Series/Themes: zCinema without Borders, zCreative Arts, zNew Additions

Genre: International, Shorts

Film Year: 2017

Locations: Austria/Germany

Film Length: 60 min.

Director: Esther Dischereit

A series of films from young artists and media specialists at various institutions across Austria and Germany, Mood & Memory curates deeply moving stories, including those of a comfortably situated girl from Aleppo and a son of poor Somali farmers. Sometimes the authors do not hear everything, or the camera is limited, and so only fragments remain. In a youth hostel, the words of Rosa Luxemburg resonate. In a refugee center, a woman talks about her salad. Perhaps nothing comes together, different voices overlap and each person hears their own unique truth. Discussion with director Esther Dischereit, moderated by Asher Biemann (UVA)

Supported by the Center for German Studies
