AND MILES TO GO BEFORE I SLEEP (90 Min.) | 17:30 | Capitol 2
Much like the stories of the 700,000 other migrant workers in Taiwan, Vietnamese NGUYEN Quoc Phi became an outlier in the ugly and complex migrant worker system. With his expertise in construction work, he was one of the leaders of a group of migrant labourers working in Hsinchu. He dreamed of saving enough money to start his own business back in his home country.
In presence of Tsai Tsung-Lung (director).
Ehrenpreis Christian Petzold

Two young friends from Berlin find themselves spending a hot summer in the holiday home of one of their families, isolated in a forest on the Baltic Sea coast. Shortly after their arrival, the two young men discover that the house is already inhabited by two unexpected guests. Between the four casual inhabitants precarious and changing relationships are established.

BFFB Special
GREEN LINE (150 Min.) | 20:00 | Capitol 2
GREEN LINE uses miniature models of Beirut and figurines to reconstruct Fida’s turbulent upbringing during the Lebanese Civil War, which took place between 1975 and 1990. With the help of these models, Fida confronts the ex-militiamen who operated in West Beirut—the same militiamen who claimed to protect her but who in reality frightened her so much.
Live Score
CARMEN (80 Min.) | 21:30 | Capitol 1
Adapted from George Bizet's popular opera, Lubitsch's silent film tells the tragic story of Don José, a Spanish cavalryman. He falls under the spell of a member of the Sinti and Roma, Carmen, who treats him with both love and contempt.
As part of the BFFB Live Soundtrack, Carmen (1918) by Ernst Lubitsch will be set to music live
in CAPITOL 1 of FILMCLUB. Mirko Pedrotti, Damian Dalla Torre and Steffi Narr will accompany the film with saxophone, electric guitar, vibra- phone and electronics over a total length of 80 minutes. This event takes place in cooperation with the Südtirol Jazzfestival Alto Adige.
