THE 9th BERLIN INTERNATIONAL DIRECTORS LOUNGE [DL9]

09.02.13 / Saturday / Day 3

OF A DIFFERENT STRIPE: URBAN ZEBRA UNDER THE SUN

DLer (and fedora aficionado) Klaus W. Eisenlohr presents the first of his Urban Development curated programs at [DL9] tonight, and his “Habitats, Homelands and Bridges” will have you walking the terrain of four continents. Be there at 18:00 (6.00 pm) to take the global jaunt. Then the exotically-named Thomas Zandegiacomo Del Bel brings us special picks from the Zebra Poetry Film Festival, not the stroll into soft lyrical musings you might mistake it to be. See Phnom Penh’s Kosal Khiev after a 14-year stretch in a US prison in Masahiro Sugano’s film “Why I Write” (part of the program) and you’ll know what we mean. Starts 20:00 (8:00 pm). At 22:00 (10:00 pm), the sweet-voiced John Sampson (Swimming), in from England, premieres his project “Tricolour Sun,” in which bass grabs you and aura-filled techno/dance grooves do the rest. More! A bevy of short films, DL Selection I, starts at 23:00 (11:00 pm), including one German, two European and even a World Premiere (“The Birthday Boy” by Italy’s Erika Tasini, tonight in attendance) in the lot. Ireland’sRobin Lochman will also be there with “Kult Leader.” Still more! DJs Jouka & Stupid Muzak spin in the Night Lounge till dawn. OK. (More than) enough for one day. (!)
