GERMAN FOR LOVE<br />
by Barbara Trottnow WOMEN | MIGRATION | TURKEY | LONGTERM<br />
A long-term observation on Turkish women migrating to Germany because they marry a Turkish man<br />
living there. Once the men’s families have gone to Germany as foreign workers. A language school in<br />
Balıkesir (Turkey) is the starting point for the film. There the women learn German, because only with<br />
the proof of German knowledge they get a visa for Germany.<br />
The film accompanies three women of a German course on their way in a new life. It shows how they<br />
have lived in Turkey and how difficult their life is in Germany. Not only the language problems stop<br />
them from getting to know their new environment.<br />
Happy, in love and looking forward to the future we have got to know the women in Turkey. Later, in<br />
Germany they notice, that e.g. her wish to find a job is hardly realizable. When the men’s families<br />
came to Germany, there was work for unqualified people, and also the language problems didn’t play<br />
an important role. Today this is completely different.<br />
German title: DEUTSCH AUS LIEBE<br />
87min | DigiBeta | 16:9 | original German/Turkish version with English subtitles available<br />
Young Germans with Arab or Turkish backgrounds – between<br />
unemployment and crime, headscarfs and Islamism.<br />
The foreigners? The immigrants? The problem?<br />
All of them are frivolously lumped together in public debate.<br />
The lines between discrimination and self-isolation are blurred.<br />
What do external impressions and reality have in common?<br />
We meet different people of the ‘Third Generation’ of<br />
immigrants who tell us their story. We listen to those who have<br />
made it, those who have failed and those who are not willing to integrate at all.<br />

GERMANY SWEET AND SOUR<br />
by Eilika Meinert MIGRATION | CONTEMPORARY SOCIETY | BERLIN<br />
Since the Argentinean economic crisis of 2001, on the streets of Buenos Aires more than 6,000<br />
Cartoneros are hidden to the urban population, as the waste collectors usually appear at dusk in trains<br />
and trucks from the poorest areas of the province. The film remains close to them and shows the stories<br />
behind their handcarts.<br />
