'Be more than a spectator - doing politics in and beyond the cinema' The curtain is rising for globale05 - spectators to protagonists, consumers to producers. The world in close-up for seven days: Exploitation and deprivation of rights, bordercrossing and deportation, war and corporate power, fight and hope. Cinema as a space for a critical public and films as a political medium - in and beyond the movie theatre. The globale is a one week filmfestival that takes place in Berlin, presenting films, organizing discussions and offering workshops for and together with a diverse group of participants. It has a special part dedicated to getting in touch with and starting discussions with pupils and teachers. Until mid-2005 part of the globale05 program is going on tour through different towns in Germany, perhaps even Europe. (Throughout the year we are involved in political fights and activities going on around us, in what we call political interventions: supporting the anti-deportation campaign by our cooperating partner FIB (refugee initiative Brandenburg), participating in the European Social Forum, organizing workshops during left-wing-union conventions with our partner labourB.) Organized by a heterogeneous group of political activists, artists and filmaddicts the globale is an invitation to common reflexion and participation - because political films need political movement.

"You traitors, collaborators, you that have sold the land of those who are not even born yet, you liars ... in the name of Hassan Sabbah". William Burroughs, Nova Express.

A depressed man lies down in a hotel room. He's having a imaginary conversation with his ex-wife about the reasons of their divorce. “The Actors” on the film are speech-synthezisers.

My father was a wrestler before me. You never stop being a wrestler. "Remarkable in just how much you can achieve in a short time and on the lowest of budgets, Wrestling with my Father simply depicts Fairbanks' dad in the audience of a wrestling match (apparently with the filmmaker as one of the wrestlers). Within this extraordinarily simple set-up are whole worlds of humour, pathos and intrigue." - Montreal Mirror -

Source material is a found footage super 8 film. The visual carrier was attacked in a multitude of ways. It was scratched, cut open and violated. I captured an attempt to screen it. There it burned and was destroyed by the projector. Sorry little film. With the video footage I provoked the encoding. As a result some pixels were dislocated. In the end I reshot the film from the monitor while I somehow angered the cables that connect the monitor with my computer. That all may sound very negative and destructive to you dear reader but the goal was an almost humanist one: Unification of the digital with the anologue world. They seem so far apart and yet they aren't. By exposing every material's weaknesses and injuries it was made one. It's all visual sensations in the end. Rita Hayworth grindily sings along.
