\u00a0Je suis Annemarie Schwarzenbach<\/strong><\/a> France 2015 Annemarie Schwarzenbach was a shimmering figure of bohemian society of the 1920s. A talented\u00a0writer, she was lesbian, addicted to drugs, a globetrotter, bewitchingly androgynous and \u2013 much to her domineering Nazi-loving mother\u2019s chagrin \u2013 also anti-fascist. Berlin photographer Marianne\u00a0Breslauer described her as the most beautiful creature she had ever encountered. Schwarzenbach died young at the age of 34. She remained forgotten until the 1980s when her books began to be\u00a0republished and her biography reconstructed. Director V\u00e9ronique Aubouy does more than merely save Annemarie Schwarzenbach from obscurity, she brings her into the present. Sixteen young\u00a0actors of both genders slip into different roles in order to play Schwarzenbach, her friends and lovers. Increasingly fascinated by the pull of this figure, their oscillations between genders becomes a joint\u00a0project. Something that begins as an audition in which the young actors are asked to attach their biographies to that of the writer, ends in a dance of relationships in which the borders between reality\u00a0and dramatization are blurred.<\/p>\n 14.30 pm, CineStar 7<\/strong><\/p>\n H\u00e4rte<\/a> Germany 2015 When karate champ Andreas Marquardt thinks about himself he feels nothing but bitterness: \u2018I\u00a0refused to feel anything. I was cold, like a block of ice, I couldn\u2019t give a shit about anything.\u2019 When\u00a0he was two years old, his father poured water over him and put him outside on the balcony in subzero\u00a0temperatures. Another time he crushed his hand. When he was six, his mother began to seduce\u00a0him: \u2018Your prick belongs to me, my little friend.\u2019 Later, Andreas became a pimp and earned millions \u2013\u00a0until he wound up behind bars. Lovely Marion was the only one who stood by him, who went on the\u00a0game for him, and gave him the courage to go on \u2026 Interspersing interviews with dramatized scenes\u00a0from Andreas Marquardt\u2019s biography, Rosa von Praunheim describes a life that veers from fear\u00a0and humiliation to contempt, hatred and brutality. Filmed in stylised sets replete with photographic\u00a0wallpaper that recall West Berlin d\u00e9cor at the time, the film provides a shocking insight into the deep\u00a0wounds caused by domestic violence and one man\u2019s desperate attempts at resistance. Is it possible\u00a0to break out of such a vicious circle? And how does Andreas Marquardt cope with these experiences\u00a0today?<\/p>\n 21.30 pm, Zoo Palast 1<\/strong><\/p>\n Beira-Mar<\/strong><\/a> Brazil 2015 Having been good friends for years, Martin and Tomaz now find themselves on the cusp of\u00a0adulthood. Martin\u2019s father sends his son to southern Brazil, where the family is from, to sort out an inheritance matter. Tomaz accompanies him there. For both of them, the brief excursion to the coastal town becomes a journey into themselves. It\u2019s not just the sea that nearly reaches the doors of the country house which exerts a slow, yet relentless pull on them \u2013 the two friends have the same effect on one other. Filipe Matzembacher and Marcio Reolon\u2019s richly atmospheric, autobiographically inspired feature debut follows its two main characters on a weekend that will change their relationship forever. Beira-Mar is a wander through the borderlands between love and friendship, exploring sexual orientation and personal identity. The outstanding camerawork picks up on the protagonists\u2019 complex emotional states in the same way as the soundtrack captures the roaring of the sea: gentle and powerful in equal measure. Always on an equal footing with the subject and the characters, the film creates a moment of magic and tenderness. Looking for love and finding it are sometimes one and the same thing.<\/p>\n 21.45 pm, CineStar 8<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0Haftanlage 4614<\/strong><\/a> Germany 2015 https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=tMg9po7DP2Q<\/p>\n In the world of fetishes there\u2019s a niche for every type of proclivity. Arwed caters to a special type of customer: he runs a private prison where he is happy to find all sorts of ways to bully and victimise his paying guests on the other side of the bars. As prison director he is master of ceremonies; during the course of one week, he and his partner Dennis help fulfil their prisoners\u2019 wildest fantasies. The inmates treat the days and nights they spend in handcuffs and leg irons as a real holiday \u2013 here at last is a place they can finally switch off and relax. The role play looks a bit like improvised theatre, especially when director Arwed and his assistant Dennis plan the next day\u2019s performance in the bare cells and corridors of their institution. But even when using the whip these \u2018torturers\u2019 never forget to be humane and, in spite of their tough prison warder guise, they are fully aware, in way that is almost\u00a0caring, of their responsibility for those in \u2018detention\u2019. Director Jan Soldat poses his questions offscreen, in the same interview style that he adopted in his short films.<\/p>\n
