Synopsis<\/strong>: The German Federal Republic\u2019s 1961 recruitment agreement with Turkey not only brought \u201cguest workers\u201d to Germany but also their music. Cem Kaya\u2019s dense documentary film essay is a tutorial in Turkish-German recent history that tells a tale of assembly line jobs, homesickness and family reunification, the bazaar in the elevated railway station at Berlin\u2019s B\u00fclowstra\u00dfe, xenophobia and racism, the wistful songs of the early years and the hip-hop of the post-reunification period. These are the stories shared by musicians beginning with Metin T\u00fcrk\u00f6z and Y\u00fcksel \u00d6zkasap, to the psychedelic Derdiyoklar and the chart-topping rapper Muhabbet. Their music has evolved a long way from that of German bands and has always developed out of the Turkish community and its desires. This is the world of Radio Yilmaz, various music cassette labels, protest rocker Cem Karaca\u2019s German exile, and wedding bands that also sing in Kurdish and Arabic to meet the demands of the market. Extensive archival research and an interest in Turkish popular culture are recurring themes in Cem Kaya\u2019s work. With Ak, Mark ve \u00d6l\u00fcm, he has created a rhythmic and vividly narrated cinematic encyclopaedia of Turkish music in Germany. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

BRAINWASHED: SEX-CAMERA-POWER<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

CalArts Hosts Nina Menkes \u2013 Sex and Power
<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Synopsis<\/strong>: Since 2017, #MeToo and the no-longer-covered-up abuse of countless women by Harvey Weinstein have called many things into question in the film industry. This documentary analysis of the male gaze in cinema is based on Nina Menkes\u2019 lecture \u201cSex and Power: The Visual Language of Oppression\u201d. In it, Menkes uncovers patriarchal narrative structures that lie behind supposedly classic set-ups and camera angles. Making use of feminist film theorist Laura Mulvey\u2019s theses on the objectification and sexualisation of the female body, she shows how aesthetic decisions such as camera movement or lighting influence the perception of women on screen, and how shot design functions as an instrument and a mirror of power relations. In doing so, she determines a connection between established film language and a culture of misogyny that leads to the abuse of women beyond the screen. Her individual analyses of scenes from 120 years of film history demystify many a cult film in the independent canon \u2013 because the film language that has been shaped by the patriarchy pervades more than just Hollywood cinema. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Synopsis<\/strong>: Fernanda returns to her uncle\u2019s ranch in Goi\u00e1s in mid-western Brazil after an absence of many years, bringing the ashes of her deceased adoptive mother back home. Her appearance and her search for the truth about her roots shake the fa\u00e7ade of her middle- class family. For her landowner uncle, a conservative mayor of the local municipality who is campaigning for re-election, Fernanda\u2019s investigations and accusations are rapidly becoming a threat. But she remains unyielding in her bid for truth and justice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In her surreal, fantastical debut, Fl\u00e1via Neves masterfully interweaves the search for one\u2019s own origins with Brazil\u2019s colonial past. At the heart of this family drama is the confrontation with antiquated traditions, exploitative relationships and with those who profit from them. Fogar\u00e9u depicts an inspiring attempt to break out of hardened structures as well as the hope for a new beginning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Synopsis<\/strong>: If from Every Tongue It Drips is a hybrid documentary film that uses the framework of quantum physics to explore the ways that personal relationships and political movements at once transcend and challenge time, space, identity, and location. The film follows the lives of a couple living in Batticaloa, Sri Lanka; Ponni writes Rekhti, a form of 19th-century, Urdu, queer poetry; the other, Sarala, is the camera operator. As their personal lives unfold on camera, the lines between rehearsal and reality, location and distance, self and other dissipate and reinforce one another. Simultaneously, through the poet and the camera operator\u2019s daily lives, interconnections between British colonialism, Indian nationalism, and the impact of both on contemporary poetry, dance, and music in South Asia are revealed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Synopsis<\/strong>: In a home in Columbia, ten young women take a seat, one after another, and close their eyes. They are asked to picture Alis, an imaginary friend, and to bring her story to life in a creative dialogue with the filmmakers. Like the interviewees, Alis used to live on the streets of Bogot\u00e1. This imaginary companion is the seed for an extraordinary documentary format, serving as a reflective and delicate point of entry to the protagonists\u2019 own stories. Alis becomes a surface for the projection of past traumas, or the travails of companions who fell by the wayside, and also for life visions and desires for the future. The imaginary friend is a blank slate for exploring individual ideas of freedom, as well as battles that have yet to be fought. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Synopsis<\/strong>: A small film crew ventures into the compartments of Mumbai\u2019s local trains that are reserved for women. \u201cWhat makes you angry?\u201d is the simple question the filmmaker poses to the train\u2019s female passengers. Acquaintances and women who are encountering each other by chance are invited to reveal their opinions and stories in a space that is public, yet protected. Their answers and observations are manifold: sometimes funny, sometimes depressing, sometimes combative, sometimes resigned, but always honest, they come together to form an increasingly complex tapestry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
