The subject is sad but the movie is funny, captivating and well played.
“Every year, increasingly more filmmakers view what is happening in the world through the eyes of young people. Erbsen auf halb 6 (Peas at 5:30) is one of my favourites. Along with the young main actor Karl Alexander Seidel the film’s illustrious ensemble includes Moritz Bleibtreu, Anke Engelke, Christiane Paul, Uwe Ochsenknecht, Edgar Selge and Eva Mattes. Lippels Traum by Lars Büchel ( Erbsen auf halb 6) will celebrate its world premiere in Generation Kplus. We are eager to engage in the controversial discussions that this work will provoke across the generations”, says section director Maryanne Redpath.Ī German film has also been confirmed. “We cannot ignore documentary material that has such an enormous impact on the screen. In Los herederos, Mexican director Eugenio Polgovsky sensitively but persistently observes how hard work defines the lives and existence of children and their families. A record number of more than 1000 films have been submitted this year.įor the first time, Generation will screen a documentary for its younger audiences in the Kplus competition. Thirteen films have already been selected to participate in the Generation section of the Berlinale 2009 - seven in Kplus and six in 14plus.
