HYSTERIA

Mehmet Akif Büyükatalay

Germany｜2025｜Fiction Feature

104 min｜German, English, Turkish, Kurdish, Arabic

2025 Berlin International Film Festival

[Winner] Panorama - Label Europa Cinemas

When a burned Quran is found on a film set, the shoot takes a dark turn and the crew are thrown into turmoil. Caught in the crossfire, an intern, Elif, is drawn into a dangerous game of secrets, accusations and lies. Mehmet Akif Büyükatalay’s ambiguous, provocative conspiracy thriller plays with the film-within-a-film motif and is rich in unexpected twists. The film is a piercing reflection on the power of images and the dynamics of perception, projection and societal hysteria.

THE MOELLN LETTERS

Martina Priessner

[Winner] Panorama Dokumente - Audience Award

In November 1992, a racist arson attack in Mölln shattered the lives of İbrahim Arslan and his family. At just seven years old, İbrahim survived, but he lost his sister, his cousin and his grandmother. In the aftermath of the attacks, the city received hundreds of letters of solidarity which were ignored for nearly three decades. Woven into İbrahim’s poignant journey of discovery and his encounters with three letter writers, these rediscovered letters form a visual and emotional bridge between past and present. The film follows İbrahim and his siblings, painting a complex portrait of the lasting trauma that continues to affect them to this day. While İbrahim has found a way to cope by fighting against racism and advocating for a remembrance culture centred on the victims’ perspectives, his brother Namik is still at the beginning of his journey to come to terms with the traumatic experiences.

The film not only amplifies the perspectives of the victims and survivors but also uncovers the vibrant solidarity that once existed – a solidarity of which the victims and survivors were previously unaware. It offers a new perspective on remembrance – one that takes the voices of survivors and their experiences seriously and provides them with the space and recognition that they deserve.

PRIDE & ATTITUDE

Gerd Kroske

Germany｜2025｜Documentary

113 min｜German

2025 Berlin International Film Festival

Forum

The views of female employees of large factories in a country that no longer exists. Pride & Attitude. A title appropriately settled at the intersection of Kluge/Negt and Jane Austen. The protagonists in Gerd Kroske’s latest survey of the past and the state of affairs in the context and afterlife of East Germany are concerned with both – labour power and questions of women, as in questions about possibilities as a woman to work, participate actively in social life and achieve self-realisation. Or the question of why men take these issues for granted, ultimately regardless of the political system. “The mantle of history blows in favour of those with enough breath to determine the direction of the wind,” states Christa Wolf in a quote at the start of the film. Woman, East Germany, West Germany: Kroske creates an experimental set-up with split screens and asks, “What was once gained – what is lost?” The film presents U-matic footage of female industrial workers in the early 1990s shot by Leipzig’s Kanal X to document real dismantling and layoffs. Today, the same women speak again about the loss of their hard-won sovereignty. This is also a  multi-channel film.

IN MY PARENTS' HOUSE

[Winner] Tiger Award - Special Jury Award

In her parents’ house, Holle’s brother Sven has been living in silent isolation for decades. He remains detached from the family’s life, seeming to fade away more and more each year. What goes on inside him is a mystery to everyone, and his family has quietly come to terms with the situation - a fragile balance of silence and tolerance. Only Holle is the one who has never fully accepted this situation. Nevertheless, she no longer brings it up, focusing instead on her new calling as a spiritual healer. For the first time, Holle is taking steps toward her own self-fulfillment. But when her mother is unexpectedly admitted to the hospital, the deceptive calm shatters. Holle is increasingly confronted with her brother’s worsening condition and becomes determined to help him, despite his resistance and the family’s reluctance. While her other siblings look away, Holle senses a far greater crisis looming.
