The film »City of Prophets« (WT) sheds light on the time after the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. They are the starting point of our story. The economic and social upheavals in Brazil hit Rio particularly hard due to the expenses for the mega event. In the film, symbolic images are combined with analyzes of social development and offer insights into the connections between the events surrounding the 2016 games and Bolsonaro's populist politics in Brazil today.

ALMA MATER

There are many films about the often ambivalent relationship between mother and daughter. Not very many of them are comedies, and even fewer are about everyday life. »Alma Mater« tells exactly that: how a mother (early 40) and a daughter (19) learn to find their way in their new everyday life without or in this case even against the other. Coming of Age for both generations at the same time.
Which leads to Alma and her mother meeting one day exactly where neither of them should be, in a lecture hall at the University of Frankfurt, their new »alma mater«, where studying philosophy is initially a substitute for other plans that have failed, but whose failure they want to hide from each other.
