In the section NEWS FROM GERMANY we present nine films absolutely worth seeing: three feature films, three medium-length short films and three documentaries, one of them a world premiere, one a German premiere and one an Oscar-winner. The section will open with LONELY U [DIE LIBELLE UND DAS NASHORN] by Lola Randl: brilliant acting by German stars Mario Adorf and Fritzi Haberlandt in a confusion between an aging screen hero and a new blood author stuck in a hotel. Felix Stienz delivers a grand debut with DOLL, THE FATSO AND ME [PUPPE, ICKE UND DER DICKE]: in this splendid roadmovie a shortie, a mute and a blind go from Paris to Berlin. SHIFTING THE BLAME [SCHULD SIND IMMER DIE ANDEREN] is the second and already often awarded debut in this section. Director Lars-Gunnar Lotz tells the story of an attempt at social reintegration of a juvenile delinquent. The German program of three medium-length films was compiled by the Mainz film festival FILMZ for exground filmfest 25 – presenting CRAZY DENNIS TIGER by Jan Soldat, MEMO by Banu Kepenek and VON HUNDEN UND PFERDEN, the mentioned Oscar-winner (silver student-Oscar 2012!) by Thomas Stuber. ST. PAULI – CAPETOWN [VOM KIEZ ZUM KAP] by Joachim Bornemann documents the journey of two football-crazy fans of FC St. Pauli to the world championship 2010 in South Africa – in an 18-year old VW van! Stefan Westerwelle and Jan Rothstein with their film DETLEF pay homage to now 62-year old Detlef Stoffel, one of the German gay movement’s most important activists. Last but not least, we present the world premiere of Hartmut Jahn’s film WENN MAN ES VERSTEHT IST ES ZU SPÄT – 50 JAHRE FLUXUS in Fluxus’ hometown Wiesbaden.
