Friendly Fire

Erich Fried is among the most significant German-language poets. Having fled Vienna, he became an awkward writer after 1945, who condemned injustices in verse and believed in the power of love. What is it like to grow up as the son of such an icon? Klaus Fried examines his father’s life and discovers an empathetic troublemaker.

300 Trillion – The Debt Trap

A Provincial Hospital

Dr. Popov and his team are pushed to their limits as their sleepy Bulgarian provincial town of Kyustendil is hit by the Covid-19 pandemic. In an endless stream, family members, neighbors and classmates find themselves side by side in respiratory unit beds, or standing at the bedsides. When patients are discharged, transferred to intensive care, or die, a new patient immediately takes their place.

The humane and resolute nurses and doctors manage to keep their spirits up with black humor, because death is a constant presence in this medical microcosm and it’s impossible to add up the overtime. In cinema verité style, the filmmakers follow the medical staff through corridors echoing with both moans and laughter.

Ilian Metev—who previously examined the Bulgarian healthcare system in Sofia’s Last Ambulance (2012)—and his co-directors Ivan Chertov and Zlatina Teneva carefully steer clear of sensationalism. Provincial Hospital, awarded at the Karlovy Vary film festival, focuses on the medical staff and their experiences of the crisis.

"Shooting stars" It’s a midnight song about masculinity, joy and rivalry.

The viewer is an observer of one night on one street. The filmmaker is an observer of one night on one street. He sees only what he can imagine, and he hears what he wants to hear. The distant eye is getting closer and makes the images sharper but the interpretation stays inside the observer's head.

Official selection at the Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival 2019 Lab Competition.
