25th Cottbus Film Festival

November 5, 2015

Until Sunday, November 8th, the city of Cottbus is at the center of the (not only) Eastern European film world with the 25th Cottbus Film Festival. The city in southeastern Brandenburg’s Lausitz region, near the German-Polish border and situated in an area populated by the Slavic Sorb minority, is a geographically and culturally ideal location for presenting Eastern European films and facilitating East-West cultural exchange.

Founded in 1991 by film professionals who gained their first cinephile experiences in the GDR film club scene – a forum for discovering more exotic cinematic fare than in state-regulated mainstream cinemas – the festival has essentially told a history of post socialist transformation on film. The festival’s main mission was and is to showcase the excellence and diversity of films from Eastern Europe (by the festival’s own definition all countries and successor countries of the former Warsaw Pact, from the former GDR to Caucasus and Central Asian former Soviet states). By presenting a broad array of works, including national blockbusters, art house highlights and works by newcomers, the film festival aims to playfully tweak at those Western clichés about post 1989 Eastern Europe: booze, brutality and brass music.

Nebojsa Glogovac and Anica Dobra in BELGRAD RADIO TAXI (The Woman With A Broken Nose) by Srdjan Koljevic

This year, the established Competition (short and feature), National Hits and Spectrum sections are augmented by a special focus on “Eastern Europe of Cities”. The fifth and final focus in a series devoted to diversity in Eastern Europe (previous festival editions focused on queerEast, religions, cultures and regions). Curated by festival program director Bernd Buder and scholar-journalist Barbara Wurm, “Eastern Europe of Cities” presents documentaries and two fiction films exploring various aspects of urban development in Warsaw, Simferopol (Crimea), Kjustendil in Bulgaria, Baku, Sarajevo, Kazan, Kyiv, Moscow, Chisinau, Yerewan and Tiflis. Gentrification, seclusion of marginalized ethnic and other groups, armed conflict, but also alternative culture, celebrations of everyday life and satire of modern big city mores are feature in the program. At the “Grand Hotel Prizren” festival sidebar exhibition, music videos showing urban life in various Central and Eastern European cities are screened.

In the video below (in German), Bernd Buder discusses the background and thematic lines of the program:

youtube

The Cottbus Film Festival has a channel on realeyz featuring highlights from past editions. BELGRAD RADIO TAXI is poised to become the urban cult film for the Serbian capital, while KONTROLL is a dark comedy cum thriller set in the Budapest underground train system. And the ever popular SHUTKA BOOK OF RECORDS is a mockumentary about Shutka in Macedonia. The town is purportedly the largest Roma community in the Balkans, its inhabitants have also broken any record known to man. (Sacha Baron Cohen, were you listening?)

A cartographic plot

The first part of this was written for Spark. I went a bit over the wordcount while talking about the importance of places in my fanfics, and decided to post the entire thing here on tumblr. The bit published in Spark is above, the rest below the cut.

I started writing BBC Sherlock fanfiction in the back of my parents’ car after a week spent cycling in the French Alps. For years, my father had talked about tackling the Col du Galibier, a pass of Tour de France fame, by bicycle. In the summer of 2012, we finally did it. Ah, but Sherlock and cycling? Where’s the connection? When I began writing the story, scribbling on whatever scrap of paper was available in the car, at first the only connection was that I loved both Sherlock and cycling, and that my recent experiences in the mountains, spending hours in the saddle arduously ascending winding roads, had made a deep impression on me. I was desperate for an outlet for my pent up inspiration.

Eventually, what started out as a cracky premise for a Post-Reichenbach Sherlock story became Over Hill and Under Hill, a fanfic of 75k words and the first finished instalment of my Over/Under series. In the story, the extreme, beautiful landscape of Savoyen serves as a backdrop for the Baker Street boys to deal with the fallout of the Fall (written before Series 3 aired, my version of Sherlock’s reunion with John is different from canon) and their feelings for each other while basically doing what I had just done: climbing Alpine passes on their bicycles. At some point, a case creeps into the story, too, which Sherlock solves from abroad.

