They call themselves the Sunshine family, have lively discussions
about politics and gas prices, take trips and are faithfully devoted
to each other after many years of marriage, including the good morning
kiss...
Mrs. Müller loves Mr. Müller, and he loves her unconditionally.
They’ve been married for 45 years now. 18 years ago he suffered a
stroke with a subsequent locked-in-syndrome, Mr. Müller is no longer
able to talk, and can merely move his eyelid and one thumb. With the
help of portable lifts and a wheelchair, Mrs. Müller lifts him out of
bed, takes him for walks and feeds him beer through his stomach tube.
Most of all, she helps him communicate with coded messages by
blinking. Mrs. Müller laughs, Mr. Müller grins. The film tells the
story of their love. Even though Mr. Müller is no longer able to talk,
this couple has way more to say than many others.

‘Then indeed there’s got to be, what do I know, something good’ is a
quote from the conversation Fassbinder has with his mother at the
beginning of Germany in Autumn: the momentous essay-film that
continues to be associated with the Red Army Faction (RAF) to this
day. 38 years later a son once again talks to his mother. The
thirty-minute film is his attempt to establish connections, seek
traces, and reconstruct different stories without necessarily aligning
them. One of these stories is the history of a radio mast that was
blown up in 1986. Another one is the political story of people being
illegalized due to state suspicion and collective silence. Also, there
is the media history of the RAF. Its aesthetic-political appearance
appealed to the arts, which the film traces and enacts in past and
present. And last but not least, it is the personal story of Dedek
whose parents were sentenced for an attack they never carried out.

January 21 - 22, 2017
The FISDN presents film secions focused on different countries and regions. This section intends to discover and explore different spaces and cultures with the aim to understand the specific regional, political and social circumstances, do reconstruct the emotional and intellectual spécificities of a special region or country. In this critical work we belief it's essencial to prefer films which rufuse, in its form and expression, the retake of sterotype ways of reality restituition. This refuse is an act of resistance against the actual period of "globalisation", which inclins to impose one dominating model of culture and habitutes.
