRENZEN school cinema:

A VILLAGE SEES BLACK (F 2016), Director: Julien Rambaldi

DAS FIEBER - DER KAMPF GEGEN MALARIA (Austria, Germany, Switzerland 2019), Director: Katharina Weingartner

MY LONGING FOR...  

A film project in cooperation with Innocence in Danger e.V.: In a 10-day workshop, children and young people between the ages of 6 and 17 from residential youth care in Berlin worked together to create a film about their longings. As experts on their story, the participants set out to find the right form and the right way to present it. They were accompanied by film professionals and specialists from Innocence in Danger e.V. .

The resulting short film celebrates its premiere at the 9th FILM OHNE GRENZEN Festival

WATCH MOVIES, MAKE MOVIES

In a „Film for refugees“ workshop, young and adult residents of the Bad Saarow shared accommodation were given the opportunity to watch films together and produce their own moving images for a cinema in front of the cinema. This is followed by short projects in schools and meeting places, in which the work of the youth projects is presented and explored in greater depth.

LONGING FOR NATURE

In a participatory documentary film project, the project managers and filmmakers Faroqhi and Peretz entered into an exchange with three natural sites in Berlin and Brandenburg, their present and history, as well as with the people who are trying to preserve the naturalness of these places. The resulting film reflects on how nature can be recognized as a subject and partner instead of just a usable object. The film is intended to promote further exchange in project days at schools, learning centers and meeting places.

A short version of the film will premiere at the FILM OHNE GRENZEN Festival 2021.
