Raum 4070
Germany, 2006
by Torsten Striegnitz, Jana Kalms, OV German
Wir sind in einem Raum, in dem sich Menschen Erlebnisse erzählen, die man sich eigentlich nicht erzählt. Es geht um Wahn-Sinn und Ver-rücktheit, es geht um die Existenz, es geht um höllische Verzweiflung und den Garten Eden, es geht um Angst und um die Zerstörung von Beziehungen. In Raum 4070 findet das Potsdamer Psychoseseminar statt.
Es ist ein Tabu darüber zu reden. Aus Angst. Aus Scham. Aus Schuldgefühlen. Im “Raum 4070” wird darüber gesprochen. Psychoseerfahrenen, Angehörigen und Professionellen gehört gleichberechtigt das Wort, sacht moderiert von Prof. Dr. Peter Stolz.
People say I’m crazy
USA, 2004
by John Cadigan
Welcome to my mind. My name is John Cadigan, and I’m an artist with schizophrenia.
People Say I’m Crazy is my documentary about the world inside my head.
It’s a chaotic world filled with paranoia, creativity, fear and desire. A world in which I’m struggling every day, trying to know what is real and what is not.
Janine F.
Germany, 2004
by Teresa Renn
In November 2002, the newspapers were full of the story of a 24-year-old woman named Janine F. who leapt to her death from a fifth floor window of the Berlin art centre “Tacheles”.
In this film, Teresa Renn traces the victim’s personal history and finds out:
Janine F. lived her life full on. And on knife-edge. She never said much about the voices she heard.
And none of her friends had any idea just how serious things really were.
