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.

Enero

dir. Cynthia Gabrenja, Marcelo Scoccia

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.

Toll Booth

Toll Booth

Gişe memuru

dir. Tolga Karaçelik

Turkey, 2010 - 96

Kenan is 35 and lives with his ailing father. He is a toll booth attendant, collecting fees from drivers on the motorway. He is quiet, socially inept, and would most likely sooner live in his own fantasy world than talk to other people in real life. Kenan is stuck in a groove between home and work until one day his manager shows up for an unexpected inspection. From that moment his dreary life takes a dramatic turn. A film about problems: not belonging, restlessness, and alienation shown through the conflict between a father and his son.

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.

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.
