Premiere Dokumentar- und Jugendfilm ÜBER UNS VON UNS
In the organizer's words:
Premiere of the documentary and youth film ÜBER UNS VON UNS as part of the Cologne Cinepänz Festival. The director Rand Beiruty and other members of the film team will be guests at the Filmhaus on October 5 (6:30 pm).
To the movie:
ÜBER UNS VON UNS follows the lives of seven teenage girls on their way to adulthood in Eberswalde, a provincial East German town 55 km from Berlin. As new arrivals in the town, the girls not only have to cope with the typical challenges of teenage life such as friendships, school and self-discovery, but also have to get used to a new culture and environment and deal with the nuances of their identity as immigrants and refugees.
Their experiences of displacement, cultural adaptation and the pressure to assimilate add layers to their narratives. Parallel to their everyday lives, the director leads workshops in which the girls explore their hopes, dreams and fears through writing, music and acting, and then write scenes to perform on camera. These scenes are transformed into dream sequences in which the girls imagine the future in order to process their painful experiences and playfully transform them into future perspectives.
