GOOD BYE TIBET<br />

by Maria Blumencron PORTRAIT | HUMAN RIGHTS | MIGRATION | EXILE | CULTURE | LONGTERM<br />

This is the story of a mountain pass at nearly 6,000 meters on the border between Tibet and Nepal.<br />

For thousands of Tibetan refugees it has been the gateway to freedom – for many others it has been<br />

a fatal gauntlet. It is the life story of Kelsang Jigme, a legend among the refugee guides. It is the story<br />

of 6 children sent by their parents into exile and of their parents who had to stay back in Tibet. It is a<br />

story of imprisonment and torture- and the allegory of a love that knows no borders.<br />

Finally, it is the story of a family of kindred spirits formed over the years by all of the protagonists: the<br />

children, their mothers, the guides and the filmmaker herself. Ten years of destiny reflect the dreams,<br />

strength and hope of a people that has never before been so threatened by its own demise.<br />

GOZARAN – TIME PASSING<br />

by Frank Scheffer MUSIC | CULTURE | RELIGION | WOMEN | HUMAN RIGHTS<br />

GOZARAN – TIME PASSING portrays the hard and sober reality of Iranian cultural policy, in which all<br />

personal expressions of music are massively suppressed.<br />

The film tells the story of a German-Iranian orchestra and its leader, the composer and conductor<br />

Nader Mashayekhi. The orchestra attempts to perform key works of European musical tradition in Iran<br />

and is carried forward by the concept that music and musical expression cannot be prohibited.<br />

GOZARAN tells about the hope and failure of an idea that was born in the hearts of the young musicians.<br />

Despite the failure of their enterprise, they have learnt to express themselves through music.<br />

Acknowledgment to photographer Melle van Essen for the disposal of his images for press relations.<br />

THE GREATNESS OF MAN<br />
