Short film: Bhagana - Lena weint nicht (Juni2008)

Finally a bit news again from Mathis!!
Found by Lisagirls, Merci! :-)

New Shortfilm, 4 shooting days, Berlin
By Claudia Udenta (who also worked for RIS)

"At the zenith of her fortune/happiness Lena believes herself at the end of all her yearnings and tries to escape her streamlined existence, when un unexpected message overcomes her life."

The last of the little set-photos has still the original date:
2008-06-02 (Just two days after the AbsoIut-Züri-Marathon in Zürich-Tonimolkerei, and one after the official shooting end for "RobberGirls"!)

Nouveau court-métrage, 4 jours de tournage, Berlin
De Claudia Udenta (qui a aussi travaillé chez RIS)

"Au zenith de son bonheur Lena se croit à la fin de toutes ses nostalgies et essaie de s'enfuir de son existence adapté, quand un message inattendu surmonte sa vie."

La dernière des photos de tournage a encore la date original:
2008-06-02 (Juste 2 jours apres le AbsoIut-Züri-Marathon dans Zürich-Tonimolkerei, et un après la fin de tournage officielle de "FillesBrigandes"!)

Neuer Kurzfilm, 4 Drehtage, Berlin
Von Claudia Udenta (die auch bei RIS dabei war)

"Am Zenit ihres Glücks glaubt Lena sich am Ende aller Sehnsüchte und versucht ihrem angepassten Dasein zu entfliehen, als eine unerwartete Nachricht ihr Leben bezwingt."

Das letzte der kleinen Set-Fotos hat noch das Originaldatum:
2008-06-02 (Gerade mal 2 Tage nach dem AbsoIut-Züri-Marathon in Zürich-Tonimolkerei, und einen nach dem offiziellen Dreh-Ende von "Räuberlnnen"!)

Attention, german Mathis-Forum

The end of an era?

"The" big german Mathis-Forum is closing!

Next Monday already :-((

I was rather shocked to hear this a few days ago, although it didn't come completely unexpected. Many of the members felt at home there, and the admin Nina did a great job and worked very hard to create and update an orderly collection of everything, but it's long since known that RealLife hit and left her absolutely no free time anymore. She tried very very long to still keep it up, but no chance it seems. And I'm afraid, her #1 Mathis-FanSite could vanish too, but no idea :-( This concerns the forum at teardrops and possibly mathis-kuenzler/david-seidel.net.tc

Of course the members and mods want to continue, there is already a temporary new forum, and in a couple weeks all will move again into another, final NEW FORUM. No prob for present and future Mathis-stuff, but alas no one seems to know at this point how much from the old topics can possibly be transferred, and Nina is 'almost' as hard to reach as MK :-P So meanwhile Michi and a few others are already working like crazy to rescue as much as possible.

But the disaster is that (as far as I know), this is the last big forum from our great "Verliebt in Berlin" era! The two other major ones, Sat1 and vibfan, are already deleted long since, and especially vibfan and the Sat1-videos were a huge loss, as well as some great fan sites. But now what will remain? If all the major contemporary sources with all the great discussions and lots of exciting fan stuff have vanished from the web, it will almost be as if all that ViB hype never happened This was the last of the main forums that contained our ViB- and Mathis-history of the time, in all details, was also a great archive for researching stuff, alas the last one left. Where shall one look now to figure out what happened when and how exactly, and what the fans thought about it at the time?
The Mathis-media stuff will surely make the move, and there are a few other, smaller ViB-forums, or specialized ones (like fanfic), or rather young ones (Alex-forum started only a few weeks before the end of ViB1), but much much past information may survive now only on a few private fan computers :-(

Sorry, I'm having the blues at the moment, although there's still a bit hope to transfer the complete old forum... And of course this is all just my personal opinion, and must admit I'm rather clueless about the Rokko-Cortez-fandom, but sorry, don't feel like searching around there ;-)

FRANCAIS: (par Sanna)

"La première fois"
Marc: Des rêves se réalisent. Je veux dire, après tout il a fonctionné, nous sommes... Nous étions en route ensemble, là tout en haut, et alors nous sommes rentrés à la maison, et, bien, je... je... crois je suis simplement... tombé amoureux...
Vous avez-encore un thé ou quoi après?
Mathis: Non, non je dois étudier.
Marc: Okay. C'est quoi encore, ce que tu as dit tu étudies?
Mathis: Biologie.
Marc: Ah oui. C'est sûrement fascinant, non? Avec cette théorie darwinienne de l'évolution, je veux dire, j'en avais réfléchi un moment: Une centaine d'années auparavant, ce truc a vraiment fait bien plus de sense encore, car là les gens ont donc eu moins à manger...
Mathis: Heu... Comprends-moi bien. Pour moi c'était plutôt qc de spontané. Et je ne suis justement pas autant un homme qu'on peut avoir pour des histoires à plus longs termes. Dans le hypermarché tu as donc prouvé que le spontané c'est ton truc aussi, non.

ENGLISH: (by Sanna)

"The first time"
Marc: Dreams come true. I mean, it worked after all, we've.... We've been en route together, all high up there, and then we went home, and well, I... I... think I've just fallen.... in love...
Do you (pl.) have a tea or something later on?
Mathis: No, no I've got to study.
Marc: Okay. What's that again that you study, you said?
Mathis: Biology.
Marc: Ah yeah. That sure is fascinating, isn't it? With that darwinistic evolutionary theory, I mean, I thought about it: Some 100 years ago that thing made even a lot more sense really, because there the people had less to eat...
Mathis: Hum... don't get me wrong. For me this was more a sort of a spontaneous thing. And I'm just not that much a man who can be had for longer-term stories/affairs. In the shopping center after all you've proven that you tick spontaneously too, didn't you.

CREDITS etc. see: www.swissfilms.ch (most other sites say 2002)

Ein junger Mann verliebt sich unsterblich in einen Unbekannten, setzt alles daran ihn kennenzulernen und erkennt dabei, dass seine romantischen Träume nicht ganz der knallharten Realität entsprechen.

Un jeune homme tombe éperdument amoureux d’un inconnu, se démène pour faire sa connaissance et se rend alors compte que ses rêves romantiques ne correspondent pas tout à fait à la dure réalité.

A young man falls utterly in love with someone he does not know. He does everything possible to meet him, only to realise that his romantic dreams do not exactly correspond with the ruthlessness of reality.
