ROSACHILDREN: Festival & TV Premiere - written on 23.10.2012
Our documentary film ROSACHILDREN will now premiere at the Hof International Film Festival.
Five different directors that at first glance have nothing in common - Julia von Heinz, Chris Kraus, Axel Ranisch, Robert Thalheim and Tom Tykwer – talk about their friendship with mutual mentor Rosa von Praunheim. A very personal film about filmmaking, about the relationship between teacher and pupil, about friendship, violence, sex, tenderness, a silly hat and finally, about how to faithfully portray someone who has already mastered the art of self-expression like none other.
The film will be screened at Hof at the following times:
Friday, 26th October 2012, 19.30h, Central Kino
Saturday, 27th October 2012, 13.00h, Regina Kino
At the end of November ROSACHILDREN will then screen on TV, on the following nights:
arte: Sunday, 25th November 2012, 23.10h
WDR: Thursday, 29th November 2012, 23.15h

FORTRESS: DEFA-Award and Brazil - written on 22.10.2012
We are very pleased to announce that Kirsi Marie Liimatainen just won the DEFA-Foundation’s Advancement Award for her directorial debut FORTRESS, during the International Film Festival SCHLINGEL that took place in Chemnitz last week.
Excerpt from the jury statement:
„The director approaches the taboo topic that is domestic violence with a great deal of sensitivity and precision. She shows in multi-faceted ways the helplessness of the children. A delicate direction that sheds light on a family’s inner workings without any speculation.“
Congratulations, Kirsi!
FORTRESS is also featured at this month’s International Film Festival São Paulo. The festival section „International Perspective“ presents next to contemporary Brazilian films a selection of productions from all over the world and of all genres: feature films, documentaries and animation films all compete for the audience award.
We are keeping our fingers crossed for FORTRESS!