Apart from telling my version of the reunion, I wanted to write a story about grandiose nature, the hardship of ascending two thousand metres of altitude on a bicycle, the elation of standing on top of the pass glancing over the mountains, and the rush of adrenaline during the steep descents. I yearned to include some of the strange people we’d met on the way and who return as minor characters in the story, such as the chap cycling all the way in tight black swimming trunks and nothing else. How fortunate for the storyteller that the long ascents give John and Sherlock time to think and to talk, while the descents make their adrenaline junkies’ hearts soar. They have to share a room and a double bed at the hotel, of course, which leads to ... things. The plot itself is structured by the landscape, almost following the roads they cycle on bend for bend and landmark for landmark. Weather conditions such as hot, relentless sun and a sudden thunderstorm add a touch of drama. Stops along the way provide incentives for reflections, conversations and realisations, and for the boys getting to know each other again after their separation.

I was surprised by how well it worked to transfer these very urban characters so closely associated with London into this new setting and unfamiliar activity, keeping their essence (hopefully) while letting the landscape and its particular blend of beauty and danger work its magic, moulding the two men into the couple they hadn’t realised they’d been all along.

Looking back, the way Over Hill and Under Hill came about shouldn’t have surprised me. Of the books and stories I grew up with, and which have left a lasting impression on me, most have a very specific setting and precise sense of place. Be it the stories by Astrid Lindgren, mostly set in the Swedish region of Småland during the time of her childhood in the early 20th century, or Vasapark and the small islands around Stockholm of her adult life, or Otfried Preußler’s masterful descriptions of the Lausitz region in Eastern Germany where his captivating novel Krabat is set. Or be it JRR Tolkien, the master of making the fictional yet reality-grounded landscape of Middle-earth absolutely integral to the plot and structure of his writings. Even if many believe Middle-earth to be found in New Zealand, based on Peter Jackson’s film adaptations, the true inspiration for the Shire are Tolkien’s beloved West Midlands. The hemlock glade where Beren sees Lúthien dance for the first time in The Silmarillion is based on a similar glade near Great Haywood Tolkien watched his wife dance. And the gruesome Dead Marshes on the borders of Mordor Tolkien experienced himself on the war-torn battlefields of the Somme. I think it’s safe to claim that the landscapes that he encountered as a child and young man seeped into his writings, in many cases becoming not just interesting tableaux to add colour to the stories, but important tools to provide characterisation, suspense, and poignant reminders of the preciousness of the natural world.

For me, the spatial setting of a story and its detailed description have always been an important requirement for my enjoyment of a tale. The “willing suspension of disbelief”, to quote Tolkien, works best for me when the setting of a story is as detailed and well observed as possible, grounded in physical laws and restrictions as well as the distinctive laws of the story. Weather, vegetation, distances, languages and the effects they have on the characters have to be realistic – both when existing and imagined places are described –, otherwise I’m quickly pulled out of the narrative and lose interest (by the way, this is one of my major gripes with “The Final Problem”: the way it sets at naught many of the basic “laws” established in previous episodes of Sherlock). Hints at local customs and peculiarities add colour, depth and believability to a setting, providing the characters with material to rub against and to engage with, to test their limits and limitations.

For me as an author (and illustrator), researching locations for fanfics or art is part of the enjoyment of writing, especially when it can be linked with visits to said locations (my excuse for frequent trips to the UK – I’m based in Germany). I’m a stickler for detail born out of a profound interest in the natural world, in botany, eco-systems, geology and geography, but also in the way historic events shape and influence landscape and its inhabitants. All these aspects I need to see reflected in fiction, and rendered faithfully, or else I can’t take a setting seriously, not the characters and their motivations. Most of the fanfics I’ve enjoyed so far have a very strong sense of place, be it London, Edinburgh, New York, Continental Europe, the Near East or the English countryside. In my own stories, I try to emulate this, preferring to write about places I’ve come to know through repeated visits and extensive literary and online research, as well as correspondence with locals.

Researching my WW2/codebreaker AU Enigma constitutes a special challenge in this respect, because it not only requires me to gather information about existing locations like Bletchley Park, Kent or London, but also wartime Britain in general, removed not just by space but by more than seventy intervening years. Although the internet is a brilliant tool for research, while trying to find out more about the history of the Enigma locations, visits have brought the places to life for me, particularly Bletchley Park. The venue has been transformed into a commendable museum that seeks to recreate the atmosphere of it’s hay-day as a secret codebreaker base through reconstructed huts and historical installations, as well as information about important figures such as Alan Turing, and live demonstrations of his inventions. Interestingly, at the museum, I even found factual confirmation of what I had considered an invention for my story. When it came to locating Sherlock’s and John’s billet in Bletchley in 1941, Google Maps was of limited help: most of Bletchley was built after the war – it’s now part of Milton Keynes –, and from the map, it was almost impossible to tell which parts of it would have existed during the war and which were built afterwards. Old maps or arial photographs were scarce. So I used a bit of deductive reasoning and common sense, basically looking at the main roads leading in and out of town and assuming that they would have been built first. On a whim, I chose one of those thoroughfares, Buckingham Road, and placed the billet there. And lo and behold, during a subsequent visit to the Bletchley Park Museum, I found a photograph depicting billets of the park’s staff situated on the very road.

