IMMORTALS - Film and talk

Fighting for a better future: this visually stunning film portrays two young people in Baghdad who long for freedom - and risk a lot to achieve it. The strong-willed young Milo pretends to be a man in order to be able to move more freely as a woman in Baghdad. Khalili, an ambitious filmmaker, discovers the power of his camera as a weapon in the fight against the regime. In the aftermath of the 2019 revolution, Milo and Khalili are the faces, the eyes and the voices of an Iraqi youth fighting relentlessly for a better future.

POWER AND SEDUCTION IN THE MOVIES - MACHT UND VERFÜHRUNG IM FILM

The three feature films, excellently played by actors such as Mads Mikkelsen, Noémie Merland, Kate Winslet and Ralph Fiennes, tell of people who seduce and allow themselves to be seduced and pay a price for it. The aim of the course is to reflect on the artistic design of selected films and their view of repressed contexts. How do filmmakers portray the use of power? Is seduction part of the exercise of power or a means of fighting against power? How do we deal with it?
