After its third edition in Berlin, Vision\u00e4r will be in Mainz for the first time from the 5th<\/sup>\u00a0to the 9th<\/sup>\u00a0of June with a selection of films and short films presented in Berlin.\u00a0Cin\u00e9Mayence and Kunsthalle Mainz<\/strong>\u00a0will be our host.<\/p>\n The aim of the festival is to support and network emerging young directors from all over the world and filmmakers from Germany, as well as to promote an exchange between them and the public. The young directors, with their subjective point of view which can be read in the imagery and the stories told, provide insights into different cultures and realities of life. They are critical ambassadors of their countries of origin, who provide current insights into everyday life and bring viewers closer to other cultures by addressing differences and commonalities. They are called to share their ideas of a homeland with the spectators. The medium of film is more suitable than any other media for transporting stories and emotions that anyone can understand. The images arouse feelings that speak a universal language. The selected films are diverse, heterogeneous, sometimes contradictory, always surprising – <\/strong>and that\u2019s why they\u2019re so exciting.<\/p>\n From Chile to\u00a0Kazakhstan, traveling through Hungary and France<\/strong>, this edition in Mainz takes on different topics, including: Social classes clashes and the dis-illusion of a new possible society; the role of women and the exploration of femininity in a still patriarchal society which doesn\u2019t deny its stereotypes and abuses; the\u00a0lucha<\/em>\u00a0of a queer body fiercely opposing his own farewell.. and much more!<\/p>\n The Homage will be dedicated to Agn\u00e8s Varda<\/strong>, our beloved visionary auteur. \u201cAvant-garde but popular, intimate yet universal, her films have led the way\u201d (Cannes 2019). Vision\u00e4r Film Festival wants to thank her for her vision, empathy and engagement presenting her first film, shot when she was just 26: La Pointe Courte<\/strong><\/em> (1955). Her first film could be considered the forerunner of the French Nouvelle Vague, for its documentary realism, feminist issues and social commentary with an experimental style. Varda\u2019s work was central to the development of the French Nouvelle Vague: her locations and work with amateur actors were unconventional and groundbreaking in those years.<\/p>\n August 1954: La Pointe Courte<\/em> is an impoverished seaside fishing village in southern France, where the fishermen scratch a living trawling for shellfish. In the summer light, Silvia Monfort and Philippe Noiret explore their fragile love.<\/p>\n As a multimedia event, Vision\u00e4r will present Kino Sonico: a film concert where on an experimental and silent short film by Stan Brakhage, Frau W will compose and plays an original score.<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=”0″ override_padding=”yes” h_padding=”1″ top_padding=”0″ bottom_padding=”0″ overlay_alpha=”100″ gutter_size=”3″ column_width_percent=”100″ shift_y=”0″ z_index=”0″][vc_column column_width_use_pixel=”yes” align_horizontal=”align_center” overlay_alpha=”50″ gutter_size=”3″ medium_width=”0″ mobile_width=”0″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ column_width_pixel=”800″][vc_button button_color=”color-jevc” shadow=”yes” shadow_weight=”sm” border_width=”0″ icon_position=”right” css_animation=”bottom-t-top” animation_speed=”600″ link=”url:http%3A%2F%2Fwww.visionaerfilmfestival.com%2Fmainz%2F2019%2F|title:VFF%202019||” icon=”fa fa-long-arrow-right”]To Mainz 2019[\/vc_button][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row unlock_row_content=”yes” row_height_percent=”0″ override_padding=”yes” h_padding=”1″ top_padding=”2″ bottom_padding=”2″ overlay_alpha=”50″ gutter_size=”3″ column_width_percent=”100″ shift_y=”0″ z_index=”0″][vc_column width=”1\/1″][vc_gallery el_id=”gallery-164748″ medias=”71039,71195,71221,71272″ gutter_size=”1″ media_items=”media|lightbox|original,icon,title,caption” screen_lg=”1000″ screen_md=”600″ screen_sm=”480″ single_width=”3″ images_size=”sixteen-nine” single_overlay_color=”accent” single_overlay_opacity=”50″ single_v_position=”bottom” single_padding=”1″ single_title_transform=”uppercase” single_title_family=”font-762333″ single_title_weight=”700″ single_title_space=”fontspace-781688″ lbox_title=”yes” lbox_caption=”yes”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [vc_row unlock_row_content=”yes” row_height_percent=”0″ override_padding=”yes” h_padding=”2″ top_padding=”3″ bottom_padding=”3″ overlay_alpha=”100″ gutter_size=”3″ column_width_percent=”100″ shift_y=”0″ z_index=”0″][vc_column column_width_use_pixel=”yes” overlay_alpha=”50″ gutter_size=”3″ medium_width=”0″ mobile_width=”0″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":72314,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[93],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"\nFeature Films:<\/strong><\/h4>\n
