ag geige<br />
– an aMateur filM<br />
by carsten gebhardt<br />
Artist collective or avant-garde band – it is still uncertain<br />
how to describe the group of four young people from<br />
Karl-Marx-Stadt, who in the late 80s seized the unlikely<br />
opportunity by the state-operated (and state-con-<br />
trolled) youth radio station DT64 not only to be noticed<br />
favourably due to submitted cassettes featuring self-pro-<br />
duced music, but also to be broadcasted. Just a short<br />
time later the band was touring the country, their music<br />
was produced professionally by this very radio station,<br />
and only a couple of weeks before the German reuni-<br />
fication, they surprisingly found themselves in the recording<br />
studios of the nation’s sole record combine. And<br />
yet, all four of them weren’t even musicians, but autodidacts.<br />
Their gigs were rather performances than<br />
concerts: the oddly artificial costuming, the use of self-<br />
produced and over-painted films and videos, the lyrics,<br />
from strangely absurd to poetic. And a music which under<br />
the dictate of the omnipresent economic scarcity was<br />
produced with the aid of tape recordings and randomly<br />
gathered equipment and characterized by electronic<br />
sounds and samples. The film shows live recordings, still<br />
existing video material and tries to follow up the artistic<br />
intention and the peculiarities of the period by interview-<br />
ing and conversing with all the protagonists.<br />

Mornings<br />
by omer Yefman<br />
section<br />
Dok Market<br />
A personal journey into bisexual being, the film exposes<br />
a piece of the passionate, wild world found by the<br />
filmmaker in documenting his relationship with Chen,<br />
a rising rock star. Facing the pressure all around him,<br />
Yefman tries to find a way to feel complete without hav-<br />
ing to explain and without feeing guilty. Alongside<br />
the personal dilemma is his singular family – his brother<br />
Gil, who keeps pushing the limits of gender, his sis-<br />
ter Rona, a photographer who lives in New York, and their<br />
grand childless parents, who are longing for the conti-<br />
nuity of their family tree. Like the men he talks to confi-<br />
dentially, they present him with the main conflicts in<br />
his life. As the inevitable crisis looms, a new factor emerges<br />
and illuminates things in a new light.<br />
