In the organizer's words:

How do short films narrate politics, identity and resistance today? How is the political gaze changing in film? - Six films, six perspectives

Short films are more than artistic miniatures - they are mirrors of social realities and testimonies of political memory. The "NOW" program invites you to discover the political language of short film over several decades - from the 1980s to the present day.

Six outstanding works show how themes such as resistance, identity and social change are articulated on film - and what has changed "now".

The works on show are

DER ANSCHLAG (1984/ 9 min./ Pia Frankenberg)

No.1 - From reports of the guard and patrol services (1985/ 11 min./ Helke Sander)

Ayny (2016/ 10:48 min./ Ahmad Saleh)

Summer Story (2017/ 10:40 min./ Yana Ugrekhelidze)

Euphrates (2020/ 3:39 min./ Jelena Ilic)

PIECHT (2023/ 30 min./ Luka Lara Steffen)

The program will be followed by an open discussion with the filmmakers:

Jelena Ilic (director "Euphrat") & Luka Lara Steffen (director "PIECHT")

In conversation with the audience, we want to examine

What has changed? How do short films today narrate politics, identity, resistance and reality?

Moderation & curation: Ruhat Yildiz

The event is supported by the Academy of Media Arts Cologne.
