The Lawyers poster
5.7

In the early 1970s, Otto Schily and Hans-Christian Ströbele were part of the group of attorneys of the left-wing extraparliamentary opposition in Germany. In this function, they, for instance, represented the militant Horst Mahler in court. One thing that united all three of them was their goal to create a new and different republic. They viewed Federal Germany as an oppressor of political freedom and as a vassal of the United States. Today, Schily is a former Federal Minister of the Interior with a firmly conservative stance and Ströbele is a well-respected member of the left wing of the Green Party in the German parliament while Mahler has again come into conflict with the law because of his extremist right-wing activities.

Der Illusionist poster
6.0

A dazzling picture of the world's most successful art dealer: Helge Achenbach. When he forges invoices and calls the result a "collage", he falls into a deep slump. At the same time, the film is a grotesque about the development of the art market into a speculative exchange - driven by greed, a thirst for recognition and the grand illusion that the value of a painting can be measured by its price.

The Children of Korntal poster
NR

In Korntal, a small town of 9,000 souls in Baden-Württemberg, hundreds of children were abused in the homes of the Evangelical Brethren since the 1950s. Forced labour, physical punishment and sexualised violence were the order of the day. To date, more than 150 former children have broken their silence, more than 80 perpetrators have been identified. Because the latter covered for each other and the neighbours looked away, the children were defenceless against the abuse for decades. When the scandal was exposed in 2013, the community and the village were hostile at first: That which must not be cannot be. It was only when the pressure from the outside grew that the community initiated a process of dealing with the scandal. But it is controversial: victims are re-traumatised, their statements doubted. To this day the children from Korntal are fighting for investigation and compensation.

Petra Kelly - Act Now! poster
7.9

The German documentary is dedicated to an influential figure of the 20th century: Petra Kelly spent her life campaigning for feminism, environmental activism, human rights and peace. She was a political co-founder of the Green Party in the 1970s and 80s and protested against nuclear missiles in West Germany at the height of the Cold War. Above all, however, she believed that one person could very well change the world and thus rose to become an icon of the peace movement.

Sometimes, I Imagine Them All at a Party poster
NR

Soberly and with restraint, the director reconstructs the attempted femicide she survived fourteen years before. Intense conversations with people from her past provide an external perspective on an act subjectively and objectively impossible to grasp.
