Single Shot Indonesia

Schon seit mehr als zehn Jahren kehrt der Regisseur Leonard Retel Helmrich wieder und wieder in die Heimat seiner Urgroßeltern zurück, um die Veränderungen in Indonesien in den ungestümen Jahren der wirtschaftlichen und kulturellen Globalisierung zu beobachten und auf Film zu bannen. Das Portal DAFilms zeigt nun alle drei Filme seiner bekannten Dokumentarfilmtrilogie (inklusive seines bisher letzten Werks – Position among the Stars). Vor dem Hintergrund der Spannungen in der indonesischen Gesellschaft dokumentiert Helmrichs Kamera das Leben der Familie Sjamsuddin, die in einem Armenviertel von Jakarta ihre alltägliche Geschichte aus Arbeit und Sorgen, gegenseitiger Liebe und Feindschaft erlebt. In der Woche ab dem 21.5. können Sie noch dazu die ersten zwei Filme der Trilogie – The Eye of the Day und Shape of the Moon – kostenlos ansehen.

Auch wenn die Filme „Shutka Book of Records“, „The Mosquito Problem“ und „Bahrtalo“ die Geschichten von Menschen erzählen, die fast am Hungertuch nagen, sind keine bedrückenden sozialen Dramen zu erwarten: Schließlich kann man nur ohne Geld ein lustiges Leben führen!
