Fake Soldiers + Auslandstournee

OV with English subs
Followed by a talk with Ayse Polat

Fake Soldiers
Idrissou Mora-Kpai, Germany 1999, 24'

Basketball, hip-hop and breakdancing are in fashion in Germany at the end of the 1990s, as are African-Americans too by extension. Tamu and Obi hardly possess the same cool, however – they are only a hit with the women when they pretend to be US soldiers.

Auslandstournee
Ayşe Polat, Deutschland 1999, 91'

When an old friend of Zeki’s dies, the singer is given the task of helping his daughter Şenay find her mother. A road trip through the Turkish nightclub scene of Europe ensues, a tender account of life dreams, family and the homes we choose.
