Stop Filming Us
Live-discussion at One World film festival / Jeden Svet in Slovakia
A discussion on the films Stop Filming Us and Fonja.
Is Western aid always necessary and beneficial? How do we view the countries that receive our help? Do we sometimes do more harm than good? In the discussion on the films Stop Filming Us and Fonja, we will look at the positive as well as the negative aspects of the European Union’s development aid. Moreover, we will consider not only the view of Slovak humanitarian and development organisations on neocolonialization, but the depiction of the countries of the global south in audiovisual and visual arts as well.
GUESTS: Lucia Kišš (Slovak Aid), Andrea Najvirtová (People in Peril Association), Lina Zacher (director of the film Fonja)
MODERATOR: Frederika Halászová

Podcast mit Susanne Quester
Podcast – Von Susanne Quester mit Lina Zacher
Filmscheinwerfer blenden ein fast kindliches Gesicht. Ein junger Gefangener erzählt von Waffen und Raub, Scham und Stolz. Beim Hofgang gibt ein Anderer Regieanweisungen: Seine Kameraden sollen gefälligst gerade stehen, während er den Appell filmt. Gemeinsam zeigen und inszenieren seine Insassen ein Gefängnis in Madagaskar. Mit der Kamera vermessen sie Räume, die zu eng sind für weite Einstellungen. Und bedenken die Welt außerhalb der Mauern, die ihre Perspektiven begrenzen.

Fonja wins Up& Coming best picture
Das vielschichte Kammerspiel führt uns in einen geschlossenen Mikrokosmos, verwebt Dokumentarisches mit Fiktionalem und erzählt dabei gleichzeitig vom handwerklichen wie vom sozialen Moment des Filmemachens: ein Film im Film im Film.
Eine junge deutsche Regisseurin erschafft den Insassen einer Jugendstrafanstalt in Madagaskar einen Möglichkeitsraum in der Isolation. Sie entfacht Leidenschaft, Zuversicht und Vertrauen und überreicht ihrem Team die Werkzeuge um sprichwörtlich ein Fenster zur Welt in ihre Gefängnismauern zu schneiden. Eine vermeintlich verlorene Generation verleiht sich mittels kollektivem Selbstportrait eine starke Stimme. Dabei gewähren die Filmemacher uns nicht nur Einblick in ihre Schicksale, sondern erlauben uns an einem Reflexions- und Selbstermächtigungsprozesses Teil zu haben, der weit über das finale Filmprodukt hinaus geht.
