Filmreihe something weird cinema - Rapid Eye Movies-Special #04
Vorführung am Mi 29.07.2020 um 19.00 Uhr
Wir zeigen in der "Rapid Eye Movies" Filmreihe den unfassbaren SQUATTERPUNK des philippinischen Regisseurs Khavn De La Cruz ... "One of underground digital cinema’s best-kept secrets: a prankster punk, an ass-kicking rebel priest." — Olaf Moeller, Film Comment
"SQUATTERPUNK is a daring and adventurous film shot in the kind of slum neighbourhood where police protection is rare. The film, energetic and funny in a place that is supposed to be depressing, does not exactly fit into the social awareness approach of a direct cinema documentary. The score of the film is loud if not deafening. And not in vogue. Director Khavn, the 'enfant terrible' of Filipino cinema, brings us back to the 'no future' eighties of authentic anarchic punk. ...
SQUATTERPUNK shows something of life in the slums in a quite special way. It shows how poor, forgotten and ignored children can have a good time. Playing and swimming in rotting garbage can apparently be fun. So it is not the cliché image of tears in a child's eyes that makes us aware of this disgraceful situation but the vitality and pleasure of the protagonists. In addition, maybe even stronger than pity, this pleasure enforces the inevitable message: no future." Gertjan Zuilhof, Rotterdam International Film Festival
