In Our Own Images - Pearl Necklaces, Reed Boats, Baskets
Short films by children from Cameroon, Venezuela, Papua New Guinea and Peru

Tradition and crafts - hammocks, reed boats and fire: How do you learn to light a fire without matches and how do you weave a hammock? How do you use a traditional Peruvian reed boat for fishing?
Skills and traditions are often passed on to children by their parents or elders. Children in Peru, Venezuela and Papua New Guinea have filmed a small part of their everyday life and let you be part of it.
TO THE SERIES
Playing with cars, building things, singing, laughing, learning - that's part of everyday life for many children in Berlin. But what about collecting firewood, catching fish or weaving baskets? Children from Cameroon, Papua New Guinea, Venezuela and Peru have learned how to make films and portray their everyday lives in workshops. They show us how food is made in their home towns, how they play and how local traditions and crafts are practiced.
These films can be seen twice a month at the Humboldt Forum - in a children's cinema experience that provides insights into diverse ways of life. Three short films with a thematic focus are shown each time. A presenter guides the children through the afternoon. The films are not only exciting for children aged 6 and over, but also for their younger and older siblings, brothers and sisters, aunts, uncles, grandparents and friends.
The following partners have realized the films:
DOCUPERU
DOCUPERU is a non-profit organization that promotes, distributes and produces documentary films in various formats to support the democratization of communication and the development of national and international communities. The organization focuses on human relations and implementation processes to promote participatory and collaborative methodologies aimed at empowering the communities involved in the production of documentary material. Docuperu is committed to a more just, ecologically responsible, democratic and inclusive society in which citizens are actively involved in telling their own story.
Docuperu is convinced that proactive action and dialogic communication enable new forms of relationships between citizens. Docuperu strives for equitable representation of all urban and rural communities across the communicative and social spectrum, and in 2017, when the Humboldt Forum was still under construction, Docuperu representatives came to Berlin to present some of their short films at an event on the construction site.In 2019, we were able to accompany their "Caravan Documental" in northern Peru for a week, during which the films for "In eigener Regie" were made. We are impressed by Docuperu's artistic aspirations and, above all, their socio-political efforts, which make them a valued partner for our work. The films are not shown in the exhibition spaces, as they were only added to the series after the project had been conceived.
The event series takes place in cooperation with the Ethnological Museum Berlin.
- The films will be shown in German dubbing.
- Venue: Room 3
- Price: 4 EUR, reduced 2 EUR
- from 6 years
