Movie Soiree with Joachim Gauck: An evening with the Federal father – Tagesspiegel

Only once, in the middle, the log is a bit nervous. Since accesses Joachim Gauck, the orderly conduct of the event interrupting the microphone and apparently wants desperately to say something. But he had not been initially held a round speech to the 200 assembled of the German film industry, this was not the announced in fine program booklets last evening fine point on the series, the “presentation of music from the movie, Comedian Harmonists’”?

Right. On the one hand. Somehow. Finally, the President had opened the historic first “soiree in honor of the German film” in Berlin’s Schloss Bellevue with an elegant tour d’horizon, here appreciated the film heritage, there, called for more efforts in the film pedagogy and its guests in addition to the speech manuscript all about ” movie Stars “made – no matter” how many people you recognize on the street. ” And with nationwide paternal host heat expressly not only to eat (small fine appetizers), but also invited to drink.

But now have to get that. The movie people love but neither whining nor overburden with the burden of a societal contract, he advises, “but you have a special way”. He remembers to the “incredibly energetic” Refugee Forum from the day before at the same place and dreaming now explicitly of the “energy of those who work politically”, may connect to the artists’ imagination. “I wish encouraged artists – not those who spend the discomfort as a culture with a tragic view”.



“We have to get out into the world,” says director Ali Samadi Ahadi

Clear , a general appeal. But perhaps the reflection of a certain, common in German film family care-laden tone that had previously crept into statements and a short panel discussion. As dedicated Hans-Helmut Prinzler, once longtime head of the German Cinematheque Foundation, his entire word post a Appel for rescuing and restoring old films because lamented “Salami Aleikum’ director Ali Samadi Ahadi cornered the reginonalen film funding policies and calls emphatically:” We have out into the world! “.

But even that of Iris Berben in entirely new role led in delightful fright as presenter podium, occupied with the Oscar winners Volker Schlöndorff (” the Tin drum “, 1980), Caroline link ( “Nowhere in Africa”, 2003) and Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck ( “the lives of others”, 2007), moves more in the melancholic Kleinklein. Caroline Link’s encouragement of young talent for “creative spirit” as can be quite against read as a criticism on that, and Volker Schlöndorff proclaimed categorically: “. Unfortunately we have no film culture, although I am 60 years it aims” That is, at least for a moment, not necessarily winking ironically to understand.

Henckel von Donnersmarck is preparing a rotation before

Only Donnersmarck, adds more headroom whose mighty Hahnenkamm by Haarschopf the powerful figure, white from undivided to report his experiences in Los Angeles Positive “. If there is a German film will be shown, the cinema is full” but he is known to be already a man of energy on a large scale: Currently he is preparing a rotation – working title: “work without author “- before in Germany, playing at the Nazi and SED time together a supporting role. And just Nazi and Stasi agents vouch for the international success of German cinema, which is proven by the Oscar movie themes of the information gathered on the podium prominence.

To glamor but it does not go that night, but to substance to self-understanding at the most unusual place. And to fundamental passion for film that combines the guests from many professions of cinema. Fits but when the host mucking spontaneously in his own way. And turns out to be the announced music presentation as a live performance by the actors of the hit films “Comedian Harmonists” from 1997 (!), The magnificently illuminated Large castle hall transformed almost into a concert or party location. Already sparkles also the “little bit of luck,” the fantasy-fueled German film in between – somewhere, somehow, sometime
