Karuara, People of the River. by Araoz Cartagena, Miguel,film director.; Boyd, Stephanie,film director.; New Day Films (Firm),dst; Kanopy (Firm),dst;

Originally produced by New Day Films in 2024.Mariluz Canaquiri says her river is more than just a body of water, it’s a living being. Beneath the surface lies a world of spirits led by the Karuara, which means “people of the river” in her Indigenous language. The film’s stunning hand painted animations take viewers into this magical universe where spirits lounge in hammocks made of boa constrictors and play sardine poker. Behind their playfulness, the Karuara are metaphysical ecologists who maintain the delicate balance of life in the Amazon’s rivers. But Mariluz says the old ways are being forgotten and her people face cultural genocide. While foreign companies earn millions from the Amazon’s resources, Indigenous communities lack basic health care, high schools and clean water. Mariluz leads a federation of Kukama women who win a groundbreaking lawsuit demanding the Peruvian government recognize their river as a legal person, with rights. In a world that puts a price tag on nature, this film reminds us of our sacred connection to water. This artistically beautiful film has won 12 awards, including the LASA award of merit in film, the UNESCO Dolomites award at the Bolzano film festival and the WACC-SIGNIS Human Rights award. Mariluz Canaquiri, who is also one of the film’s producers, was awarded the prestigious Goldman Environmental Prize for Latin America in 2025.Mode of access: World Wide Web.

Farewell, Beautiful Forest… or How a Film Was Censored. by Lippmann, Günter,film director.; DEFA Film Library (Firm),dst; Kanopy (Firm),dst;

Originally produced by DEFA Film Library in 1990.An ecological catastrophe in the Ore Mountains on the Czech German border: Foresters and residents desperately try to save this landscape from forest devastation. But they face a doctrinaire state power that turns a blind eye and denies the facts.After the filmmaker’s initial proposal in 1983, permission to film was finally granted in 1987 and the crew shot in the Czech border region of Most and Teplice in 1988. But “forest dieback” was a forbidden word in East Germany. Consequently, none of the film’s eight versions passed censorship and the project was banned. Finally, in 1989/90, after the political changes in East Germany, the original version of the film was reconstructed, and the story about its censorship was included into the film.Mode of access: World Wide Web.

Jörg Simonides, Kirsten Block, Sylvia RiegerOriginally produced by DEFA Film Library in 1987.Journalist and single mother Marga doesn't hold the music profession in high regard and is not particularly excited when her boss sends her to interview aspiring rock singer Anne. Anne is a trained machinist and lives at East Berlin’s Prenzlauer Berg, famous for its artistic alternative communities. Marga is surprised when Anne gives unconventional and provoking answers to routine interview questions. When Robert, an unpublished poet who always has a witty line up his sleeve, and who is also Anne's ex-boyfriend, shows up, Marga becomes way more interested in her interview assignment. A love triangle comedy set in the bohemian East Berlin Prenzlauer Berg atmosphere combined with 1980s punk rock music á la Nina Hagen that comments on East German taboo topics, including environmental issues. The film offers references not only to Konrad Wolf’s Solo Sunny but also to international film history, including Billy Wilder, Woody Allen and Ernst Lubitsch.Scripted by Stefan Kolditz (Burning Life, Dresden), this comedy is inspired by the real story behind the making of Konrad Wolf’s classic Solo Sunny (1978-79). Wolf’s scriptwriter, Wolfgang Kohlhaase, had read an unpublished interview by journalist Jutta Voigt with Sanije Torka, a mechanic apprentice who later studied performance arts and was cast in DEFA films in the 1970s and 1980s.Mode of access: World Wide Web.