Lucky coincidences aside, nothing beats a visit to a location one wants to write about. However sometimes, due to constraints of time or money, visits aren’t possible and research from afar has to suffice. I worked like that when I started writing The Summer Boy. I’d been toying with the idea of a story partially set in Sherlock’s childhood for a long while. 1980s nostalgia played a part since I was a child during that decade as well, as did the desire to get to know the character better and to speculate what made him the man we encounter in the show, after glimpses of his past shown in Series 3.

However, a fitting setting for my story to unfold long eluded me. I was striving for an atmosphere similar to that of one of my all-time favourite films, “Stand By Me”, a bitter-sweet yet authentic depiction of childhood with a strong sense of spatial setting. I wanted the location to be a rural one, preferably close to London, with a distinctive landscape and somewhat fragile eco-system, the partial destruction of which would feature in the story to symbolise a place Sherlock could not really return to, but that offered him the chance of “growing up“ and finding an alternative retreat through his developing relationship with John.

Given the canonical links Sherlock Holmes has with Sussex, I began looking for potential locations along the Sussex coast and in the South Downs. I didn’t just want to invent a village or landmark, but wanted the story that was going to contain mythical and supernatural elements (based on how it’s interpreted, at least), to be set in a real place. The landscape and particular vegetation of the chalky downlands were going to play an important part in the story. And remember: stickler for detail. The plants, animals and historical sites Sherlock encounters had to be correct. So I researched the South Downs and their particular chalk-based vegetation, read up on South Down sheep, about Bronze and Iron Age settlements and their remains, and about the myths and legends of the area. I found striking similarities to Terry Pratchett’s masterful depiction of the Chalk in his Tiffany Aching series (The Wee Free Men and its four sequels), which is doubtlessly based on the chalky Wiltshire Downs he lived on. The link to Pratchett, his blend of real, meticulously observed, and fantastical elements based on myths and local culture (which are again inspired by the landscapes they originated in) seemed a good foil for my own story, which grew to contain lots of references to his works. I even partly modelled some of the characters on figures from his series of books.

Still, the dilemma remained to find a concrete place, preferably one featuring an ancient site or landmark such as a hill-fort or a barrow that would function as a focal place for young Sherlock to discover and to spend time at with the mysterious friend he encounters there, and who seems to be a personification of the South Downs, and of summer. By chance (and Google Image Search), I stumbled across a place called Chanctonbury Ring, a henge of trees planted in the 18th century on an Iron Age hill-fort. The South Downs Way leads past it, it commands a good view all around. Sheep graze there in summer, and on the grassy and partly wooded slopes surrounding it many rare plants grow. It’s in walking distance of a quaint village (Washington), which I could use as a base for Sherlock to be accommodated at with relatives. And what ultimately made Chanctonbury Ring the perfect location for my story was the fact that during the Great Storm of 1987, the trees of the henge were almost completely destroyed. I had wanted to set the story in that very year, because I imagine BBC Sherlock’s age to be around Benedict’s and my own (we are only seven months apart), which would make Sherlock around nine in the story, pre-pubescent. Perfect. His fake gravestone from TRF even says 1977, so that fit. And we all know what’s said about coincidences and lazy universes ...

So, perfect spatial and temporal setting found, I still faced the sad fact that I hadn’t actually visited Chanctonbury Ring, nor could see any chance of getting there soon. Nevertheless, the story demanded to be written. Consulting Google Maps as well as photographs helped to get an idea of the place. I looked at similar places in my home country across the Channel. Thus equipped, I started writing (the muse wouldn’t suffer any delay and kept pestering me until I relented), in the hope to actually be able to visit Chanctonbury Ring before I had come too far, enabling me to revise potential mistakes.

Eventually, when the story was already half written, and during the wrong season of the year (the story is set in the summer, I went in December), I visited Chanctonbury Ring. I was pleased to find that my descriptions of the landscape were surprisingly accurate based on what research I’d done, although the visit did add a feeling for the place that hopefully enabled me to make the latter chapters more poignant.

