Broken Land Stéphanie Barbey / Luc Peter Artistic collaboration:

Peter Mettler

Switzerland, 2014, 75 min.

Festivals: Festival del film Locarno 2014 (World premiere) Duisburger Filmwoche 2014 Production: Intermezzo Films SA, Geneva RTS Radio Télévision Suisse SRG SSR ARTE G.E.I.E. World Sales: Deckert Distribution GmbH, Leipzig T +49 341 215 66 38 www.deckert-distribution.com

Seven Americans – neighbours of an immense fence, erected to control Mexican immigration – unfold how the nearby US-Mexican border transforms their lives. Out in the desert they observe the haunting traces left by the crossing migrants, people they never come face to face with. They confide their fear, defiance and at times even their compassion.

“A very striking film about xenophobia and how it arises. I have never seen anything like it in such an accurate, precise and yet so straightforward form.”

Herbert Spaich, SWR

Iraqi Odyssey

A Global Family Saga Samir

* 1955 in Baghdad. Lives in Switzerland since 1961. In 1994 he cofounded the production company Dschoint Ventschr and has been working as independent director and producer of both fiction and documentary films. After FORGET BAGHDAD acclaimed Iraqi expatriate filmmaker Samir returns with IRAQI ODYSSEY and traces in 3D the migration of his own family from the Middle East to Europe.

Bombs, bearded men, sobbing women, shattered cities: Iraq, as seen through the eyes of the western media these days. These images are juxtaposed with those from the fifties and seventies: films with frivolous music, unveiled women who study; elegantly dressed men in Baghdad, a modern city. Film director Samir tells the story of his globalised middle-class Iraqi family, scattered around the world.

“Once again Samir builds on his origins, on his know­ ledge of both east and west, on his 360 degree vision of the world, and he encourages us to overcome our fears that are expressed through a series of reassuring stereotypes that are however, extremely dangerous.”

In a small, shabby bar in the deep south of Italy a group of older men plays their beloved drinking game called “Padrone e sotto”.

Mulhapar Paolo Poloni

* 1954 in Lucerne. Studied Romance languages and literature and Philosophy in Zurich and Paris. Since 1989 he works as filmmaker in Zurich. He is known for his documentaries such as SALONICA (2008), JOURNEY TO MISTERBIANCO (2003) and ASMARA (1993).

Mulhapar – a small village in Pakistan – far removed from contentions and prejudices. The film immerses in the village community teeming with life, condensing the fates of families and individuals, as well as tales and anecdotes to form a vibrant and poetic mosaic. Anti-dogmatically and respectfully, the film endeavours to encompass the entire spectrum of human existence.

“The viewer quietly observes the daily activities of various protagonists, far from the events making front-page headlines. 'Another Pakistan' is thus revealed, offering us a new take on this little-known world.”

It is winter at an emergency shelter for the homeless in Lausanne. Every night at the door of this little-known basement facility the same entry ritual takes place, resulting in sometimes violent confrontations. Those on duty at the shelter have the difficult task of “triaging the poor”: women and children first, then the men.

Only 50 “chosen ones” are admitted inside.

“This affecting, clear-eyed depiction of the economic crisis‘s cruel social effects was granted a high-profile competition slot at Locarno”.

Neil Young, The Hollywood Reporter

* 1988 in Cologne, grew up in Zurich.

Studied film directing at Zurich University of the Arts (ZHdK). Works as sound designer and documentary filmmaker. In 2014 he founds the production company Maxdrux Multimedia & Film GmbH.

Gottfried Böhm is considered to be Germany’s most important architect. Now aged 94, he learned his trade from his father. He still works every day on construction projects with his sons. Their Pritzker Prize-winning father’s reputation secures them attractive major commissions, but it also prevents them from becoming independent and fuels the competition between them. Then the family loses its emotional center: Elisabeth – who was also an architect – wife, mother and their most important source of inspiration.

In the late 80s, Bill Drummond was, with his band The KLF, at the top of the charts and got elected as the “coolest guy within the pop industry”. At the zenith of his career he happened to turn his back on the music industry. His creative curiosity pushed the headstrong Scot to use new ways in dealing with music. This resulted in The17, a choir project in which the artist develops his vision of a polyphonic world in front of our eyes, inviting us to use our own creativity while watching the movie. A surprising journey into new musical realms.

Stefan Haupt’s docudrama THE CIRCLE is Switzerland’s Official Submission for Foreign Language Film at the 87th Academy Awards®. The film celebrated its world premiere in the Panorama section at the Berlinale 2014 and won both the Teddy Award and the Audience Award. This remarkable docu-fiction is set in Zurich’s gay underground movement during the postwar years. Based on a true love story.

A watershed moment in Swiss and European gay history is finally given the feature treatment in “The Circle”.

The Hollywood Reporter, Boyd van Hoeij

The drama’s urgency gives “The Circle” the feel of a bombshell.

Screen International, David D’Arcy

The documentary interludes prevent “The Circle” from playing entirely as a period piece, which makes sense given the still burning political currency of its subject mater … The testimonials of the elderly lovers are touching.

Variety, Guy Lodge
