On two weekends in August, the Schlüterhof becomes a meeting place for film enthusiasts from all over the world – with summery drinks and snacks.
The open-air festival presents six current cinema productions that are box office hits in their countries of origin but have not yet been shown on the big screen in Germany. Before the screenings, we invite you to thematic spotlights to get you in the mood – with prominent guests!
Over two weekends in August, the Box Office Around the World festival presents six current cinema productions that are audience successes and box office hits in their countries of origin, but have not yet been seen on the big screen in Germany.
Together with representatives of the Berlin communities from Thailand, Argentina, Nigeria, Vietnam, Brazil and India and the curator Dorothee Wenner, the films were selected and an accompanying programme developed. Before the open-air screenings, a thematic spotlight – with a star-studded line-up – will be directed at each film.
NUESTRA TIERRA / Argentinia 2025. . Filmfestival Box Office Around The World 2026
Javier Chocobar’s killer was carrying a camera as well as a pistol when he killed the member of the indigenous Chuschagasta community and seriously injured two other men in October 2009. The video was shown on YouTube – and nine years later in the courtroom. That is how long the trial against the killers – a wealthy landowner and his accomplices, two former police officers – was delayed.
In her documentary, Lucrecia Martel embarks on a journey through time to the colonial roots of the crime and ends up in the present day. Together with her co-writer María Alché, they undertook a meticulous research in the province of Tucumán in north-western Argentina, 1500 kilometres from Buenos Aires. The film documents the consequences of the murder on the community, with Chocobar’s widow often at the centre of attention. The team films in the courtroom, studies files and private photo albums, whilst in the background they forge alliances with human rights organisations. Martel, who has achieved international fame with her feature films, says about her first feature documentary: “Documentary is a very difficult genre because it claims to have a greater connection to reality than fiction. It seeks the truth. Something impossible when dealing with the official history of a country, which is a fiction of monumental proportions.”
Martel tackles the ‘impossible’ with cinematic mastery, offering a close-up view of the insidious mechanisms of power at work against the indigenous population. The result is a highly topical thriller that is currently causing a huge stir, and not just in Argentina.
Programme
8 pm: Talk with María Alché (Screen Writer), Julieta Zarankin (Curator) & Dorothee Wenner (Host) (in English and Spanish)
9 pm: Film
Participants
María Alché is an Argentine screenwriter, director and actress. Her debut feature Submerged Family (2018) premiered at the Locarno Film Festival and won, among other awards, the Ingmar Bergman Award for Best Debut Feature in Gothenburg and the Horizontes Latinos award in San Sebastián. Her second film, Puan (2023, co-directed with Benjamín Naishtat), won Best Screenplay and the Silver Shell for Best Actor in San Sebastián’s official competition, became a box-office success in Argentina, Spain and France, and represented Argentina at Box Office Around the World 2024 at the Humboldt Forum.
Julieta Zarankin was born in Buenos Aires and has been living in Berlin since 2009. After completing her studies at the Faculty of Philosophy and Literature at the University of Buenos Aires, she worked in various areas of film promotion, distribution, and production — including festivals such as BAFICI and Mar del Plata, production companies like Black Forest Films and Sommerhaus Filmproduktion, distributors such as Santa Cine, as well as the cinema Wolf Kino, where she was part of the founding team. In 2021, she became a member of the Berlinale Co-Production Market team, where she continues to work. In 2014, she founded INVASION, the first Argentine film and culture festival in Berlin, which she has directed ever since. In 2023, she joined Dorothee Wenner to curate the Argentine movie for Box Office Around the World at the Humboldt Forum.
