ALL MY TU<strong>MB</strong>LER GIRLS – Or All About Women Who Dare To …<br />
by Lothar Lambert PORTRAIT | BERLIN |WOMEN | SOCIAL |<br />
In his new film, Lothar Lambert has chosen to portray eleven<br />
women over forty in Berlin, interweaving accounts of their experiences,<br />
their current lives and their expectations for the future.<br />
The line-up includes a number of well-known Berliners such<br />
as Irene Schweitzer, who runs the shop “Kaufhaus Schrill” in<br />
Bleibtreustrasse, photographer Erika Rabau and painter Evelyn<br />
Sommerhoff.<br />
The women talk about their chaotic family backgrounds, dramatic<br />
twists and turns, courageous decisions, failed relationships, breakdowns and new beginnings,<br />
as well as the art of gritting your teeth in spite of all of life’s blows. In no uncertain terms the women<br />
tell the filmmaker how they came to be the people they are; they also chat unabashedly about their<br />
sexual antics and reflect en passant on the social climate in Germany. Although only one or two of the<br />
protagonists are known to each other, they all share their acquaintance with Lothar Lambert, whom<br />
they know either socially or from having worked with him. They also have something else in common:<br />
they’ve all been through a hell of a lot – and they’re all ballsy.<br />

ANDREAS DRESEN<br />
out of the series MY LIFE / MA VIE<br />
by Cordula Kablitz-Post PORTRAIT | FILM | ARTS | MUSIC<br />
With his unique documentary style, multiple award-winning director Andreas Dresen is considered<br />
an anomaly among contemporary film directors. Through interviews with Dresen and some of his<br />
important collaborators such as Axel Prahl, Inka Friedrich and Thorsten Merten, this portrait traces the<br />
course of the director's career. Dresen delves into the archives of the Deutsches Theater in Berlin, and<br />
discovers previously unseen photos from productions of his father Adolf Dresen from the 1960s and<br />
70s. As a child, Dresen often observed his father at work in the theatre. Scenes of Andreas Dresen<br />
directing and editing his most recent film "Whisky and Vodka" and directing "Kasimir and Karoline" on<br />
stage illuminate why he, like his father before him, is a director who drives his actors to top performances.<br />
But music is Dresen's secret passion. As the singer and guitarist at a tribute concert for the<br />
late singer/songwriter Gundermann in Berlin, he reveals his youthful dream: if things hadn't worked<br />
out in film, he would have loved to have become a musician.<br />

A night in Buenos Aires. Young people between sunset and sunrise, in search<br />
of trash, love, justice, a future. Four life lines that will cross but won't touch<br />
each other.<br />
Nico sprays, under the cover of darkness, political graffiti against his anger<br />
at the corrupt government. His trademark is the spider, climbing over house<br />
walls and thus into Estér's nightlife. Together with her mother and her little<br />
son, she uses the hours before garbage removal trying to turn other people's<br />
waste into their living. Natalia is coming home from her webcam-strippingjob.<br />
She is dreaming of a man who loves her and of finally becoming the<br />
woman on the outside that she feels she already is. But right now she wants<br />
to go out, dance in a club and forget all about everything. The AMERIKA<br />
is also the place Ani, Hilde and Mechi are heading for. Drunk with cocktails,<br />
styling and the thought of boys, the three girlfriends take off into the night. Avenida Argentina<br />
explores four opposite worlds along the social striplines of today's Argentina, between poor and rich,<br />
unschooled and studied, indigenous and European descent. An irritating snapshot of a society in crisis.<br />
