New Films from Germany

The Museum of Modern Art - MoMA, New York

Part of 32nd annual survey of recent German cinema organized by Laurence Kardish, Senior Curator, Department of Film, in cooperation with German Films Service + Marketing (Munich) and its New York representative, Oliver Mahrdt. Today Tanztraume: Jugendliche Tanzen "Kontakthof" von Pina Bausch (Dancing Dreams: Teenagers Dance Pina Bausch's "Contact Zone") 2010. Germany. Directed by Anne Linsel, Rainer Hoffmann. Screenplay by Linsel. Cinematography by Hoffmann. First Run Features. In 2007, 40 youngsters unfamiliar with choreographer Pina Bausch were recruited from high schools in Wuppertal to practice and eventually perform Bausch's 1987 dance piece "Contact Zone," about various forms of human encounters. The documentary follows the selection of the students and the weekly Saturday rehearsal process led by Bausch dancers Jo-Ann Endicott and Benedicte Billet and supervised by Bausch. Bausch died on June 30, 2009, and her final interview is included in the film. On screening also: Next Generation (2010) h 4:00 p.m., A selection of 11 short fiction, documentary, animated, and experimental films made by students in Germany's various film academies. Picco (2010), written and directed by Philip Koch, with Constantin von Jascheroff, Joel Basman, Frederick Lau, Martin Koerber, Jule Gartzke. Picco is quite an accomplishment for a 27-year-old filmmaker, but it is also very difficult to watch.
