It\u2019s not just that he daydreams himself into colourful Bollywood films as a protagonist. He even earns money in the film biz, by scalping cheap theatre tickets at marked-up prices.

The scene is Scotland in the summer of 1994 and the political mood is heated: public assemblies have been banned in an attempt to prevent clashes between rebels and police. Best friends Spanner and Johnno have grown up next door to one another in a working-class part of town. On their way to an illegal rave, the two boys \u2013 destined to part ways soon as life sends them off on separate paths \u2013 become immersed in an anarchical underworld. Against this backdrop of 1990s rave culture, Brian Welsh has lovingly captured a bitter-sweet coming-of-age story in impressive black and white images.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From the ecstatic beats of the rave movement, the program pivots to the energetic protests of Brazil\u2019s young population in Eliza Capai\u2019s <strong>YOUR TURN (ESPERO TUA (RE)VOLTA)<\/strong>. This award-winning documentary, which focuses on the experiences, passions and fears of a young generation protesting for the right to an education, develops a compelling sense of urgency as it proceeds. With <strong>YOUR TURN<\/strong>, Eliza Capai has managed to produce a contemporary study of the protest movements and their development up to the election of extreme right-wing politician Jair Bolsonaro to the Brazilian presidency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In her documentary <strong>JAWLINE<\/strong> (USA, 2019), Liza Mandelup also provides a revealing look at a contemporary phenomenon. Mandelup follows 16-year-old Austyn Tester on his daily quest to increase his likes and followers in the hopes of leaving the constricting surroundings of his depressing hometown somewhere in Tennessee behind. The lure of potential success comes in the form of manager Michael Weist, whose Instagram boys receive millions of clicks, in spite of their dubious reputation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In her fiction feature debut <strong>FLESH OUT <\/strong>(Italy, 2019),<strong> <\/strong>Michela Occhipinti dives into a completely different world. According to a Mauritanian tradition, brides-to-be are supposed to put on weight, for only women with curvaceous figures correspond to the West African nation\u2019s conception of ideal beauty.<strong> <\/strong>Verida\u2019s wedding is only three months away, and she is supposed to put on 20 kilos in the interim, by torturing herself with an extreme reverse-diet regime (featuring six meals a day and couscous with milk at night) that takes its toll both physically and mentally. When another man shows interest in her, Verida finally falls headlong into an internal crisis, caught between tradition and modernity. Michela Occhipinti\u2019s first feature-length outing is inspired by a true story. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Short Films at exground youth days<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In the International Youth Film Competition, eight international short films, each of which will be screened prior to a feature-length film presentation, take a look at the experiential and emotional worlds of young protagonists. For the second time, the youth jury will be awarding a prize for best short film, worth 500 euros, sponsored by Wiesbadener Kinofestival e.V.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Among other highlights, the programme features the Israeli production <strong>GIRL ON A BIKE<\/strong> by Thekra Mekalde, in which a Muslim girl lives out her passion for cycling, even though it\u2019s considered \u201cinappropriate\u201d for women. The group of adolescents portrayed in Martin A. Walther\u2019s documentary <strong>TRAIN ROBBERS (TOGR\u01feVERE) <\/strong>(Norway) also flaunt social conventions and the pressure to conform with their frequent train robbery capers back in the 1990s. Finally, in <strong>SHADOW CUT<\/strong> by Lucy Suess (New Zealand, 2018), a young man tries to find a way to escape a stifling existence in rural New Zealand, while hesitating to confide his intentions to his best friend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the <strong>Wiesbaden Youth Film Competition<\/strong>, regional filmmaking talents have the opportunity to present their work for the first time on the big screen.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-background\" href=\"https:\/\/gallery.mailchimp.com\/fda673c30cc5a98a608e27899\/files\/bb650535-f830-4b98-b477-ff57b17317cc\/ex32_youth_flyer_WEB.pdf\" style=\"background-color:#8700a3\"> Program for exground youth days <\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The full program for exground 23 will be available online at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.exground.com\">www.exground.com<\/a> from October, 28th, 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> exground filmfest would like to thank all of its\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/exground.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/ex32_partners_Sponsors_en.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"supporters and sponsors (\u00f6ffnet in neuem Tab)\">supporters and sponsors<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>END OF PRESS RELEASE<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Pre<\/strong>ss Contact<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>( ( ( NOISE Film PR ) ) )<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dagny Kleber<br>+49&nbsp;(0) 171 \u2013 402 48 03<br><a href=\"https:\/\/exground.com\/pressemitteilung-exground-filmfest-32-eroeffnet-mit-der-deutschlandpremiere-von-the-fathers-shadow-aus-brasilien\/exground@noisefilmpr.com\">exground@noisefilmpr.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Running from 16 to 21 November, the exground youth days will present an exciting program consisting of 16 short and feature-length films from 24 countries (including international co-productions).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":5185,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[19,1],"tags":[],"translation":{"provider":"WPGlobus","version":"2.5.11","language":"en","enabled_languages":["de","en"],"languages":{"de":{"title":true,"content":true,"excerpt":true},"en":{"title":true,"content":true,"excerpt":true}}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/exground.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5184"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/exground.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/exground.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/exground.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/exground.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5184"}],"version-history":[{"count":14,"href":"https:\/\/exground.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5184\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5216,"href":"https:\/\/exground.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5184\/revisions\/5216"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/exground.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5185"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/exground.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5184"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/exground.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5184"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/exground.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5184"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
