Gemeinsame Grenzen

Aufgrund der geopolitischen Lage des Festivals  in Westpommern wird  den ästhetischen „Grenzüberschreitungen“ im Film auch spannungsvollen thematischen Fragen von „Grenzen“  nachgespürt, von nationaler  Identität, von „Nachbarschaften“ in grenznahen Räumen, von Gemeinsamkeiten und Unterschieden in der Dimension von Geschichte und Gegenwart. 

Die diesjährige Filmauswahl fokussiert  das Thema der Überschreitungen von nationalen Grenzen und der politischen Teilungen und wie diese beispielsweise das Bild öffentlicher Personen beeinflussen oder  individuelle Schicksale belasten.

  • Wie verfilmt man einen Präsidenten?34'

    Wie verfilmt man einen Präsidenten? / How to film the president?
    Production: GER 1991

    The authors of this film asked themselves the question found in the title when they got an offer to make a film portrayal of president gen. Wojciech Jaruzelski. It became clear to them right after the initial arrangements with the Chancellery of the President that the aim was to create a propaganda picture, which was to improve the image of Jaruzelski in the West. The result was an unusual film – a documentary presenting something more than just an ordinary work day of the head of state. “How to film the president?” most of all skilfully shows the structures and rituals of the apparatus of power in those days.
