In the Wiesbaden Youth Film Competition, local directorial talents have the chance to present their work for the first time on the big screen.<\/p>\n<p>In the International Youth Film Competition, the protagonist of the German production <strong>LOMO \u2013 THE LANGUAGE OF MANY OTHERS<\/strong> dives headlong into a dark place: after his girlfriend dumps him, Karl gradually loses himself in the digital world, granting the followers of his blog more and more control over his life. Director Julia Langhof will be in Wiesbaden to present her film in person at a 10:30 am screening on November 22<sup>nd<\/sup> at Caligari FilmB\u00fchne.<\/p>\n<p>In the Czech-Slovak co-production<strong> FILTHY [\u0160P\u00cdNA]<\/strong>, 17-year-old Lena ends up in a psychiatric clinic after a suicide attempt. Alas, instead of trying to get to the root of the patients\u2019 problems, the staff there stuff them full of medication and mistreat with electroshocks. Director Tereza Nvotov\u00e1 brings together visual brilliance and an exceptional cast in her feature film debut.<\/p>\n<p>L\u00e9a Mysius\u2019 <strong>AVA<\/strong> comes to us from France with a buoyant, summery charm, even though the eponymous protagonist is threatened by the prospect of encroaching blindness \u2013 which leads her to attempt to experience all of the adventures of coming-of-age in fast motion. AVA walked away with not one but two prizes at Cannes International Film Festival: the SACD Award for Best Feature Film and the \u201cPalm Dog\u201d for Best Canine Performance in a film.<\/p>\n<p>The humorous story revolving around runaways Kit and Alice at the heart of the Canadian production <strong>WEIRDOS<\/strong> takes us back to the 1970s \u2013 set against the breath-taking backdrop of the Canadian East coast and underscored by a soundtrack sourced from the era in question. Director Bruce McDonald was previously represented at exground filmfest with his feature film debut ROADKILL (1989), as well as the follow-ups HIGHWAY 61 (1991) and THE TRACEY FRAGMENTS (2007).<\/p>\n<p>Contrasting attitudes between Occident and Orient collide in the international co-production <strong>A WEDDING [NOCES]<\/strong>. 18-year-old Zahira, a presumably normal Belgian teenager, is shocked when her parents announce their plans to set her up in an arranged marriage with a Pakistani, thus throwing not only Zahira into irreconcilable inner turmoil. Director Stephan Streker based his third feature film on a true story, creating a precise portrait of a Pakistani family in Europe in the process.<\/p>\n<h6><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1326\" src=\"http:\/\/exground.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/c95c2131-b3bb-4c32-9a22-f5ae5a4ec457-300x125.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"125\" srcset=\"https:\/\/exground.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/c95c2131-b3bb-4c32-9a22-f5ae5a4ec457-300x125.jpg 300w, https:\/\/exground.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/c95c2131-b3bb-4c32-9a22-f5ae5a4ec457-768x321.jpg 768w, https:\/\/exground.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/c95c2131-b3bb-4c32-9a22-f5ae5a4ec457.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1324\" src=\"http:\/\/exground.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/6db7d44b-3675-4074-b66f-4f2c19a734f9-300x125.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"125\" srcset=\"https:\/\/exground.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/6db7d44b-3675-4074-b66f-4f2c19a734f9-300x125.jpg 300w, https:\/\/exground.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/6db7d44b-3675-4074-b66f-4f2c19a734f9-768x321.jpg 768w, https:\/\/exground.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/6db7d44b-3675-4074-b66f-4f2c19a734f9.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><br \/>\nAVA (left); WEIRDOS (right)<\/h6>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><strong>Short Films at exground youth days<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong>In the International Youth Film Competition, seven short films, each screening before a feature film, dive into the lives and surroundings of adolescent protagonists.

In a film workshop to take place during exground filmfest, participants will create a stop motion film that will then be screened in the scope of exground youth days. On top of that, the Wiesbaden Youth Film Competition, taking place in the framework of exground youth days, features a music video that was previously shot by young refugees during this year\u2019s Easter break.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, the festival was once again able to convince young refugees to serve as members of the youth jury for the International Youth Film Competition. Together with young natives of Wiesbaden, they will view all of the entries to the competition and finally present the award for best feature film, endowed with prize money in the amount of 2,500 euros by the State Capital of Wiesbaden.<\/p>\n<p>Outside of the festival period itself, exground filmfest has been presenting the exground youth film of the month throughout the entire year, going all the way back to 2005.
