Films made by ‘non-German’ directors take centre stage at this four week festival of independent film. Held in conjunction with a major arts festival, involving artists and performers of ‘foreign’ parentage, HeimatFilm is an opportunity too see some of the brightest and most innovative films to come out of Germany over the last four years. It includes such gems as ‘Plus Minus Null’, a comedy set in contemporary Berlin by Irish director Eoin Moore. Also featured is ‘AprilKinder’, by director Yüksel Yavuz, which tells the story of a young Kurdish immigrant torn between two worlds.
