»Looking Back to the Present« – Filmprogramm 2

In the organizer's words:

'Schwesterherz'
D/ES 2025, Director: Sarah Miro Fischer, 96 min, OmeU

Rose moves in with her brother Sam, whom she loves, for a short time. Her life is carefree and she seems to have got over the break-up with her girlfriend when she unexpectedly receives a summons to appear as a witness. The accusation of rape is made against her brother. A personal and moral drama unfolds calmly and prudently, cleverly exploring the dilemma in which a person must question their unconditional love.

'Looking Back'
D 2025, Director: Daniel Asadi Faezi, Mila Zhluktenko, 14 min, OmeU

A shopping center. A blurry movie. An assassination attempt. Fragile connecting lines are drawn from the archives. A collage of memory that reaches into the present of German history.

About the film series

Looking Back to the Present
From November 14 to December 19, 2025, we will be transforming our historic hall in the former E-Werk into a venue for film events. Current festival films, historical works and experimental short films will be shown - accompanied by guests such as the musician Sky Deep or the filmmakers Ulrike Ottinger and Julian Radlmaier. The series combines the present and film history and invites you to experience the Kinemathek as a place of exchange in a new way.
