The German film festival KINO returns with a selection of German cinema from 2018/ 2019 featuring “exciting stories, big emotions and powerful images.” Organised by the Goethe Institut KINO/19 runs from the 11-20 October with screenings at HKAC Louis Koo Cinema, HK Film Archive and Elements Premiere.
Opening KINO/19 is Balloon, the story of a dramatic escape from East Germany ten years before the Berlin Wall fell in 1989. A Regular Woman is based on the true story of the “honor killing” of the young Turkish woman in Berlin. The journey of the two unequal friends in Roads shows that sometimes you have to travel very far to find out the truth. In Chris the Swiss, a dangerous search for clues leads back to the Balkan war of the 90s, whose violence is made palpable with threatening black-and-white animations, an award-winning documentary thriller from Switzerland.
KINO/19 films:
Balloon, A Regular Woman, 25 KM/H, Gundermann, The Collini Case, Chris the Swiss, The Most Beautiful Couple, The Mover, Roads, Sweethearts.
