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.

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.

The Cinema Hold-Up

The Cinema Hold-Up

Asalto al cine

dir. Iria Gómez Concheiro

Mexico, 2010 - 124

Negus, Chale, Sapo, and Chata are teenagers living in Mexico's Guerrero colony. Friends since childhood, they spend most of their time drowning their problems in a constant haze of marijuana, lusting after the opposite sex, and hanging out at skate parks, graffiti hot spots, and hip-hop jam sessions. One day, inspired by the pain of empty pockets and a desire to cross the boundary between adolescence and adulthood, they have a massive brainstorm that will solve all of their problems. They decide to rob the local cinema. A vibrant picture of Mexico blending the crime genre with an insightful portrait of youth culture.

Between Night and Day

Entre la noche y el día

dir. Bernardo Arellano

Mexico, 2011 - 75

Francisco, an autistic man, lives with his brother, his sister-in-law, and their son. He is neglected, alone, shut in. The only activity he is free to engage in is to go for a walk in the park in the afternoons. One day, he finds a rat and keeps it as a pet. This is too much for his family. Francisco runs away to a nearby forest, where he is amazed by the beauty he finds. However, he soon discovers nature's animosity. While attempting to descend from a cliff, he falls and is badly wounded. When all hope seems lost, he encounters an elderly hermit who helps him. Once recovered, Francisco learns to pick fruit, start fires, and bathe in the river. He discovers a new outlook on life in the silence of the forest.
