Mentors: Ayla Gottschlich, Serpil Turhan
Kiez-Monatsschau is a format that started in 2009. In the past four years of continuous production, young post-migrants in cooperation with mentors from diverse artistic genres examine their own situation and the things they are concerned with, thereby taking their medial self-representation into their own hands.
Serpil Turhan and Ayla Gottschlich were two of the first mentors (Vol. III). In issue no. XVII of Kiez-Monatsschau they take the young participants back to the beginnings. How does research and development for a documentary film work, what are the issues young post-migrants in Berlin are concerned with and how do they represent their own perspective on film? Berlin has changed in the meantime. Is it still possible to buy Tillidin with a prescription at the pharmacy? Does the municipal soup kitchen where we filmed four years ago still exist? And what are the movers and shakers of the third Kiez-Monatsschau actually doing today? Together the young protagonists give accounts of life in their city.
What kind of information is represented in the media? In the Kiez-Monatsschau, young post-migrants take on the role of producers and take the floor to make themselves heard.
