1. Filmfest 2016
Das Filmfest - Festival deutchsprachiger Filme. Every year you can visit
traditional festival of films from Germany, Austria and Switzerland, which could be seen
in Prague or Brno in Czech republic. This whole project runs under the patronage of
Goethe-Institut Prag, Austrian Cultural Forum in Prague and Swiss Embassy.
Our school, especially the students studying German, annually comes to watch
selected movies and learn something new.This year were films projected from 19th to
23rd of October and we were watching some of them during the first day of the festival.
Different classes from our school with their teachers went to see different films. Choice
of my teacher was the film called After Spring Comes Fall, so we watched this one. But
there was also a new version Heidi and The Diary of Anne Frank. For schools there
were prepared some films about teenagers growing up in past times but in present too.
After Spring Comes Fall is film about a woman named Mina who escapes from
Syria and comes as a refugee to Berlin. There she finds some job and for some time
is sending money she made to her family, particularly for her husbands treatment who
had been shotten before she ran away. But this transfering was stalked by Syrian
secret service. These agents force her to work for them - Mina has to plot out
information from the Syrian opposition in exile. Things go comparatively well, but then
she finds out they tortured her man to death, so she kills one of the agents and that is
the moment when film ended.
Most of the films are quite good, but not every time we have luck in choosing
them. This time we were confused by the film. It was interesting, but hard to
understand. I hope, next year we would be luckier.