Arguably the most important location for writing Sherlock fanfic is London, a place I’ve become very familiar with in recent years due to frequent visits with long walks and a full timetable of museums, exhibitions, galleries and cultural events, lots of reading about the history of the city, a strong interest in current events, and constant curiosity that lets me explore places off the beaten tracks.

London was one of my favourite places even before I my obsession with BBC Sherlock happened. Actually, I’m convinced the way London is portrayed in the series is one of the main reasons Sherlock struck such a chord with me. Apart from the humour, the obvious chemistry of the protagonists, the cleverness of the dialogues and the overall aesthetics, it was the way modern London was depicted and made an integral character that fascinated me so much about the show. Despite large parts of Sherlock being filmed in Cardiff and elsewhere, they nevertheless feel like parts of the British capital just off the main tourist tracks. Sherlock’s London is both familiar and strange, ugly and beautiful, dark and bright, historic and modern. The character’s particular way of focussing on seemingly unimportant details is reflected in the cinematography. The choice of unusual settings and locations such as Speedy’s Café, Battersea Power Station, the streets of Soho, Leinster Garden, a disused Tube station and the banks of the Thames add atmosphere and colour, making London a living, breathing character in the show – as it was in the original Conan Doyle stories. Occasionally, a touch of Victoriana, ever present even in modern London, creeps into the series, linking it back to the stories it’s based on. Sherlock has definitely rekindled my love of London, or rather, has fanned the already existing embers into hot flames. In the sequels to Over Hill and Under Hill, and several of my other Sherlock fanfics, I’ve tried to honour this tradition by including curious locations in, and little-known minutiae about London to make it come to life as an integral part of the narration, and also to create credibility for the setting.

I have plans to dive even deeper into London past and present. For about a year and half I’ve been working on a Sherlock/London graphic novel in which the location becomes centre point. The story is simple: to alleviate boredom, on his birthday, Sherlock is sent on a “treasure hunt” through London, moving from riddle to riddle and clue to clue set, from one little known location to the next, discovering facts and anecdotes about what he visits in the process. The idea for the book was born out of my many walks through London, along the South Bank, through the City on Sunday mornings when it’s like a ghost town, deserted, along the Regent’s Canal to Camden and on to Hampstead Heath, through the East End and the West End, Chinatown, Soho, Bloomsbury, through Chelsea and Kensington, and further out to the Docklands and Greenwich. I’ve discovered real gems through these walks, some of which Sherlock is going to visit as well – as many as I can realistically squeeze into twenty-four hours without completely exhausting the poor man.

The project is going to occupy me for a good while yet. Also planned are two sequels to The Summer Boy. One is based on a painting I did for the Holmestice Exchange and which depicts John and Sherlock in a disused Tube station. There was some clamouring for a story based on the image, so I’m going to oblige. Since the Tube is such an integral part of London and I’ve long been fascinated with its history, I look forward to researching it.

The second sequel is going to be set in the Lake District. Some of the research for this new story has already been done, and another visit to the area has been booked for the autumn. I haven’t really thought of a plot for the story yet, some vague ideas aside, but I’m very sure that the landscape of Cumbria will provide it once I’m there. A cartographic plot, as usual.

FUNDAÇÃO E GETÚLIO VARGAS E ALEMANHA ESTUDAM MANEIRAS DE RECUPERAR LOCAIS DEGRADADOS PELA MINERAÇÃO EM MINAS GERAIS

RECUPERAÇÃO DA REGIÃO DE RUHR COM A MINERADORA CONSTRUINDO UM ESTÁDIO

A Fundação Getúlio Vargas e o Consulado Geral da Alemanha no Rio de Janeiro firmaram acordo para desenvolver a iniciativa de cooperação técnica bilateral “Rumo a uma transição justa: uma oportunidade para Minas Gerais“. Com apoio do Ministério das Relações Exteriores da Alemanha, a iniciativa será lançada e discutida em um evento nos próximos dias 18 e 19 de março, em Belo Horizonte. Serão promovidos nesses dois dias uma conferência e um workshop. O evento visa abordar tanto as experiências alemães, quanto as oportunidades e os desafios da implementação de um processo de transição para o desenvolvimento sustentável em Minas Gerais. A iniciativa tem como objetivo propor e apoiar a implantação de um novo modelo de desenvolvimento econômico para as regiões de mineração do Estado de Minas Gerais, baseado no conceito de “transição justa” – transformação de uma economia regional dependente de atividades extrativistas (principalmente minerais) em uma economia mais diversificada, dinâmica e social e ambientalmente sustentável.

