Monday, 11 am at HAU 1: Heroes vs. Anti-Heroes: Success Stories in Cinema

Guests: Julie Delpy, Benjamin Gilmour, Julia Jentsch, Ralph Ziman. Moderated by Grahame Weinbren.

From the programme: "The panel ponders the identity of the contemporary cinematic hero, how we relate to him or her, both as filmmakers and as viewers. How the dark anti-hero plays on our consciousness and what we take away from a film that portrays such a character? The fiction filmmakers, Benjamin Gilmour, whose directorial debut Son of A Lion features in the Berlinale Forum, and Ralph Ziman, whose Jerusalema is part of the Berlinale Panorama, and the actresses Julia Jentsch, winner of the 2005 Silver Bear for Best Actress in Sophie Scholl – The Final Days and Julie Delpy, who has worked in over 30 films, will discuss how one finds a way to live with a character for the one of two years it takes to make a film, when the character is someone who would be impossible to relate to in real life."
