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.

Qarantina

dir. Oday Rasheed

Iraq / Germany, 2010 - 90

Today's Iraq. A family has been forced to move into a derelict building. A hit man moves into the top floor. The killer looks down from above on the courtyard where the difficult family life largely takes place. The wife cheats on her husband with the much younger housemate. Her man feels humiliated by the younger intruder and by his daughter's unwanted pregnancy. The hit man is quite sympathetic but goes off the rails slowly when he has to liquidate one of his old student friends. A melancholy story in which a large crumbling house in Baghdad keeps its inhabitants protected from the chaos outside while figuratively trapping them in their destinies. All the characters stand for the situation in which Iraq finds itself. Images of street life in Baghdad, all shot from within a tank, make it clear that the occupier is equally imprisoned.

Kriegerin

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.

In the summer of 1989 Xiaoli, a young boy from Shanghai, turns 16. His life revolves around his one-room apartment in a beautiful brick house in a picturesque neighbourhood, which he shares with his grandfather. His best friend is a girl a few years older than him. She slowly drifts away from him, lured by the new opportunities which come as China opens up to foreign goods and businessmen. The 1989 events force Xiaoli to grow up and to let go of his teenage dreams.

Argentina, 2011 - 70

Ivan is a pianist. After a tragic accident, his beloved is in a coma. Ivan is heartbroken and unable to write music. His narcoleptic episodes transport him to a different, quieter world that makes him forget about his artistic block. Music once again seems to be what might bring him back to life. His therapy sessions, subway rides, supermarket shopping, his whole everyday life is then altered by the idea of finishing a requiem for his late master. A tale of spiritual lethargy and a man's attempts to overcome it.
