Description:

Stas works at a garage and is a young Uzbek of Korean descent. He is the third generation of Koreans living in Uzbekistan who were forcibly deported from the Far East of the Soviet Union under Stalin. He and his friends try to escape from their hopeless lives in Tashkent - either through drug addiction, emigration, or death. Director's statement: "I wanted to describe the encounter between the first generation of Soviet Koreans who were forced to relocate when they were little and a rebellious young man from the third generation who has no interest in those times. I hoped to make them trace the path of deportation that took place seventy years ago which, in some ways, would be similar to salmons' homing behaviour".

Director(-s): Ruslan Pak

He was born in 1981 in Uzbekistan. After working for seven years as an assistant film director, he began filming short films. He joined the filming course at the Graduate School of Korean National University of Arts in 2006. His short film 'One Shoot' (2006) was invited to the Talent Campus programme of the Berlin International Film Festival. 'Hannan' is his first feature film.

Combat Girls

Combat Girls

Kriegerin

dir. David F. Wnendt

Germany, 2011 - 103

Marisa, a 20-year-old German girl, hates foreigners, Jews, cops, and everyone she finds guilty for the decline of her country. She is provocative, drinks, fights, and her next tattoo will be a portrait of Adolf Hitler. The only place she feels home is the neo-Nazi gang she belongs to, where hate, violence, and heavy parties are the daily rule. But Marisa's convictions will slowly evolve when she accidentally meets a young Afghan refugee. Confronted by him, she will learn that the black and white principles of her gang are not the only way of interpreting the world. A realistic, uncompromising picture exploring the motives that drive young girls to extremist groups without justifying their actions.

The Shadow of The Sun

The Shadow of The Sun

La sombra del sol

dir. David Blanco

Spain, 2011 - 110

Claudio and Pelé, two homeless men from Barcelona, prepare a street show. Together, they will start a journey of a friendship between light and shadows in the middle of the big city. Director's statement: "Beggars are the other side of the coin: that which remains hidden, a by-product of the splendorous society we live in. That which is perceived as 'different' is rejected today as much as it has always been. We are terrified of disorder, of chaos, and these unmoored people remind us that if we want to avoid ending up without a penny, without a job, sleeping in the streets, on our own and utterly lost, we must remain tied to the etiquette of this society".

Avé

dir. Konstantin Bojanov

Bulgaria, 2011 - 88

Hitchhiking from Sofia to Ruse, Kamen meets 17-year-old Avé. With each ride they hitch, Avé invents new identities for them. Her compulsive lies get them deeper and deeper into trouble. Kamen begins to fall in love with his new friend. Director's statement: "The film is about those exceptional moments in a young person's life when time feels suspended, and one's responsibility is only to the beat of one's own heart. It is a road movie as spontaneous and freewheeling as the characters' adventures. And, despite the unfolding of two deeply personal dramas, it does not lack levity and humour".

Atmen

dir. Karl Markovics

Austria, 2011 - 93

On probation from a juvenile detention centre, Roman stands little chance of returning to a normal life. He doesn't have family, and seems incapable of coping with society. After many failed attempts, Roman finds a probation job at the municipal morgue in Vienna. One day, Roman is faced with a dead woman who bears his family name. Roman wonders about his past for the first time. He starts looking for his mother. A compelling probe into the human psyche, the film was one of the best pictures of this year's Directors' Fortnight at the Cannes Festival.
