SUMMARY:Songs of Hope and Despair:  Filmvorführung + Diskussion mit Künst
 ler:innen in English
DESCRIPTION:Invitation\n\nThis film a fairy tale for the generation\, which
  has much of despaire and which only way to imagine the future is the hope
 \, generation with no certain date of birth\, but with certain circumstanc
 es of live. What can the trickster-magician\,  Dark Clouds of Apocalypses
 \, Fish\, Dead drummer\, Muse-Leaving-Germany\, Dice Roll and other minor 
 rebel agencies (the protagonist of this movie) tell us about oursalves liv
 ing in  landscapes marked by ecological ruin\, failed revolutions\, and t
 he unease of the present?\n\nWhat we want to achieve with this film shaw i
 s to open the discussion between the spectators and the authors of the fil
 m\, who come to Mainz in the hope to find a place where unformal diolog be
 tween people\, who this film was made for and who has made the film would 
 be possible. Everybody is welcome to come and to participate.\n\nAuthors p
 resent: Tsaplya Olga Egorova\, Dmitry Vilensky\n\n\n\nAbout the film\nSong
 s of Hope and Despair (2026) a new film by Chto Delat International direct
 ed by Tsaplya Olga Egorova is an improvised fairy tale and highly experime
 ntal road movie in which a group of strangely costumed\, non-professional 
 performers—Russian exiles and their friends—set out on an absurd quest
  for a miracle. Inspired by two key historical works\, Werner Tübke’s P
 anorama of the Peasants’ War and Rainer Werner Fassbinder’s The Niklas
 hausen Journey\, the film unfolds in the former mining town of Hettstedt a
 s an unabashedly lo-fi magical game and tragicomic musical.\nOscillating b
 etween enchantment and exposure\, mourning and play\, the film asks a dece
 ptively simple question: what does a miracle even look like in politically
  dire times like these? Drawing past and present into a single ritual proc
 ession\, Songs of Hope and Despair reflects on manipulation and resistance
 \, despair and stubborn hope\, insisting—like all true fairy tales—on 
 the fragile persistence of solidarity even when history seems trapped in c
 ycles of defeat.\n&nbsp\;\n\n18:00 -- Küfa\n\n19:00-- Beginning of the sh
