Shortfilm program: Cherry Bone
She was 15 when, in 1996, she came to Germany together with her parents as a Jewish “contingent refugee” ("Kontingentflüchtling"). It took a long time before she realised that you say cherry stone ("Kirschkern") rather than cherry bone ("Kirschknochen"). In this autobiographical animated film, the filmmaker reflects on languages, art, family and self-realisation. *** 15.6. 19.00 Thalia Babelsberg, followed by a discussion with Evgenia Gostrer, director 17.6. 20.30 Delphi Lux, followed by a discussion with Evgenia Gostrer, director
