Oecher Competition III: (RE)THINKING HOME (3 Short Films)<\/strong><\/p>

The third block of the Aachen Competition, portraits not home, but our relationshsip with it. These are films that show us, that home is more than a place, but a network of things, the always same alarm clock in the morning, homesickness when crossing borders, the sorrow one even carries with them into a bar. What combines these three shortfilms is a sensibility, a radical search, and openess to rethink what home can be for us.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

___________________________________________<\/p>

Der dritte Block des Aachener Wettbewerbs: Portr\u00e4ts nicht von \u201eZuhause\u201c, sondern von unserer Beziehung dazu. Es sind Filme, die uns zeigen, dass \u201eZuhause\u201c mehr ist als ein Ort, sondern ein Geflecht aus Dingen \u2013 der immer gleiche Wecker am Morgen, das Heimweh beim \u00dcberqueren von Grenzen, die Traurigkeit, die man sogar mit in eine Bar nimmt. Was diese drei Kurzfilme verbindet, ist eine Sensibilit\u00e4t, eine radikale Suche und die Offenheit, neu dar\u00fcber nachzudenken, was \u201eZuhause\u201c f\u00fcr uns sein kann.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