A ideia central da iniciativa é trazer para o Brasil as experiências e o conhecimento das antigas regiões carboníferas da Alemanha, que passaram ou estão em processo de “transição justa” e são consideradas boas práticas em nível internacional. Os modelos já trilhados na Alemanha, considerando as especificidades do contexto brasileiro, é preciso adaptar os modelos de planejamento e governança, assim como promover a transferência e absorção de competências e tecnologias, e definir possíveis estruturas

MINA ABANDONADA EM RUHR

Serão estudados dois casos alemães que podem ajudar na implementação do processo de transição justa em Minas Gerais. Um dos casos é o do Vale de Ruhr, uma das maiores regiões de indústria pesada da Europa e um antigo centro de

RECUPERAÇÃO DA PAISAGEM DO VALE DE RHUR

mineração de carvão. Em resposta ao declínio da região, foram executados 117 projetos, entre eles a renovação ecológica do antigo canal de esgoto da região e o estabelecimento de uma estrutura regional de parques chamada Emscher Landscape Park.

O segundo caso é o da região de Lausitz, que por mais de 150 anos foi caracterizada pela mineração e o processamento de linhito, um tipo de carvão mineral. Mais de 20 minas a céu aberto foram fechadas no início dos anos 1990. Com o objetivo de renovar a paisagem nessa região rural após a mineração foram implementadas nove ilhas paisagísticas com mais de 30 projetos de diferentes categorias: patrimônio industrial, paisagens aquáticas, paisagens energéticas, novos territórios, paisagens fronteiriças, paisagens urbanas e paisagens de transição.

Local: Hotel Ouro Minas, Belo Horizonte, MG

Dia 18/03 – CONFERÊNCIA

9h00 – 9h30 Abertura

9h30 – 11h00 Painel I: Modelos de desenvolvimento econômico, planejamento, engajamento dos stakeholders

Panorama da economia baseada na mineração no estado de Minas Gerais e a necessidade de identificar um modelo de desenvolvimento mais sustentável. Apresentação

