In the organizer's words:

BRD 2025, documentary film, 87 min

Director: Alina Cyranek

Language: OmeU (German with English subtitles)

Content Notes: 1, 2

Hidden behind the facades of houses are power structures that favor perpetrators and inadequately protect women. FASSADEN accompanies a woman on her way out of a long-term violent relationship and shows how politics and society still fail too often. The film gives a survivor new space and a voice to free herself from the role of victim and reclaim her life. It relentlessly and poignantly documents a fight against violence - and against a system that still tends to look the other way rather than actually providing concrete help.

Followed by a discussion with director Alina Cyranek.

ENG: Behind the facades of houses lie power structures that favor perpetrators and provide women with insufficient protection. FACADES accompanies a woman on her journey out of a long-term violent relationship and shows how politics and society continue to fail. The film gives a survivor space and a voice to free herself from the role of victim and reclaim her life. It relentlessly and powerfully documents a struggle against violence - and against a system that is more likely to look away than to actually provide concrete help. (German with English subtitles)
