Rasheda – keine Zeit für einen Schwatz

Der Großteil der Bevölkerung im ländlichen Bangladesch besteht aus landlosen Familien mit Tageslohn, die kaum genug verdienen, um zu überleben. Ein Entwicklungsprojekt zielt auf sehr arme Familien ab, indem soziale Mikrokredite bereitgestellt werden, um die Grundlage für eine nachhaltige wirtschaftliche Unabhängigkeit dieser Haushalte zu schaffen.

Am Beispiel der ehemals landlosen Rashida Begum zeigt der Film die Geschichte einer Familie, die es geschafft hat, die Schwelle der Armut durch harte Arbeit zu überschreiten. Mit ungeheurer Anstrengung, mit großem Mut und Beharrlichkeit rebellierte Rashida gegen das Schicksal der Landlosen.

Der Film beginnt mit dem ersten großen Deal, den Rashida mit einem Regierungsbüro abschließen konnte. Sie kann sofort 5000 junge Bäume an dieses Büro verkaufen. Nun überwacht sie – mit ihrer jüngsten Tochter im Arm – das Laden der Setzlinge. Rashida schneidet die traditionelle Frauenrolle ab und baut mit ihrem Mann und ihren Kindern eine eigene Baumschule auf.

残存 无法回避的思考 第一集

360度沉浸式电影
Juerg Neuenschwander作品

《残存》以沉浸式的全景影片,展现了人与自
然的关系,为观众带来一种身临其境的视觉体
验。镜头中是日益破败,但依旧雄伟壮丽的风
景,同时舞者用身体表达着周围环境的衰落,
两者交相辉映。此地残存之景仍然美丽动人,
而这片土地却已干涸,一片荒凉。

我们位于海拔4300米群山环绕的青藏高原。这
个地区的雪山和冰川,储存了大量的淡水资
源,因此被视为地球的第三极点。黄河、长江
等主要河流都发源于此。然而,这个万物赖以
生存的地区却身处危机之中。气候变化致使冰
原融化,极端天气引发干旱,过度放牧破坏土
壤。随着冰川的减退,补给大江大河,以及养
活牲畜的水源越来越少。灌溉用水、工业用水
及饮用水也日益减少,河流入海也变得不易。

上述均为事实。《残存》不仅呈现了这些事
实,并且进一步探索了它们如何影响我们的感
受、思想和行为。《残存》通过不同领域的组
合,彰显出地球和人类相互依赖的共生关系。

该作品由Juerg Neuenschwander与上海市同济大学艺术与传媒学
院合作完成。

Simply different (Gleich und anders)

Kathia, Phillippe, Marcello, and Christian are all dealing with mental health problems. But despite facing marginalization and spending long periods in the hospital, they are on their way to taking back control of their lives – whether by starting their own business, finding a new job, enrolling in a further training scheme, or simply seeking happiness with a new love in the home they have bought together. Yet alongside all the optimism, there is pain in the knowledge that nothing will be as it was before the breakdown, that they will have to accept a loss of professional, financial, or social status. “They just downgraded my position, made my work more menial. It was like: Get him away from the counter and we’re done.” (Philipp Zürcher)

72 min, 5.1/stereo, DCP and DVD

Kuppel über Bern (Dome over Bern)

Renovation of the Parliament Building, 2006 – 2008

This film tells inside stories from the first extensive round of renovations at Switzerland’s Parliament Building, which is over 100 years old. The Bern architectural firm Aebi & Vincent was responsible for carrying out the project. Between 2006 and 2008, restorers working in the manner of archeologists uncovered historic vaulted ceilings and used their skills to return them to their former glory. Kuppel über Bern (Dome over Bern) is a kaleidoscopic depiction of the surprising, extraordinary feats of craftsmanship that that made the renovations possible – and provided the Swiss parliament with a home worthy of it stature.

Juerg Neuenschwander is travelling through Burkina Faso and Mali with the three Swiss protagonists of his film “Encounters on the Milky Way”.

sooner or later (früher oder später)

sooner or later captures ordinary acts, which in the face of death become a ritual, and gives space to the subtle, nearly invisible gestures and movements, which make the suffering and insecurities more bearable: Caressing a cat, a handshake or a fleeting glance; pictures and moments in death and grief, which we avoid in every day life, feeling insecure, fearful or ashamed. sooner or later tells about the universality of the only certitude in human life. Whether in the Emmental or in Tibet, whether at home or in a hospital, the final farewell to persons and to life is a difficult and painful experience everywhere. But there is no escape from one‘s own transience anywhere.

The film about evanescence, dying, death and grief, despair, anger, pain, helplessness, release and calm.

Shigatse – One Injection Asks for More

What by some of us, looking back, is felt as an irreplaceable loss, is still continuing here in full swing. The swirl of civilisation set in motion by the Chinese has transformed the traditional way of life into a confused tangle of different epochs and values. By chance I caught a thread that led me into the center of this tangle: it is the trail of medicine, the net of public medical care, which is interlaced by two totally different patterns. On the one hand the partially displaced Tibetan monastery medicine and on the other hand the newly introduced Chinese system of barefoot doctors and hospitals on the basis of Western medicine. The cultural revolution signified a catastrophic cut into the tradition of the old Tibetan medicine. It is only with liberalisation in the early 80s that traditional medicine has been recognised again by the state. How does this coexistence express itself daily?
