GOETHE FILMS: Oberhausen on Tour - Int'l competition
Tuesday, March 12: The International Competition
Snow Tapes, by Mich’ael Zupraner
Israel / Palestinian territories 2011
Watching home movies with the Al-Haddad family, Hebron, West Bank: snow, settlers, and souvenirs. Images of stones thrown and beatings blend in with humorous digressions, cinematographic critiques, and the obligatory tea ritual.
Ersatz, by Elodie Pong
Switzerland / France 2011
In an exchange about the meaning of the word ‘Ersatz‘, the two protagonists engage in an absurd and poetical discussion. Their pictorial dialogue about the idea of replaceability turns into a humorous and philosophical meditation.
Malody, by Phillip Barker
Canada 2012
Malody is terminally ill. She sits with her father in a restaurant inside a big wooden wheel. A little girl enters and turns the restaurant upside down. Malody dies and is taken to a river by her dad. She is brought back to life by the little girl. (see photo)
Hirvikuiskaaja (The Elk Whisperer), by Ilkka Rautio

A short documentary about an encounter between elk whisperer and elk at the beginning of the hunting season.

According to a Peruvian saying the soul of a deceased person returns in the form of a donkey. The portrait of two Peruvian families who have a special bond with a donkey.

A young couple finds itself speaking about things they have never spoken about before, as they try to find their place in a changing world.
