- The aura of girls doesn't need the sun to glow. That is the essence of RP Kahl's documentary "Sunday Girls", which follows four young actresses - Laura Tonke, Nicolette Krebitz, Katharina Schuettler and Inga Birkenfeld - through different seasons and landscapes. Between naiveté and experience, wishes and wants the four women tell about their jobs with great honesty. They talk about theatre, about the myths of cinema and the magic of making the first film. They show how one needs to become stubborn and uncompromising to avoid getting lost in the demands of contemporary media. These four portraits never get too close and leave the women enough freedom to experiment in front of the camera. The struggle between acting and authenticity is always visible and makes this documentary so utterly fascinating to watch.
- "Nicaragua was the Vietnam of my generation" The filmmaker returns to neoliberal Nicaragua, battered by war and corruption: a Nicaragua which 20 years previously had offered one of the last social utopias that was the rallying point for thousands from around the world. There was a hope that the small country would be able to triumph over poverty and discrimination within a system of political plurality, a mixed economic system, and remain independent of world political blocks: the hope that David really could beat Goliath. The film returns to the past and attempts to cautiously sense a path forwards in a new unknown situation: memories and observations of the current state of affairs. In the middle point are women who had taken up arms years ago, and how they now struggle to survive today. What remains from the dream for independence and justice?
