GOETHEKINO: "Beyond Silence"
Advertisement
The Goethe-Institut Cyprus invites you to the second edition of GoetheKino. This series of events not only deals with the relationships and dynamics between family members, but also with topics such as belonging, sacrifice and memory. After each of the three thought-provoking films of emotional depth, there will be space for discussion, exchange and shared reflection.
The series "GoetheKino: Questions of Family" concludes with the screening of the award-winning film "Beyond Silence", which will be followed by a discussion with Olga Kourelou, film academic, and Panayiota Themistocleous, Cypriot sign language interpreter and CODA (child of deaf adults).
Feature film, Teen movie // 109 minutes // 1996 // Directed by: Caroline Link
Lara's parents are deaf-mute. This changes the relationship of power and obligation within the family, for the girl has to act as an intermediary with the outside world from a very early age. She must also "translate", be it a telephone call, the meeting between her parents and her teacher, or when negotiating a loan with the bank. After finishing school, Lara plans to leave the small Bavarian town to study music in Berlin. This creates major problems with her father, problems which are intensified by her mother's death.
