- L'étrangleurDer Würger mit dem weißen Schalread moreshort info
Director: Paul VecchialiCountry: France
1970 | 93 min. | FrenchSubtitles: German, EnglishFSK 18
A film like a wild poem: L'étrangleur by Paul Vecchiali is one of the most original French genre films of the 1970s. In the dark of the night, the deeply traumatised Émile uses a white scarf to strangle women who are tired of their lives. An unconventional police inspector takes up the investigation and a young woman volunteers to act as bait. L'étrangleur is one of Paul Vecchiali's most beautiful and personal films. Instead of following the giallo or polar trends that were popular at the time, Vecchiali harks back to the cinema of the 1930s and transports the poetic realism of those years to 1970s France. "L'étrangleur is a film about the magic of the night. A night one can dive into like a pond’s green water." (Le Monde)

Wenn es ein Werk im deutschen Kunstfilm gibt, das in der jüngeren Vergangenheit – auch international – Aufsehen erregt hat, dann Mario Pfeifers Again/Noch einmal! Die Zwei-Kanal-Videoinstallation aus dem Jahr 2018 basiert auf der realen Geschichte des aus dem Irak nach Deutschland geflohenen Schabas Al-Aziz, der nach einem Streit mit einer Supermarktkassiererin von vier anderen Besucher*innen des Marktes beschimpft, zusammengeschlagen und schließlich an einen Baum gefesselt wurde. Eine Frau filmte das Geschehen und das Video ging viral. In Diskussionen im Internet gaben viele Kommentare dem Geflüchteten die Schuld an der Eskalation. Bevor es dann schließlich 2017 zum Prozess kam, fand man Al-Aziz, der als Zeuge aussagen sollte, erfroren im Wald auf und der Fall wurde eingestellt.

To this end, she roams Paris, sometimes talking to housewives, sometimes to mothers at a day care, and when she meets a young man, she promptly starts an affair with him.

- NeigeSchneeread moreshort info
Director: Juliet Berto, Jean-Henri RogerCountry: France
1981 | 90 min. | FrenchSubtitles: German, English
Removed from all tourist pictures, Neige embeds itself deeply in the community of Montmartre. A film that has acquired a cult status over the years. Juliet Berto, one of the most influential actresses of the Nouvelle Vague, made her first film in 1981 with her partner Jean-Henri Roger. On the surface a study of the drug scene, Neige combines auteur cinema with genre elements. A dealer is shot dead by the police. Anita (Berto) tries to help the now desperate addicts in her neighbourhood. At the same time, she wants to take revenge for the death of the young dealer. Neige takes this story as an excuse to cast a brilliantly filthy look at Montmartre, and Berto/Roger create a true cinéma de quartier with cinematographer William Lubtchansky. A transition film, still bearing traces of the playfulness and lightness of the 1970s, while already heralding the night-time cinema of the 1980s.
