TRACING TANGO ECHO TANGO
Germany 2022 – Director: Ksenia Ciuvaseva – Original language: Russian – Subtitles: English, German – Length: 30 min.
The semi-autobiographical film essay of a daughter following the trail of her father, an ex-Soviet pilot, in Sudan. The possibility of doing his old job once again takes him far from home, since “work is work” even when it means being a long distance away from everything you have been familiar with up to that point. A film about flights of fancy and a long fall. Andrea Erja
We present the world premiere of the film.

An episodic film that portrays four young people on the cusp of adulthood. Emy, Wiebke, Tizian and Emma ask themselves, what happens in your life after you have finished school? And come to completely different conclusions. A phase of life that we are all familiar with – carefully observed and recounted with refreshing humour. Andrea Erja
