Rundgang 2025: Filme von Studierenden der KHM (Filmprogramm 5)

Room Divider, 2023, 79 min.
Feature film by Florian Schmitz (director & writer), Martin Paret (cinematographer)
Karsten has created a refuge from the city in a small one-room apartment. But he was naïve enough to move in without a fixed tenancy agreement. When the property manager Wennmacher decides to renovate, Karsten ends up on the street. But Karsten remains relaxed and comes up with a plan: he packs his mattress into the removal van and turns it into an improvised home. Sophie and Miray are in the same boat and join Karsten's nomadic lifestyle. The community seems perfect, and a few days soon turn into months. But too much closeness and the impending fall cold get to the three of them. When the community dissolves, Karsten finally gives up. A way out of homelessness no longer seems within his grasp. But on a walk through the streets, he meets his drunken ex-property manager Wennmacher again. Karsten senses an opportunity and pretends to be successful on the housing market.

After the screening, the directors, authors and image designers present will talk about the process of making their films and introduce their film teams in a discussion with the audience.
