exground filmfest once more gives the floor to the latest German films, the section has been renamed this year. In "Made in Germany" we present eleven productions: five feature films, three documentaries and three medium-length feature films, two of them as world premieres, two feature-film debuts and many award-winning productions. As in 2013, many of the fictional topics circle around family, from very different points of view. In
ANDERSWO a student takes time off in her native Israel, to come to terms with her family. In
HÜTER MEINES BRUDERS Gregor’s brother disappears during a sailing trip, following which Gregor dives deeper and deeper into the missed one’s life. The wonderful tragicomedy
FAMILIENFIEBER shows, that a family reunion can provide undreamt of surprises. 18-year old Nicole wants her own family no matter what in the great comedy
BE MY BABY; but the young woman with down syndrome has to fight all sorts of prejudice. Fighting the politburo is the task of a break-dance crew from Dessau in the groovy comedy
DESSAU DANCERS, before the functionaries seem to use them as "acrobatic show dance troupe". In
WETTBEWERBER unemployed guys become professionals for courier services, in
A PROMISED ROSE GARDEN illegally living in Berlin Vietnamese lead a life in servility, and IN
DRAUSSEN DER WALD a father fights with his feelings. The documentary film
WIENER ECKE MANTEUFFEL portrays the unusual love story of Pat and Dijana, who have been living together for 22 years with AIDS. In
WIE ICH LERNTE, DIE ZAHLEN ZU LIEBEN the manic relationship of one of the directors towards numbers is the topic of the film, but he is not alone with it, as we learn from Tom Tykwer and Ira Sachs. In
WO IST MEIN ZELT? the director wants to find out in Pakistan, whether his donation for a tent has arrived. Well-made comedies, gripping dramas and sensitive portrayals offer a range of the multi-fold domestic film production.
