Luz de redención

Nicht böse sein!

Three men in a shared apartment, 54 square meters in Berlin Kreuzberg. You sleep in the kitchen, bathroom and half room. Junkies, ex-knackis and alcoholics between Hartz IV, the next shot, vodka and beer - the nightmare of any bourgeois neighborhood. Andi dreams of his own apartment, Dieter has to go into construction for 100 days, and Wolfgang writes poems. In the claustrophobic narrowness of this community of foggy spirits, happiness and love act like shadows of a time long gone by. As it comes to stirring moments in the dirt, chaos and despair, the conflicts break through increasingly stronger: the electricity bill, the rent, the stolen sweaters. But Andi brings the seemingly paradoxical of her situation to the point: "No person likes to live alone!"

The Oedipus Project

The Oedipus Project is an innovative new digital initiative by Theater of War Productions that will present acclaimed actors performing scenes from Sophocles’ Oedipus the King as a catalyst for powerful, healing online conversations about the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic upon diverse communities throughout the world. Sophocles’ ancient play, written and performed in 429 BC during the time of a plague that killed one-third of the Athenian population, is a timeless story of arrogant leadership, ignored prophecy, and a pestilence that ravages the city of Thebes. At the time the play was first performed, the audience would have been reeling in the wake of a pestilence and its economic, political, and social aftermath. Seen through this lens Oedipus the King appears to have been a powerful public health tool for helping Athenians communalize the trauma of the plague, through a story that is as relevant now as it was in its own time.

Who Is Saving Whom?

„Who is saving whom?“ is not just another bank rescue and Euro rescue film. It reveals much more what it is that all the “rescues” hide, right up to the present day tragedy of Greece. The radical alteration of society in Europe. The transformation of private debt into public debt which has been papered over and presented as a “rescue” has not only driven democracy to absurdity. It has shaken societies which consider themselves socialist societies with rule of law to their foundations. No one formulates this better in the film than Mario Draghi, who as a one time vice president of Goldman Sachs and present president of he ECB steers the economies in the Euro area: “The European social model is history”. “Saving the Euro will cost a lot of money. That means we will have to take leave of the European social model”. For seven years now the rescue is taking place with the help of hundreds of Billions of public money.
