Review by Redmond Bacon ★★★★½
In fact, these girls show more innovation and style than a sizable amount of the other directors at this year’s Berlinale. I’d happily sit through all 26 of these shorts in a row.

Presentation of the Berlinale Camera for Edgar Reitz
Filmstunde_23, my graduation from film school. It's easy when you know how to do it, right?
Over 50 years ago, Edgar Reitz taught filmmaking to a class consisting of young, 13-14 year old girls. His ultimate goal was to accomplish a film revolution, a revolution that would make the art of filmmaking a subject to be taught at every school. This change never happened, but now, after various passing decades, the class is back and ready for a reunion with Reitz.
So... the past and the present meet again, the analogue past becomes one with the digital present. Reitz sees cinema as a way…

Review by EliLewy ★★★★
Teen girls take a film class and an entire world opens up for them. 50 years later, they meet with their now 90 year old teacher, director Edgar Reitz, to watch the footage and talk about the importance of cinema as a whole and this class experiment in particular.
I knew I would love this! I wish at least one of the girls had gone on to make movies, some of those classroom shorts are fantastic!

Review by Marya E. Gates ★★★★
Watching this made me ache. I loved seeing this girls find their voices through filmmaking as teens, but I so wish they had had the support to continue growing as artists if they had so wanted.

Review by Erik Hädrich ★★★★★
Reingegangen, ohne Edgar Reitz so richtig zu kennen, nur mal seinen Namen im Unikontext gesehen zu haben irgendwo. Mit dem Gedanken, dass ich doch Klassentreffen-Filme so liebe, immer eine ordentliche Prise Nostalgie und Wertschätzung und der Blick auf damals, als alle heute weniger junge Leute noch junge Leute waren. Und dann noch mit Thema Film? Klingt perfekt, unterhaltsam, irgendwie süß.
Mit Ehrenpreisverleihung an Edgar Reitz und seiner Dankesrede dazu im Vorgang wurde das Ganze aber zu einer unbeschreiblich wertvollen Erfahrung, die noch lange bei mir bleiben wird. Reitz wurde wortgewandt vorgestellt, doch durch den Film wurde, Gegenwart wie Vergangenheit, deutlich, welch Talent er dafür hat, sein natürliches Charisma und sein Händchen für die Sprache einzusetzen. Man kann gar nicht anders,…

Review by DIEGO BATLLE ★★★★½
En 1968 Edgar Reitz, por entonces de 35 años, fue profesor de cine de unas chicas de 13 y 14 años en una escuela de Munich. El maestro no solo les enseñó los rudimentos del oficio y a pensar el séptimo arte desde múltiples perspectivas, y les proyectó películas como Zazie dans le métro, de Louis Malle; y M, de Fritz Lang, sino que les repartió a cada una cámara Súper 8 para que dirigieran sus propios cortometrajes. Además, filmó todo aquel experimento con la idea de llevar la enseñanza del cine a todas las escuela alemanas (si bien ese proyecto colegial en particular puede ser considerado un éxito la idea nunca se concretó a nivel nacional).
Hace poco tiempo,…

Review by Revacholian Dreams
Manchmal braucht es auch nur ein simples react-Format, wenn dein Film so unglaublich wholesome ist.
Persönliche Favoriten:
-Der Super8-Film einer 13/14-jährigen von ihren Brüdern beim kicken auf dem Feldmochinger Bolzplatz, der Hellmuth Costard dazu inspirierte, seinen Festivalfilm Fußball wie noch nie zu drehen
-"Alte Leute schimpfen"
-Der Super8-Film, dessen einziger Zweck es war, heimlich gefilmte Polizisten lächerlich aussehen zu lassen
-Edgar Reitz himself, der im Q&A durchblicken ließ, mit inzwischen 91 Jahren einen weiteren Spielfilm im Verlauf des Jahres drehen zu wollen -
Review by Eternality Tan ★★★½
Moving in unexpected ways, this meta-filmic documentary about a director who conducted a series of film classes for a group of German girls in 1968, brings everyone back for a reunion as they revisit those wonderful days when filmmaking seemed to have limitless pedagogical possibilities.

Berlinale 74
#15“Se il cinema continuasse a non essere insegnato nelle scuole, avremmo fallito la rivoluzione più importante dell’educazione umana”.
E con questa bellissima affermazione di Edgar Reitz finisce qui la mia prima Berlinale <3

Review by High On Films
Films about filmmaking can be particularly tricky. While they can help us understand the mechanics of this art form, they can easily turn into self-serving documents for the central character/artist. So, I was hesitant to watch the new Edgar Reitz documentary. Luckily, it isn’t remotely as self-serving as I imagined. “Filmstunde_23” (“Subject: Filmmaking”) professes the importance of cinema as a form of communication. It hopes cinema to enter the school curriculum, similar to any spoken or written language.
