Kinokinokino

What was cinema in the past? What is cinema today? Hamburg filmmaker Dennis Albrecht asked himself these questions as he sifted through material he had been collecting since a project idea in 2008. Since then, he has repeatedly taken cameras into cinemas that no longer exist. He shot commercials, short films or events at the Grindel-Kino, Streit's, Rialto and Savoy and many other Hamburg movie theaters. In these personal perspectives, we see many cultural places that have disappeared.

Eine mörderische Entscheidung

In April 2009, Colonel Klein takes up his post as commander in Kunduz. The first soldiers move into the camp quarters. Among them are five young men who have so far been denied any field experience. So far, they have only known the mission in Afghanistan as an exercise. Colonel Klein is therefore faced with a difficult task, which turns the management of the camp into a crucial test. At that very moment, the Taliban's spring offensive breaks out against the Germans. The first casualties and deaths cannot be avoided and two tanker trucks are hijacked by the attackers. The war has begun. Months later, the stolen trucks are recovered. Both vehicles are stuck on a sandbank in the river. Klein has to decide whether the discovery poses a danger to his camp.
