Films are never created in a vacuum. Especially in restrictive contexts, it becomes clear how strongly power structures shape artistic work—but also which possibilities filmmakers find to respond. Eva Neymann (WHEN LIGHTNING FLASHES OVER THE SEA), Olga Kosanović (NOCH LANGE KEINE LIPIZZANER), and Lisa Polster (BÜRGLKOPF) discuss with Andrea Ernst cinematic forms of resistance and subversion, the role of documentary approaches, and how cinema can open up an in-between space in which everyone can find themselves.
