German Film – Sun Alley

This debut film of theatre director Leander Hauffmann gives us a look at the life in East-Berlin during the
seventies. It is a sympathetic look at the GDR (German Democratic Republic) and its youth, who were
actually not that different from the youths in the West Germany.
The story is on 17-year old Michael who lives with his family in the Sun Alley, a street which mostly runs
through West Berlin, with just its tail ending in the East. His parents plan to escape to the West, the
family’s neighbor works for the secret police. Michael himself is not really interested in politics. He spends
most of his free time with his friends, who are all obsessed with music, girls and partying. And Micheal is
focused on his biggest goal: doing whatever it takes to win the heart of the prettiest girl at school.
Srceenwriter is Thomas Brussig.
It will be screened on 28 Nov at 6.30 pm. At South Indian Film Chamber Theatre, 605, Anna Salai,
Thousand Lights, Chennai

Epitaph – A Korean Film

An old doctor discovers that the Ahn Seng (Safe Life) Hospital, one of the most modern medical facilities in
the colonial period, is about to be demolished. This sets off reminiscences of his internship days at the
hospital in 1942, when he got caught up in a number of supernatural episodes. Epitaph, the debut film of
the Jeong Brothers (Jeong Beom-Sik and Jeong Sik), is a refined, intelligent and surprisingly effective
Gothic horror film. The Jeong Brothers were honoured for this film with the New Director award at the
Pusan Film Critics Awards.
Film studies centres can book for special student screenings of up to 20 students at a time.
On 27 Nov at 7.00 pm, at In-Ko Center, 51, 6th Main Road, Raja Anna Malai Puram, Chennai
