<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nSynopsis<\/strong>: One journey begins in Graz, in April 2020, the director\u2019s trip back to China in the midst of the lockdown: flight connections on a cracked phone screen, hazmat suits on the aeroplane, tape sealing the hotel room door. But it also intermingles with another earlier journey: the family trip from China to Myanmar to find out what happened to great-grandfather, who left in the 1940s and never came back. The director films both trips and everything around them too, that\u2019s why it\u2019s so hard to keep things apart, always the same fascination for patterns and textures, the same grainy video in black and white, the same eye for unlikely beauty, the same unflinching gaze.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSCREENING TIMES:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n11.02. \/ 13:30 Kino Arsenal 1<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nSynopsis<\/strong>: The voice of opera singer Nelly resonates in the middle of Ravensbr\u00fcck concentration camp. Nelly and Nadine met for the first time at Christmas in 1944. They found each other again after liberation and were to stay together for the rest of their lives. Today, Nelly\u2019s granddaughter Sylvie is about to be confronted with her grandmother\u2019s legacy, locked in a box. The photographs, Super 8 footage and audio recordings as well as the poetic and harrowing diary entries that she comes across describe not only her grandmother\u2019s memories of the camp, but also tell the story of her life with Nadine \u2013 a relationship that was never referred to as such by the family. <\/p>\n\n\n\nSCREENING TIMES:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n11.02. \/ 16:00 International<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nSynopsis<\/strong>: A glance leads to a smile, a smile to a rendezvous: every love story begins the same way. These narratives are stored in songs and poems and live on beyond their inevitable endings, as Shakespeare\u2019s titular sonnet 18 also suggests. In Mohammad Shawky Hassan\u2019s metafictional essay, a female narrator who wishes to tell the story of a love between two men encounters a polyamorous chorus of lovers, and this oft-told tale is multiplied. In Club Scheherazade, there is no protagonist, and every song has various versions. Heteronormative dramaturgy is challenged polyphonically and across a range of media: lovers ask each other about threesomes, Grindr contacts and past dates. Pop clich\u00e9s are twisted, heartache permeates the men\u2019s singing, and poems by Wadih Saadeh are read out while a lover\u2019s dirty laundry is aired. The narrator mischievously tries for a happy ending as her characters exit the story. \u201cIf pain could be forgotten through words,\u201d we hear at one point, \u201cno lover would ever have to walk away wounded.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\nSCREENING TIMES:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n11.02. \/ 20:00 Kino Arsenal 1<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But then Balli meets three boys of his own age \u2013 Addi, Konni and Siggi \u2013 and a friendship gently develops. For the first time in his life, Balli finds that he is able to connect, especially with Addi, whose mother believes in \u201cthe subconscious\u201d.
