What is Interview Project Germany? Interview Project Germany is a road trip across Germany – across hundreds of kilometers from east to west and from north to south. We will talk to people found by chance – on the streets, at a gas station, in their front yard, at their work place.
Everybody has a story to tell. These stories are personal and unexpected, authentic and touching. These narratives are about life’s happiness, sudden turning-points, breaking down and getting up again, about desire, love, faith, fear, hopes and ideas. Interview Project Germany gives a voice to ordinary people with a diverse social and demographic background, allowing us unusual insights into their personal lives.

The Interview Project Germany is based on the American version, David Lynch.com presents Interview Project. It was successfully broadcast online and won two Webby awards this year: one in the category “Best Documentary Series” as well as “The People’s Voice” award in that same category.
Interview Project Germany will be directed and filmed by Jason S. and Austin Lynch, the creative team behind the American version. In co-production with Absurda (David Lynch’s film production company), red onion will carry on the project’s philosophy in Germany.
Was ist Interview Project Germany? Interview Project Germany ist ein Roadtrip quer durch Deutschland – hunderte von Kilometern von Ost nach West und von Nord nach Süd. Wir werden mit Menschen sprechen, die wir zufällig treffen, auf der Straße, an der Tankstelle, in ihren Vorgärten oder bei ihrer Arbeit.
Jeder wird uns eine andere Geschichte erzählen – seine eigene. Vom Lebensglück, von plötzlichen Wendungen und lebenslanger Suche, vom Scheitern und Wiederaufstehen, von Sehnsucht, Liebe, Glaube, Angst, Hoffnung und Ideen. Persönlich und unerwartet, authentisch und berührend. Interview Project Germany lässt Menschen aus allen Schichten und Altergruppen zu Wort kommen – ganz gewöhnliche Menschen erlauben uns ganz ungewöhnliche Einblicke.
Das Interview Project Germany basiert auf dem erfolgreichen amerikanischen Projekt, David Lynch.com presents Interview Project. Dieses wurde 2010 mit zwei Webby Awards ausgezeichnet: in der Kategorie „Beste Internet-Dokumentarreihe“ und mit dem Publikumspreis „People’s Voice“.
Wie auch in den USA übernehmen Austin Lynch und Jason S. die Regie und Kameraführung bei dem Interview Project Germany. red onion GmbH setzt in Co-Production mit Absurda (David Lynch’s Filmproduktionsfirma) die Philosophie des Interview Projects in Deutschland fort.www.interviewproject.de

Attending a sprawling congress for Neue Slowenische Kunst's imaginary state proved to be a worthwhile exercise in traumatic participation. While it is almost impossible to encapsulate what the Slovenian art movement Neue Slowenische Kunst (NSK) has undertaken, in all its manifestations, since forming in 1983, we could perhaps describe it best as an aesthetic apparatus for collective diagnosis. Its work - spanning music, theatre, philosophy, and statecraft - has served to diagnose multiple forms of repressed and sublimated desires lingering in the collective imagination: from the continuing but unacknowledged appeal of totalitarianism operating within the Yugoslav state, to the fascist dynamics found within the dynamics of pop culture....

Maria's Garage, located in a suburb of Berlin, is the first German auto dealership that's an entirely female operation . On my last trip to my old home country I went to Berlin and got to explore Maria's Garage, where women work with and for women - including the mechanical workshop. Hope you will enjoy the impressions I took back to Seattle with me. The main thing is that in Germany everything that has to do with cars, and all technical stuff, is still regarded very much as a guy thing. So these girls are dealing with a lot of prejudice and therefore are very careful about what they say, and don't say...Maria's Garage, located in a suburb of Berlin, is the first German auto... more

The Oldenburg Film Festival is a non-competitive film festival, and embraces an “open” format for what it screens.

As the annual Independent Film Week and Filmmaker Conference gets underway in New York, September 19-23, the Project Forum offers a meetings-driven forum connecting filmmakers who have new narrative and documentary projects with industry executives interested in identifying projects with which to become involved with at the financing or distribution stage. Another new section, IFP Independent Filmmaker Labs, will introduce and support “under-the-radar” new talents — first-time feature directors who have little previous industry exposure and live outside the film hubs of New York and LA — providing them with the access, mentorship and tools necessary to ensure that their unique stories reach audiences. Opening each day at the Filmmaker Conference, a “Conversations With...” series sponsored by Kodak, features one-on-one, in-depth discussions with luminary writers, directors, executives and new-media experts about their experiences in the industry and where filmmaking is heading next.

“Grief “is a deeply moving short film directed by the German filmmaker Daniel Lang, which is adapted from Anton Chekhof’s short story, “Misery.” On a rainy and gloomy night, a battered taxi drifts through the streets of Berlin. Iona, a Russian immigrant, is behind the wheel. His son had supported the family by driving the taxi until his sudden, unexpected death the previous week. Now Iona has taken his son’s place, trying hard to make his way as a blundering taxi driver. But what he really wants is to find someone, anyone to talk to about his son’s death.
This piece includes a number of high-resolution color photographs, as well as the thoughtfully engrossing short film.

On 30th June Jurgen Roth, leading investigative journalist and writer, will present his new book, “Gangster economics: how organized crime buys Germany“.
The event, organised by FLARE member Mafia? Nein Danke!, will be host in Berlin at Osteria No.1 (Kreuzbergstrasse 71).
The new work of Roth is a deep overview in German organised crime and its role in the economic and political sphere. «There are many indications - the author writes - that in recent years, ideologically-driven culture of illegality, which culminates in the organised crime and the gangster economy, more and more bankers, businessmen and politicians - some with enthusiasm - updated continuously, is because they benefit from it.The citizens, however, must pay the price».
An in-depth perspective that analyses the domestic dimension of organised crime as well as the transnational crime syndicates operating in the country, underlining the links between economics, politics and civil society.