So trollen Aktivisten seit Monaten die deutsche Rüstungsindustrie

Ein falscher Friedenspreis im Berliner Hotel InterContinental. Eine erfundene CDU-Kampagne. Eine angebliche Rückrufaktion von Heckler & Koch. Monatelang haben Aktivisten und Schauspieler drei provokante Aktionen vorbereitet, um die Waffenindustrie bloßzustellen. BuzzFeed News war exklusiv dabei und erzählt hier, wie die Aktivisten beinahe gescheitert wären – und jetzt trotzdem ein deutsches Gesetz verändern wollen. Darf man bei einer Veranstaltung der Rüstungsindustrie Hornbrille tragen? Besser wären Kontaktlinsen. Wer welche hat, bringt die bitte mit. Und lange Haare? Lieber nochmal zum Friseur, die Kosten werden übernommen. Für die lila Haare gibt es später noch eine Perücke. Den Anzug kürzen wir mit Gaffer-Tape. Und bitte nicht nur Anzug, sondern auch Krawatte tragen – wenn es irgendwie geht. Noch sind es genau acht Stunden, bis die Falle zuschnappen soll. Es ist 10 Uhr, der letzte Donnerstag im April, wir sind im Hauptquartier des Aktivisten-Kollektivs Peng in der Lausitzer Straße, mitten im linken Berliner Bezirk Kreuzberg. Gleich neben dem Büro von Peng arbeitet die Autorin des Buches "Kommunismus für Kinder", eine Tür weiter die Initiative Schwarze Menschen in Deutschland. An den Wänden hängt Werbung für eine große Party: Keine Sause ohne Lause. Für den Abend hat Peng gemeinsam mit dem Schauspiel Dortmund den 14. Stock im Berliner Hotel InterContinental gemietet. Eine der feinsten Adressen der Stadt. Zwei Tage zuvor haben hier Angela Merkel und Ivanka Trump beim W20-Gipfel über Feminismus geredet. Heute soll hier der 1. Deutsch-Französische Friedenspreis verliehen werden. An die Waffenindustrie. Vor Monaten hätte kaum einer der Beteiligten geglaubt, dass das wirklich klappen könnte, aber jetzt wird das alles auf einmal erstaunlich real. "Bitte, bitte, bitte nicht lachen" Zur Vorbereitung treffen sich die Schauspieler im ersten Stock der Kreuzberger "Lause", am Ende des Ganges. Etwa zwei Dutzend Personen drängen sich in den zu kleinen Raum, einige sitzen auf dem Boden oder an Tische gelehnt. Die Aktivisten von Peng erklären nochmal den Ablauf. Um 18 Uhr wird es losgehen mit einem Steh-Empfang. Eine knappe halbe Stunde müssen die Schauspieler überstehen und die Illusion eines echten Empfanges aufrecht erhalten, bevor der Preis an die Waffenindustrie verliehen werden soll. Damit diejenigen, die nicht wissen, dass der Abend ein Fake ist, nicht gleich wieder gehen. "Egal was passiert, bitte, bitte, bitte nicht lachen." Die Schauspieler sind aufgeregt, nervös, aber gut gelaunt. Peng hat mich zwei Tage vorher eingeweiht. Die Aktivisten definieren sich über ihr Echo in der Öffentlichkeit. Deshalb haben sie mich eingeladen, als Beobachter mit dabei zu sein. Für den Abend muss auch ich in eine Rolle schlüpfen. Offiziell ist die Veranstaltung nicht öffentlich. Deshalb heiße ich heute Daniel Schmidt und arbeite für Rheinmetall Defence. Einer der Peng-Aktivisten hält nochmal eine motivierende Rede. Die Gruppe tritt auch wegen ihrer zuletzt teils sehr provokanten Aktionen öffentlich nur anonym auf. "Unser Gast muss in diese Falle treten, das ist das Ziel des ganzen Abends. Wir wollen ihn auf der Bühne, dann haben wir das Bild auf Kamera und können ihm unangenehme Fragen stellen." Und bitte, heute Abend, bevor es losgeht, nicht zu viel Sekt auf leeren Magen trinken. Alle im Raum spielen eine Rolle Hanna Lippmann / CC BY-SA 3.0 DE Fünf Stunden später, ich bin in Anzug und Krawatte geschlüpft und habe meine Einladungskarte dabei. Mit dem schweren Aufzug fahre ich in den 14. Stock des InterContinental. Zwei Schauspielerinnen empfangen mich, verkleidet als Hostessen. Der Raum ist schon halb gefüllt mit etwa 20 Personen. Ich unterhalte mich mit dem Referenten einer politischen Forschungseinrichtung aus Freiburg, mit der Vertreterin eines französischen Waffenkonzerns und der Vorsitzendes des CDU-Ortsverbandes Schwenke. Und auch Konstantin Hartung begrüßt mich, von der Agentur Silverlinings, die das hier alles organisiert hat. Alle Gespräche sind fake, alle im Raum spielen eine Rolle, alle sind Schauspieler, Aktivisten oder deren Freunde. Hanna Lippmann / CC BY-SA 3.0 DE Es gibt echten Sekt und echten Wein, ein Pianist spielt leichte Musik. Der Blick geht über ganz