Filmfestival Münster 2025: FASSADEN

In the organizer's words:

Dok Special at the Münster 2025 Film Festival: In FASSADEN, Sandra Hüller tells the story of a woman who breaks out of a long-term violent relationship and of a political and social system that prefers to look the other way. The film shows the power structures behind the facades and how the state inadequately protects women.

The narrative was condensed from four real-life accounts into one story in order to preserve the anonymity of the women. All the events actually happened, nothing is invented. A dancing couple creates images of a relationship in a black box, highly aesthetic, physical and poetic, thus leaving room for the complexity of such a relationship. The manipulation of the woman is made increasingly visible by means of animation, in which individual frames are printed out on paper, edited and reinserted into the real film. The classic documentary framework is formed by expert interviews that clearly and objectively classify the power relations and relationship structures.
