title: Protest Under Pressure

overview: Over the past two years, German universities have become sites of resistance for students in solidarity with Palestine. Campuses have bee marked by police violence, court proceedings, intimidation, and growing forms of (self-)censorship. Set at the Free University of Berlin, this documentary traces how academic spaces have been reshaped by state repression. The film centers the brutal eviction of the Palestine solidarity encampment in May 2024 and the cascade of events that followed: a media smear campaign, institutional threats, legal repercussions, and mounting interference with academic freedom. These developments are situated within a wider political framework—Germany’s “reason of state”—and examined in relation to the country’s role in the ongoing occupation and genocide in Palestine.

title: Die Kinder vom Bullenhuser Damm

overview: On April 20, 1945, twenty Jewish children were hanged at the Hamburg school on Bullenhuser Damm. SS doctor Heißmeier had previously conducted "medical" experiments on the children. To conceal this crime from the advancing British forces, the SS, under the command of Obersturmführer Arnold Strippel, killed the children, two prisoner nurses, two prisoner doctors, and 24 Soviet prisoners of war. One of the children's murderers, Arnold Strippel, who now lives in Frankfurt, has been under investigation by the Hamburg public prosecutor's office since 1979, but so far without any results. The film documents the children's story through eyewitness accounts. It conveys impressions of Nazi propaganda through "Die Deutsche Wochenschau" (The German Weekly Newsreel) and shows the dangers of neo-fascism in the Federal Republic of Germany. In April 1980, a few days after a memorial service for the children, neo-Nazis planted a bomb in the school on Bullenhuser Damm...

overview: My mother lights 80 candles and becomes visible. When I set to work, it turned into an intense confrontation between mother and son. I finally learned the unvarnished story of my mother's life and began to understand why we both became who we are. I interwove the film image with two layers of sound: the Suite in C minor for violoncello, Bach, and dialogical texts spoken by mother and son, based on our conversations and describing how she gave birth to her seven children during the years of Hitler's fascism. I will continue to work on my mother's biography.

title: Wir hatten eine Dora in Südwest

overview: Berlin, 1907. In highly influential circles, the increase in the "mixed-race population" in the German colonies is considered a serious threat. Only the provision of a constant supply of German women willing to marry could (according to the almost unanimous opinion at the time) prevent the "Caffeinization of the men in our colonies." Gentlemen from the worlds of commerce and politics, with the active support of their wives, founded the "German Colonial Women's Association," which, from then until 1945, operated as a marriage agency with official support.

title: Utopie der Oper

title: Utopie der Oper

overview: Die großen Opernhäuser der Welt gelten als "Tempel der Ernsthaftigkeit". In der Geschichte der Oper gibt es etwa 80.000 Partituren. Ihnen allen ist gemeinsam, dass diese Opern an die "Fähigkeit, zu trauern" appellieren. Das ist die Form des Lamentos. Dieser Klagegesang hat einen inhaltlichen Kern. In der Mehrzahl der Opern stirbt im letzten Akt eine Frau, der Sopran. Die Opern handeln davon, dass "das Liebste, was wir haben, geopfert" wird. "Noch bevor es die bürgerliche Gesellschaft und den Gesellschaftsvertrag gab (contrat social)", sagt der französische Antropologe René Girard, "gab es den Familienvertrag. In ihm geht es um die Abschaffung von Muttermord, Vatermord und Mord an den eigenen Kindern. Dieser Vertrag ist auf einer unbewussten Ebene brüchig geblieben". Davon handeln die Mythen und seit dem Jahr 1600 die Opern.

title: Totentraum

overview: A Turkish immigrant worker has died 1965. The preparation of the body is contrasted with a letter written by his wife in Turkey, which describes the situation and expectations of his family in the homeland.
