THE TURTLE’S RAGE<br />
by Pary El-Qalqili EXILE | MIGRATION | FAMILY | WOMEN | LONGTERM<br />
When I was 12 years old my father left us to return to Palestine. His dream to build a house and<br />
pursue the fight for freedom in Palestine failed. He was expelled by the Israelis. Suddenly he was back<br />
in Berlin, ringing at our front door. My mother looked at him, did not say a word and let him in.<br />
Now he spends his days sitting in the cellar of our small row house. Withdrawn in his turtle shell.<br />
My mother lives upstairs. They are not fighting anymore. They try not to cross each other's path. Not<br />
a sound is to be heard. Only the creaking steps of my mother on the stairs. The whirr of the television.<br />
And my nagging questions to my father.<br />
The Turtle’s Rage tells the story of a mysterious man, whose life has been molded by flight, expulsion,<br />
life in exile and the failed return to Palestine. A torn biography which was affected tremendously by<br />
the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The film is composed of a daughter's search for answers from her father.<br />
Answers he cannot give. A road movie crossing Egypt, Israel, Palestine and Jordan. Father and daughter:<br />
Fighting at the airport. Singing with the cab drivers. Lonely nights in hotels. Negotiations at abandoned<br />
gas stations. Drinking beer in the Naqab-desert. Dreaming in the divan at the Bedouin’s of an<br />
allotment. Trying to sell a house. Betrayal. A story traversed by many nuances, which makes it nearly<br />
impossible to think in categories like ‘good and bad’, ‘victim and offender’ or ‘black and white’.<br />

In the Japanese region Echigo, the locals live with and under the heavy snow fall half of the year.<br />
Because of this they have developed their own customs of everyday life, festivals, and religious rituals.<br />
In a poetic way Ulrike Ottinger leads us into the reality of the snow landscape with its beauty and<br />
austere living conditions, follows the mythical tracks of the ‘gods of paths and roads’ and mountain<br />
spirits, and places us within the fairytale world of a beautiful fox and her lover.<br />

UNDER SNOW<br />
by Ulrike Ottinger CULTURE | ETHNOLOGY | LITERATURE | NATURE | PORTRAIT | RELIGION | THEATRE | WORK<br />
What makes adolescents and even grown men want to spend<br />
the nights out? What makes them trick cameras, surveil the<br />
guards and risk money penalties and even prision? What makes<br />
someone invest tonnes of money in spray cans without ever<br />
getting anything in return apart from some form of honor or<br />
appreciation from a very limited circle of people?<br />
UNLIKE U melts into a scene, which for outsiders, is hard to<br />
comprehend. The world of trainwriters, those spray paint artists<br />
who specialize in painting trams and underground trains. Extremely undercover. Extremely criminal.<br />
Extremely forbidden.<br />
This film writes the fascinating story of a culture, which usually aims to exist undercover, but exhibits<br />
all the characteristics of an art historical movement with all its spacial and periodic developments.<br />
