Even last year, since they had been elected to the newly Chairman of the European Film Academy (EFA), Agnieszka Holland thought quite differently. A “political institution” and wished the EFA will be never, ever, she reiterated before the award of the European Film Awards in Riga. But it was, she writes in the brochure for the Awards Gala on Saturday distributed in Berlin, now just pure wishful thinking – because “how can we ignore what is happening around us”
In fact, changed the continent, the composite of now more than 3,300 film artists, founded in 1988 in the still walled West Berlin gives its name, currently dramatically. And concern about Europe’s democracies to the future of its civilizational values, yes, to our cultural homeland ever turns out to be the leitmotif gala at Haus der Berliner Festspiele. While EFA President Wim Wenders rather abstract evokes responsibility, “in times like these the voice rise to” the Pole Agnieszka Holland is unmistakably concrete before the 1,000 guests: “I have lived under totalitarian regimes a part of my life. . I do not want them to return “

France, what has been longing country
It is the day 50 000 people demonstrated at the in Warsaw against the new government, which is preparing to make Hungarian standards in Poland. And it is the day before the runoff election for the French regional elections, in which precisely the Rechtsextremistin Marine Le Pen expanding their power base – in a country that is looking at the same time upholding its historic liberty, equality and Brüderlichkeitswerte against terrorist attacks. Since it touches on in various ways when the actor Burghart Klaußner intones at the gala with delicately sparse expectant voice Charles Trenet’s chanson “La douce France” – a declaration of love to the land that the singer “preserved in the heart / whether in joy or in pain “.
Everything Serious is connected to everything that night, which, so unexpectedly as convincingly transformed into a political cultural demonstration. And even the seemingly Allerfernste is amazingly close. So the young, educated at the Paris Femis film school Turk Deniz Gamze Ergüven awarded the Young Investigator Award for her directorial debut “Mustang” in the iron five rebellious sibling girls in the area of Trabzon, less than 100 kilometers from the border with Georgia located on the Black Sea coast, be prepared for Verheiratungsrituale and serving women’s roles. The co-produced with France and Germany film is on the EFA Gala not only because at home, because the academy Turkey anyway one of its member countries for their European part. But it comes in the family of structurally so sinister, yet painful sun-baked film (release date: March 3) to conflicts such as those fought in many Muslim households in Central Europe

tribute to imprisoned Turkish Chief Editor
Even more: The 37-year-old filmmaker devotes its price explicitly the imprisoned since two and a half weeks editor of “Cumhuriyet”, Can Dündar. Because his newspaper revealed that the Turkish secret service illegally supplied in food-truck arms to the IS, President Erdogan has personally filed a complaint against Dündar and wishes him a life sentence. Political observers now suspect that is accused the journalist, the espionage and propaganda for a terrorist organization, after a lengthy pre-trial detention with a similar fate threatens as in Ukraine the filmmakers and Maidan activists Oleg Senzow. Meanwhile, an appeal against a penalty imposed in the summer 20-year sentence was recently rejected
Amid great applause then reads Daniel Brühl in the sense unadorned aligned Gala a solidarity message for Senzow -. And so also this element adds in an image where the Fierce and artistic complement always sharp. Of course more traditional European experience happiness that evening. Approximately when the party living in London and Paris Pole Pawel Pawlikowski, the last year with “Ida” won the European Film Award, the nominated directors so knowledgeable and differentiated praises that afterwards the losers are likely to feel comforted fundamentally. Or if the Swede Roy Andersson the award for best comedy with almost childlike joy accepts – in his native Sweden consider it his everyday and colonialism critical grotesque “A pigeon sitting on a branch, thinking about life after” just for a bleak dystopia.

Otherwise, can complain, with some justification, that the already often doyen centered event, this time particularly Elderly suitable fails. Although the big winner Paolo Sorrentino, expected to be compensated by the European colleagues for the ignorance of this year’s Cannes jury, may be only 45, but “Eternal Youth”, for “La grande bellezza” his second EFA triumph within two years is now times primarily of two old artists. And actor Michael Caine (82) took two prizes, as did the 69-year-old Charlotte Rampling, also for his life’s work and her role in “45 years” – as they like even as much as anyone act that is not in 70 years.
The fact that Europe doing in terms of film not consistently “Old World” is proving about three times nominated “Victoria”, only goes Sebastian Schipper imposing Berliner One-Take-adventure yet. On the other hand, according to the six German Film Awards in the summer now still on top Europe-gloss? That would be because it was a bit much of the parochial pleasure.
If something is massively disturbed at this 28th European Film Awards Gala, it’s the little contagious excoriated awareness of the moderator Thomas “nonsense Comedy Club” Hermanns. Completely unaffected by the soul-stirring binding sound when the event gets together again, he rewinds his rather uninspired joke intermezzi down – and does so once again the loss of Anke Engelke clear for years with intelligence, speed, verve and especially originality led by the gala evenings. But such objections are as important at present, what luxury means it, they formulate at all?
Paolo Sorrentino makes it shortly
At some point, when the group photos of the winners on stage already in the box are, the winners go into small groups again when gathered in a bare Outbuildings international press pass. Sir Michael Caine holds in his inimitable way, good humor and anecdotes spreading yard, and already takes his director beside him on black Plastikstühlchen place. Paolo Sorrentino is an unquestionably great filmmakers, but also a fundamentally unwilling speakers, and it also makes it very particular here shortly. To the “understanding of freedom that we have”, it go in his film “Eternal Youth”, he says. And that’s going in Europe.
The latter is undisputed. About the former, one could think, after another visit to the cinema. Never hurts.
