Acht Jahre später ist aus einem französischen Comic der aufwändigste koreanische Film aller Zeiten geworden. <I>Seolguk-yeolcha </I>(<I>Snowpiercer</I>) beschreibt eine bevorstehende menschengemachte Eiszeit, deren letzte Überlebende in einem Schnellzug ohne Halt um den Globus kreisen. Die reichen Überlebenden reisen in den vorderen Waggons, die armen, aus deren Perspektive die Geschichte erzählt ist, in den hinteren. Zur Aufführung im <I>Forum</I> werden Produzent Park Chan-wook, Regisseur Bong Joon-ho, Darsteller Song Kang-ho, Ko Asung, John Hurt und Tilda Swinton sowie der Autor Jean-Marc Rochette erwartet.</SPAN></div>

Der Anti-Musikfilm verweigert sich den Klischees des Musikfilmgenres. Nie sieht man die im Berliner Exil lebende österreichische Gruppe spielen.

Dreimal reiste der Ethnologe Ende der 1970er Jahre zu den Magar in Nepal, um deren Schamanismus zu erforschen.

Das unter dem damaligen Titel „Memory of the Camps“ gezeigte Werk ist nun im britischen Imperial War Museum unter der Leitung von Toby Haggith rekonstruiert und vervollständigt worden und erlebt im diesjährigen <I>Forum</I> seine Uraufführung, fast sieben Jahrzehnte nach der Entstehung. <I>German Concentration Camps Factual Survey</I> entstand 1945 aus Aufnahmen, die die Briten bei der Befreiung des KZs Bergen-Belsen gemacht hatten, ergänzt durch Aufnahmen der Amerikaner und Sowjets von Lagern im Süden Deutschlands und im besetzten Polen. Der Film war konzipiert, um die Deutschen mit ihrer Schuld zu konfrontieren; als Berater wurde niemand Geringeres als Alfred Hitchcock engagiert. Doch das Werk verschwand in den Archiven –
von den Umständen berichtet auch der als <I>Berlinale Special</I> gezeigte Dokumentarfilm <I>Night Will Fall</I>.</SPAN></div>

Die meisten burmesischen Klassiker sind verloren und verschollen, die Negative und Kopien zerstört. Von einer analogen Videokopie ausgehend wurde jüngst der 1972 entstandene Schwarzweißfilm <I>Ché phawa daw nu nu</I> (<I>Tender are the Feet</I>) von Maung Wunna restauriert, eine romantische Liebesgeschichte, die mit überlieferten Formen brach und für die jünste Generation burmesischer Filmemacher als wichtige Referenz dient.</SPAN></div>

Der Schüler von Yasujiro Shimazu prägte mit seinen Familien-Melodramen das japanische Kino der 1940er bis 60er Jahre. In Zusammenarbeit mit dem japanischen Festival Tokyo FILMeX zeigt das <I>Forum</I> drei Werke des Regisseurs in neuen 35mm-Kopien. Die zwischen 1951 und 1964 gedrehten Filme handeln von zerfallenden Familienstrukturen, von rebellierenden Töchtern und demonstrieren in ihrer Gesamtheit eindrucksvoll den Wertewandel im Nachkriegsjapan.</SPAN></div>

The musicians hang out in a smoky bar before a show, pack up their instruments after a rehearsal, leisurely drink coffee or smoke cigarettes as a summer breeze caresses the reeds growing alongside a stretch of abandoned railroad track. </SPAN></div>
