Films In The Panorama Dokumente Showcases
Films That Encourage The Audience To Question
& Reassess Our Understanding Of History

Une jeunesse allemande (A German Youth) by Jean-Gabriel Périot
 
Curated by Wieland Speck who has been the curator of Panorama since 1992, the Panorama Dokumente opens today with the world premiere of the French-Swiss-German co-production Une jeunesse allemande (A German Youth) by Jean-Gabriel Périot in CineStar 7 on February 6 at 5.00 pm.

Une jeunesse allemande opens up a new view of history using archive material. The film traces without bias or commentary the developments leading up to the German Autumn in late 1977. The gradual radicalisation of leaders of the Red Army Faction (RAF) is made palpable in excerpts from, e.g., Holger Mein's film Freiheit für Teufel (Freedom for Teufel) and Ulrike Meinhof's Bambule (Rampage). The film examines the expulsion of a large number of undergraduate students from the German Film and Television Academy (dffb) for their radicalism, as well as the independent student workers' cinema, ROSTA Kino, and the directors' revolt at the EXPRMTL (Knokke Experimental Film Festival) in Belgium.

Other films in the Panorama that continue this theme are (The New Man) by Aldo Garay and Iraqi Odyssey by Samir.
Tell Spring Not to Come This Year by Saeed Taji Farouky and Michael McEvoy addresses the fatal situation in Afghanistan now that all international troops have left the country.

Censored Voices by Mor Loushy traces the bitter taste of triumph. Young Israeli soldiers return home after the Six-Day War and immediately talk on tape about their experiences: the country is in a flush of victory. Now the director shows these same men listening to what they once said.

Die Widerständigen, also machen wir das weiter… (The Resistors "their spirit prevails ...") A statement by Katrin Seybold, who died in 2012, opens her final work: "The films I make need to be made. When people are dead, then they're dead, and all we have left are Gestapo reports, the reports of the perpetrators." Die Widerständigen "also machen wir das weiter ..." (The Resistors "their spirit prevails ...") consists of interviews about the resistance movement against the Nazis. The film was finished by Seybold's friend and colleague Ula Stöckl, whose legendary 1968 film, Neun Leben hat die Katze (The Cat Has Nine Lives), screens in the Berlinale Classics.

The continuum of the tradition by Speck of music films and special artist portraits sees this year's Panorama showcase films that are as diverse in the artist as the scope and backdrop of their music.

What Happened, Miss Simone? Nina Simone went from being a talented jazz and classical pianist to a highly political human rights activist. Liz Garbus weaves together film documents, interviews and the music of this inimitable singer to create an atmospheric portrait. Cobain: Montage of Heck, Brett Morgen also includes a great deal of music in an intimate glimpse into the life and work of the founder of the grunge band Nirvana, Kurt Cobain.

Sume - Mumisitsinerup Nipaa (Sumé - The Sound of a Revolution) by Inuk Silis Høegh shows how the rock musicians of this band from Greenland devoted themselves in the mid 1970s to opposing Danish colonisers and brought about the revival of Greenlandic, their native tongue.

Spotlighting the City of Berlin itself, one of the most creative musical chapters in West Berlin took place in and around 1980 and is documented in B-Movie: Lust and Sound in West-Berlin by Jörg A. Hoppe, Klaus Maeck and Heiko Lange.

The Panorama Publikums-Preis PPP (the Panorama's Audience Award), organized in collaboration with tip magazine and radio1, is the Berlinale's largest jury. The PPP will be presented for the seventeenth time to the best fictional and the best documentary feature respectively in CinemaxX 7 on the last day of the festival (Berlinale Kinotag), on February 15 at 5.00 pm. After the ceremony, the winning fictional film will be screened, followed by the best documentary at 8.00 pm. In 2014 the Berlinale largest jury cast over 31,000 votes.

The Heiner Carow Prize was conceived to promote German cinematic art, and will be awarded for the third time to a documentary, fictional or essay film from the Panorama section in cooperation with the DEFA Foundation. After the ceremony, which will be held at 5.00 pm on February 12 at Kino International, Heiner Carow's Coming Out (GDR 1989) will be shown.
