GLOBAL FILM is a new Wednesday event series from filmArche that aims to contribute to the expansion and differentiation of a western-dominated film history narrative.

Once a month we want to take a closer look at the work and realities of filmmakers in the context of their time and culture.

Whether lectures, workshops, film screenings, Q&A’s, discussions and/or a dinner together – the program will be open and colorful. Come in large numbers and be inspired!

presented by Nathalie Tafelmacher

Born in 1938, the French filmmaker founded the first Black Theatre Company in France in 1956. She then studied film in Moscow. Since then she has made over 30 films that deal with important topics from African history and present from a black perspective. We will see two of her works of fiction. The short film Monangambeee was presented at the 1971 Cannes International Film Festival, and the feature film Sambizanga was presented at the 1973 Berlin International Film Festival, where it won a prize.

Nathalie Tafelmacher about herself:
Born in Zürich, Switzerland with French nationality, my family and I have travelled extensively as expatriates, living in countries like Brasil, Indonesia, Turkey… Back in Europe, I studied Art History and Film Studies in France, followed by Fine Arts at Goldsmiths College in London. I studied directing at the filmArche, and Scriptwriting at the Masterschool Drehbuch. I live and work as a filmmaker and artist in Berlin, where I also run the contemporary art project space HilbertRaum with 16 other artists. I teach at the filmArche and I am writing my first feature film project.

For identity-based film festivals, be they Roma film festivals or Jewish or queer or other film festivals, specific questions arise with regard to the organisers, the film programmes and the audiences addressed. Who is the festival aimed at? And with what implicit and explicit aims? What hopes or desires are associated with this visibility? And what difference does it make who the responsible filmmakers are behind a film? What are the political and aesthetic criteria for film selection?

Scientists, activists and filmmakers can sometimes find different answers to these questions. The workshop offers festival organisers, cultural workers, media professionals and other interested parties the opportunity to reflect these questions together. There will be small inputs and room for open discussions. The focus will be on audiovisual visibility, stereotypes and identity politics.

Lea Wohl von Haselberg is part of the jury of 2019’s AKE DIKHEA. She wrote her PhD thesis in Hamburg and Haifa on the depiction of Jewish film characters in (West) German cinema and television. She is a media studies scholar at Film University Babelsberg Konrad Wolf and an associate member of the Selma Stern Center for Jewish Studies. At present, she is working on a research project on German-Jewish film history.
