IN PRODUCTION: PARALLEL WORLDS. WHAT IS REALITY? Friday, 13 January 2023, ZDF aspekte

A “truth”, a “reality” has not existed for a long time. If there ever was one. Putin, vaccination deniers, Mark Zuckerberg and his Metaverse – since digitalisation, it’s easier than ever to build new worlds, find approval and confirmation for one’s own worldview and simply block out the rest. But what are the consequences for our lives when reality feels increasingly surreal? When one can no longer agree on and rely on truths, values and norms? What does this mean for togetherness in the global community? And can culture help us to successfully counter this development? Written and directed by Frauke Schlieckau. A Bottega Berlin production for ZDF aspekte. 43 min.

 

 

 

ON SCREEN: FORENSIC ARCHITECTURE. 13.06.2022, 7 p.m. 3sat Kulturzeit

“Would you take up arms for your country if the worst came to the worst?” For Maksym Rokmaniko, architect and founder of the Ukrainian Center for Spacial Technologies, this is no longer a theoretical question. He may have left his country, but he still fights for its liberation – with the tools and methods of architecture and forensics. Together with Eyal Weizman and the renowned research agency Forensic Architecture, he investigated the Russian attack on the TV tower in Kiev. Their goal: to counter Putin’s narrative with the truth. A production by Bottega Berlin Productions for ZDF aspekte/3Sat Kulturzeit.

ON SCREEN: MIRNA FUNK IN PORTRAIT. ZDF aspekte, 28.05.201, 11.00 p.m.

The writer Mirna Funk writes zeitgeist novels with depth. She also speaks out on the campaign platform “Pink Stinks” about the care debate and discusses what it means to be Jewish in the 21st century on the hipster shabbat talk show “Freitagnacht Jews.” As a self-confident, optimistic woman, Funk thus stands for a new generation of German-Jewish literature that can come up with small talk on Instagram as well as literary texts and “Fallhöhe.” Written and directed by Frauke Schlieckau. A Bottega Berlin production for ZDF aspekte.
