FREE ON YOUTUBE Favela Rising

FREE ON YOUTUBE  Have I told you about our old cinema? In Corinthstr., not far from Lidl there? It should be a zero Euro cinema. With bunk beds and (!!!) couches on rocking chains. It works like this: 1. You steal the wood at the Lidl construction site, have couches and refrigerators from eBay given to you. 2 The demonstration technique is available in insolvent cinemas. For example these old 35 MM machines. They are so loud that nobody understands the film. That's why you need an extra room. That's why my old partner Skulli rented a chamber in the building next door. He had the idea of simply drilling a hole between the outer walls of both old buildings. That's work, because we're talking about more than a meter here! Almost hopeless. But at some point the drill came through. And later an architect said; we would have been lucky that not both buildings sank. Never mind. In such a cinema you can show films like Favela Rising. The show sold out three times, which means that about 90 people wanted to see Favela Rising! Many Brazilians, because it is a true story with a happy ending. In Portuguese favela simply means slum. The area we know from "City Of God" or "Tropa De Elite". In Favela Rising you can see a group of young Brazilians who during the 90s were looking for their own way out of the misery of the favelas. They exchanged their weapons for instruments. They played AfroReggae to support those oppressed in the favelas. And they make it! I will ask Werner from NOMADENKINO if we don't want to play Favela Rising again. For example in About Blank. P.S. The original cinema from Corinthstr. is still there. In the Gärtnerstr. 19, 10245 Berlin. It's called B-Ware. A shop that has nothing to do with chic young mothers, bicycle helmets or chocolate shops (Bio bar for only 4.50).
