Christine (35mm)

In the organizer's words:

Director: John Carpenter | USA 1983 | 110 min | 35mm | German dubbed version | with Keith Gordon, John Stockwell, Alexandra Paul

Schoolboy Arnie Cunningham is considered the loser type. When he accidentally discovers a sleek 1958 Plymouth Fury that won't let him go, his life begins to take a turn. He buys the car and does everything he can to restore the classic car to its original condition, proudly naming it Christine. When the car is vandalized one night, Christine comes back to life, repairs herself and takes revenge. No matter how hard you try to destroy her, she keeps coming back to haunt us: the violent return of an icon of US industry in the age of deindustrialization. If you don't believe that cars are endowed with the power of sight and personality, Christine will convince you otherwise. Stephen King's novel was published in 1983 and was released in cinemas in the same year: In the best horror film tradition, genre dialectician Carpenter aims to make us fear evil as much as we may pity it.

Supporting film: Fruit Violence
Director: Jens Willms | Germany 2014 | 1 min | SD Video | Without dialog

Breakfast. A nice cup of coffee and fresh fruit. But then a phone call interrupts the scene and the following scenes play out while Jens Willms is not looking. In short: the yellow dishwashing glove goes completely crazy - when Jens comes back it's too late... The usual humorous quality of old master Jens Willms . We didn't expect too little, and we weren't disappointed. Short and snappy, the title says not too little and not too much about what happens in this short animated film. All garbage says someone? Well, no one can prove what things do when you're not looking. At least as long as it's not filmed. Or did none of this ever happen?