Berlin, rechts die Gedächtniskirche, links der Zoo. Und überall ganz viel Licht. Der Raum ist wirklich beeindruckend. Wir machen Fotos vor einer extra installierten Wand des Deutsch-Französischen Friedenspreises. Die Fotografin muss mich zum Lächeln ermuntern. Alles ist wie auf einer echten Preisverleihung. Nur dass es diesmal Theater ist. Und dass der Raum langsam nervös wird. Wir alle spielen unsere Rollen für einen einzigen Gast: Christian Stuve, Chef des Berliner Büros von ThyssenKrupp. Für Stuve findet das alles hier statt. Ein verdammt teures Theaterstück für eine Person. Wird Stuve tatsächlich kommen, so wie er es noch wenige Stunden vorher der Agentur Silverlinings bestätigt hatte? Und wenn er kommt, wird er den Preis annehmen, den goldenen Ares, den 1. Deutsch-Französischen Friedenspreis für die Rüstungsindustrie, benannt nach dem griechischen Gott des Krieges? Hanna Lippmann / CC BY-SA 3.0 DE Fünf Monate lang haben die Aktivisten und Schauspieler diesen Abend vorbereitet. Im November fahren die Peng-Mitarbeiter zum ersten Mal von Berlin nach Dortmund, treffen sich dort mit Kollegen des Schauspiel Dortmund. Den ganzen Monat über bleiben sie, denken über mögliche Aktionen gegen die Rüstungsindustrie nach, entwickeln Ideen – und verwerfen sie wieder. Seitdem arbeiten sie an diesem Projekt, in Vollzeit. All das ist nur möglich, weil Peng und das Schauspiel Dortmund von der Kulturstiftung des Bundes über zwei Jahre verteilt mit 150.000 Euro unterstützt werden. Das Geld fließt über das Programm Doppelpass, das schon mehr als 50 solcher Kooperationen zwischen freien Gruppen und festen Theater- und Tanzhäusern gefördert hat. Die größte Trollaktion, die die Waffenindustrie seit langem erlebt hat, wird mit Steuergeld bezahlt. "Es gehört zur Praxis künstlerischer Freiheit, sich mit politischen Standpunkten und Maßnahmen staatlicher Institutionen auseinanderzusetzen", schreibt die Leiterin Kommunikation der Kulturstiftung, Friederike Tappe-Hornbostel, auf Anfrage von BuzzFeed News. Nach Wochen des Gedankenwirbelns legen sich die Aktivisten auf drei Ideen fest. Die erste dieser drei Ideen ist der Deutsch-Französische Friedenspreis. Die Aktion soll zeigen, wie heuchlerisch die Rüstungsindustrie ihr Image aufpolieren will. Wenn sie tatsächlich einen Friedenspreis annehmen würde, wären das die perfekten Bilder für die Aktion der Aktivisten. Die Aktivisten starten mit langem Atem und bauen erst einmal eine Reihe von Webseiten auf. Die IDSAEK, die Initiative für dauerhafte Stabilität im außereuropäischen Kontext. Mit ihrem angeblich steinreichen Vorsitzenden Michael Fischer, der diesen Preis ausgerufen hat – aber eigentlich Schauspieler ist. Die Agentur Silverlinings. Und schließlich der Deutsch-Französische Friedenspreis. Als alles vorbereitet ist, schickt Peng unter dem Namen Konstantin Hartung die erste Anfrage raus. Es ist der 23. Februar 2017. Der angebliche Geschäftsführer der Agentur Silverlinings schreibt an Franz-Josef Jung, den ehemaligen Verteidigungsminister. "Wie telefonisch schon besprochen laden wir Sie hiermit herzlich..." Jung soll eine zehnminütige Keynote halten, sagt aber nach einigen Rückfragen wenige Tage später ab. Anfrage Keynote: Preis für Sicherheit und Frieden in Berlin am 27.04.17 Screeenshot BuzzFeed News In den kommenden Tagen verschickt Hartung Anfragen an Dutzende Firmen, Politiker und Wissenschaftler, von Daimler über Airbus bis hin zu Rolls Royce, häufig mehrfach. Die Aktivsten recherchieren wochenlang, um die Hintergründe der Waffenindustrie, aber auch die Adressen der Geschäftsführer und Abteilungsleiter rauszufinden. Schließlich engagieren sie sogar einen Rechercheur. Trotzdem schreiben sie zum Teil Menschen an, die gar nicht mehr als Geschäftsführer bei diesen Firmen arbeiten – oder schicken E-Mails und Briefe an die falsche Adresse. Bei ThyssenKrupp probieren sie es gleich mit mehreren Briefen. Alle kommen ungeöffnet zurück, außer der Brief an Senior Vice President Christian Stuve. Der beißt an. Der Berliner Büroleiter von ThyssenKrupp will kommen. Die Aktivisten haben ein Hoch. Zwischenzeitlich haben sie auch noch Zusagen von Atlas Elektronik, Hensoldt, Air Robot und Sig Sauer. Mit vielen Gästen aus Politik und Industrie sind die Aktivisten parallel im Gespräch. Doch sie werden