[vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/1″][vc_custom_heading auto_text=”yes” heading_semantic=”h3″ separator=”under” separator_color=”yes” sub_lead=”yes”]A Journey From Latin America to Latvia Through the Gaze of New Daring Directors[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”127112″]We are overjoyed to be back in Mainz <\/strong>for the 3rd<\/sup> time from October 8 – 10<\/strong> in the iconic CAPITOL&PALATIN<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

Last year our event, like the entire cultural sector and beyond, suffered the impact of the general pandemic situation. For this reason, this year we decided to repeat the focus on the up-and-coming young filmmakers from Northern Europe<\/strong> and to promote an exchange between them and the audience. We are convinced that the directors we show can open up new perspectives and visions on our society and thus contribute to important social debates.\u00a0The stories the filmmakers tell are as diverse as the different cultures of the Northern European countries: local and universal, empathic and abstract, analytical and stirring, daring and new.<\/p>\n

The selected films are chosen to\u00a0represent, in an innovative cinematic way, the current state of the Northern European world.<\/strong>\u00a0We support feature-length films that overcome the traditional classifications of genres and are bold enough to take a look at the present: a present which oscillates between realistic, fantastic and political realities.\u00a0Through their subjective point of view, which can be read in the visual language and the stories told, they give insights into different cultures and realities of life. As ambassadors, they give contemporary insights into everyday life and bring other cultures closer to the audience by addressing contrasts and similarities. The medium of film is suited like no other to transport stories and emotions that everyone can understand. The pictures arouse feelings that speak a universal language.<\/p>\n

Countries in focus of this year\u2019s edition are Denmark, Finland, Georgia, Norway and Sweden<\/strong>.\u00a0Vision\u00e4r will offer a selection of first\/second feature films, short films and the homage to a well-established director.<\/p>\n

Opening Night: KINO SONICO<\/b><\/p>\n

As part of the 3rd edition of Vision\u00e4r Film Festival Mainz, KINO SONICO presents a film concert evening at CAPITOL&PALATIN for the Opening Night.\u00a0 A women’s project in which the well-known electronic musician <\/span>Akkamiau<\/b> develops new scores for the silent film <\/span>La Tierra de los Toros<\/em> (The Land of the Bulls<\/em>, 1924) by Musidora<\/b>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

KINO SONICO aims to reinterpret and rediscover historical films through contemporary experimental music. Through its anachronistic approach, KINO SONICO aims to condense new connections, counterpoints, and areas of tension into an intense body of work. Akkamiau has an extensive background in experimental music as well as experience with works that incorporate cinematic elements.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Musidora is best known for her roles as a silent film actress, particularly for her portrayal of the mythical figure in black tights Irma Vep in Louis Feuillade’s soap opera Les Vampires. Musidora was also active as a director and producer. Many of her films are considered lost, but three important works have survived: For Don Carlos – Sun and Shadow – Land of the Bulls. The latter was restored by the <\/span>CNC – Centre national du cin\u00e9ma et de l’image anim\u00e9e.<\/b><\/p>\n

Homage to Aki Kaurism\u00e4ki:\u00a0Calamari Union<\/em><\/strong><\/h5>\n

The festival always opens with a tribute to an internationally established director, who we honour with the screening of his\/her debut film. This homage to the beginnings is intended to encourage young filmmakers to trust their talent and to critically confront the economic constraints of the film industry. The first feature-length films are always groundbreaking: often still inspired by their role models, they show the will to develop an unmistakable signature, which is reflected in both style and content. These films are often freer and more courageous than later films, which are often under enormous market pressure to succeed.<\/p>\n

In 2021 Vision\u00e4r will pay homage to the Finnish director Aki Kaurism\u00e4ki<\/strong> by showing his second feature film: the surreal comedy Calamari Union<\/em> (1985)<\/strong>, whose cast includes well-known Finnish actors and rock musicians.<\/p>\n

Kaurism\u00e4ki is known for his extremely minimalist style. He has been called an auteur filmmaker because he writes, directs, produces and usually edits the films himself, adding his personal “drollery and deadpan” style. Events are shown in a plain way and the characters are usually left alone to deal with the consequences. However, despite their tragedies and setbacks, the characters do not give up and eventually survive.<\/p>\n

Kaurism\u00e4ki’s most acclaimed film is The Man Without a Past<\/strong><\/em> (Mies vailla menneisyytt\u00e4<\/em>), which won the Grand Prize and the Ecumenical Jury Prize at the 2002 Cannes Film Festival. The Other Side of Hope <\/strong><\/em>(Toivon tuolla puolen, 2017<\/em>) won the Silver Bear for Best Director at the 67th Berlin International Film Festival.<\/p>\n
