Poster for 2unbreakable

2024 · ★ 5.0 (1)

"The body in action: relaxed and sensitive. The feeling: open and free. So breaking is a warrior art and must be transferred to everyday life." BBoy Said has to laugh at his own quote. But there is something to it: he draws strength from the breakdancing philosophy to accept defeat and dance resolutely towards his happiness. The big goal is the Olympic Games - BBoy Said would be the first Uigure to take part in 2024. BBirl Joana is also competing for the Olympics and at the same time has to find a way to deal with her past and learn to rethink family.

Poster for Living the Light: Robby Müller

2018 · ★ 6.7 (6)

For her extraordinary film essay, Living the Light, Director and Director of Photography Claire Pijman had access to the thousands of Hi8 video diaries, pictures and Polaroids that Müller photographed while he was at work on one of the more than 70 features he shot throughout his career; often with long term collaborators such as Wim Wenders, Jim Jarmusch and Lars von Trier. The film intertwines these images with excerpts of his oeuvre, thus creating a fluid and cinematic continuum. In his score for Living the Light Jim Jarmusch gives this wide raging scale of life and art an additional musical voice.
