The Devil and Daniel Johnston

The Devil and Daniel Johnston

The Devil and Daniel Johnston

dir. Jeff Feuerzeig

USA, 2005 - 110

A stunning portrait of a musical genius – singer, songwriter, artist – suffering from manic depression with delusions of grandeur. Johnston's life is marked by numerous upward and downward spirals, and periodic respites. As a teenager, Johnston began showing signs of unusual artistic ability. He created Super 8 films and expressive comic book-style drawings. In the eyes of his fundamentalist Catholic family, however, he simply wasn't contributing to society in a useful or productive way. He ran off and joined a carnival, and later managed to secure a brief spotlight on MTV. Just as he was beginning to make a name for himself, however, his inner demons began to surface. The film artfully melds current footage, vintage performances, home movies, and dozens of recorded audiotapes from Johnston's life. Testimony from supportive friends and a deeply committed family adds a rich layer to Johnston's personal history, but Daniel’s poetic songs tell their own passionate, haunting, and truly unforgettable story.

The Unknown Soldier - What Did you Do in War, Dad?

The Unknown Soldier - What Did you Do in War, Dad?

Der unbekannte Soldat

dir. Michael Verhoeven

Germany, 2006 - 97

Up to the time of the Wehrmacht Exhibition, visited by more than 500,000 people in 11 major German cities in 1999-2004, the image of the “morally proper” German forces had been kept up in the public debate in Germany. Suddenly, there were photos of Wehrmacht officers killing civilians, and the nation was severely shaken. Any participation of the German forces in Nazi crimes was unbearable to the people in post-war Germany, so it continued to be publicly denied. Verhoeven has traced some of the unknown crimes the Wehrmacht is alleged to have committed, and presents unpublished documents. The film was shot at places of terror in the Ukraine and Belarus.

Izzat

Izzat

dir. Ulrik Imtiaz Rolfsen

Norway, 2006 - 107

A realistic portrayal of the street-gang culture that started to flourish among children of Pakistani immigrants in Norway’s capital in the 1980’s and 90’s. The film depicts the life of three young kids, Wasim, Munawar and Riaz, who grew up in a poor Oslo neighbourhood at that time. School is boring. Instead they are fascinated by East Side Crew – a gang led by the ruthless brothers Sadiq and Khalid. What starts with petty thievery soon develops into narcotics, violence and killings. Loyalty within the gang is everything. Wasim finally sees that the career he has chosen can have no happy ending for anyone. The film deals with the double standards in the tough Pakistani gang environment in Norway, and relates directly to the difficulty of being raised in Muslim immigrant ghettos in Western countries, with the troubles of gaining access to society. “Izzat” means honour in Urdu.
