The second film we are showing you is an absurd story from Italy that straddles the border between documentary and feature film. It's as if Ulrich Seidl had made an Italian comedy.
It starts on July 11, 2025 at 9 pm in Körnerpark, Jonasstraße corner Selkestraße in Berlin Neukölln.
Free admission, but donations for the project are of course welcome.
Wishing on a Star
"Documentary film"
2024 - I/SK/CZ/AU/HR
Director: Peter Kerekes
99 min.
Italian with English subtitles
Some people believe that fate is written in the stars. Astrologer Lucianna de Leoni, who works in a baroque, slightly run-down villa with turrets in the Italian region of Veneto, takes a more flexible approach. To realize their dreams - be it love, wealth or simply a fresh start - she sends her clients on a carefully coordinated birthday journey to be reborn under a new heaven.
Wishing on a Star is a warm, eccentric and often amusing documentary hybrid that traces the journeys of Lucianna and her clients on the road to fulfilling their dreams.
