There is no hurry in Africa.

Have you ever been on a backpacker holiday?
Being inspired by Benjamin Prüfer and also interested in a little adventure we went to South Africa for checking out this backpacker thing.

We travelled and worked in South Africa so that we dare to say that we got to know a little about living in South Africa.
Our first impression of the hostel in Durban was: no luxury (even for a hostel) but a special, almost magic atmosphere. The African people were open minded and special. In the beginning their caring attitude towards “strangers” can be confusing, but after an adaptation-phase we enjoyed it. People on the street share your enthusiasm about a local football club and give you helpful advise about things and places to avoid.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

The Variety Piazza Grande Award of the International Film Festival Locarno
goes to:
SAME SAME BUT DIFFERENT by Detlev Buck

"The Variety Piazza Grande Award, awarded by Derek Elley and Jay Weissberg, critics of the American trade paper, is attributed to a film screened on the Piazza Grande as a world or international première. The prize recognises a film that stands out for both its artistic qualities and its potential for theatrical release."

We congratulate the whole SAME SAME BUT DIFFERENT Team!

Cinema Fromage- A Cambodian night in Rögnitz

Recently a special event occurred in a little village, called Rögnitz, situated in Mecklenburg- Vorpommern.
In this village, Martin Rohrbeck, (Line producer) occasionally runs a little cinema in the old firestation. Martin’s wife, Ute Rohrbeck manufactures handmade goat cheese and that’s why they regularly show a short documentary of the process of the cheese production. Therefore the cinema is called: CINEMA FROMAGE – Germany’s first cheese cinema. But there are also lots of other events taking place, such as “the long night of short movies” or a few days ago: “Same Same But Different – a Cambodian night”. An evening with the trailer, clips from the movie and with lots of different pictures, showing the shooting of the movie in Cambodia. Everything commented by the host of the evening, Martin Rohrbeck. The Cinema Fromage does not only offer great movies, but the food and drinks play an important role too. Therefore the round about 40 guests had the chance to enjoy a great Asian buffet with a variation of different cocktails. The crowd was amazed and agreed on coming back next summer to watch the hole movie open air, with space for 100 people!

Soon on the blog: Videoimpressions of the evening and the CINEMA FROMAGE