übermütig. Als ein Telefonat mit einem Vertreter eines großen Rüstungskonzerns vielversprechend läuft, aber ohne Zusage bleibt, wirbt Peng beim nächsten Telefonat mit dem Namen des Konzerns. Weil die Branche klein ist, fliegt das schnell auf. Mehrere Gäste ziehen ihre Zusage für die Veranstaltung zurück. Eine verschlossene Branche knacken Auch die Politik sagt ab. Fast ein Dutzend Bundespolitiker schreibt Peng an, telefoniert und schreibt mit deren Mitarbeitern – doch am Ende sagen alle ab. "Wir haben versucht, eine sehr verschlossene Branche mit zwei neuen Playern zu infiltrieren, mit der Initiative IDSAEK und der Agentur Silverlinings. Das war natürlich riesiger Aufwand", sagt Peng. In den zehn Tagen vor der Veranstaltung kommen die meisten dieser Absagen. "Wir haben schon befürchtet, dass wir vielleicht am Ende alleine dastehen und niemand kommt. Wir waren sehr nervös", sagt Lia Rea, ebenfalls ein falscher Name, vom Peng-Kollektiv. "An dem Punkt gab es nur noch: durchziehen und beten." Als es am Ende Ernst wird, als die Absagenwelle durch ist, da bleibt Christian Stuve von ThyssenKrupp tatsächlich als einzige Hoffnung auf den großen Knall. Der Vertreter eines Konzerns, der zuletzt zum Beispiel vier U-Boote an Ägyptens Militär verkauft hat und mit dem Rüstungsgeschäft Milliarden umsetzt. Der Gast ist da, das Theater kann beginnen Als der Abend im 14. Stock des InterContinental endlich beginnt, lässt sich Stuve lange nicht blicken. Erst gegen Ende des halbstündigen Empfangs, als die Preisverleihung langsam losgehen soll, kommt Stuve dazu. Tiefblauer, perfekt sitzender Anzug, dazu passendes Einstecktuch. Eine markante, schwarze Brille, dazu ein leicht ergrauter Bart und ein fokussierter Blick. Der Gast ist da, das Theater kann beginnen. Die Schauspieler beginnen mit ein paar einführenden Worten des angeblichen Moderators, danach gibt es eine Rede des angeblichen IDSAEK-Gründers Michael Fischer. Eine angebliche Angestellte der amerikanischen Botschaft sagt ein paar Worte. Der Moderator des Abends (links) und der angebliche ISDAEK-Gründer Michael Fischer. Hanna Lippmann / CC BY-SA 3.0 DE Christian Stuve von ThyssenKrupp sitzt währenddessen die ganze Zeit eher zurückgezogen in einer Ecke des Raumes, meidet die aufgebauten Kameras, beäugt die Veranstaltung mit skeptischem Blick, telefoniert kurz. Es läuft das letzte Lied. Kurz bevor der Preis an ThyssenKrupp überreicht werden soll, steht Stuve auf, greift sich seine Jacke und geht. Das Ganze dauert keine zehn Sekunden. Die Aktivisten und Schauspieler sind zu überrascht, um zu reagieren. Einer läuft ihm noch hinterher, springt mit in den Fahrstuhl, versucht ihn umzustimmen. Doch bei Stuve ist die Stimmung umgeschlagen, er flüchtet geradezu, wie der Aktivist hinterher erzählt, wehrt weitere Fragen ab und verlässt das Intercontinental. Eine weiße Taube fliegt durch den Raum Es dauert ein paar Momente, bis allen klar wird, was hier gerade passiert ist. Den Preis übergibt der Moderator trotzdem, in Abwesenheit. Die Show läuft noch ein paar Minuten weiter, die Schauspieler spielen für sich selbst. Sie lassen noch eine weiße Taube durch den Raum fliegen. Dann bricht die Anspannung zusammen. Hanna Lippmann / CC BY-SA 3.0 DE Die Peng-Aktivisten fallen sich in die Arme, in einer Mischung aus Trotz und Enttäuschung. Sie feiern sich, den Augenblick und ihre Waghalsigkeit – und fragen sich gleichzeitig, was schief gelaufen ist. Stundenlang, bis nach vier Uhr morgens, diskutieren die Aktivisten und Schauspieler in einer Bar über den so knapp verpassten Knall. "Wir haben die Kontrolle über die Situation verloren und waren nicht flexibel genug", sagen Philipp und Lia, zwei der Peng-Aktivisten, am Morgen danach. "Dermaßen viel Geld und Zeit und Risiko in eine Aktion zu stecken, deren Ausgang völlig unsicher ist, das wurde vermutlich noch nie gemacht", sagen die Aktivisten – und sind mit ihrer Aktion doch zufrieden. "Wir haben gesagt: Wir probieren das jetzt und scheiß drauf. Wir haben keinen Ruf zu verlieren und müssen keine Produktionszyklen füllen." Signal an andere Aktivisten: Mehr Mut Ihren aufwändigen und teuren Versuch, die Waffenindustrie ans Licht zu zerren, sehen die Peng-Aktivisten auch als ein Signal an die Friedensbewegung. "Wir wollten nicht nur Blut vor dem Tor von Heckler & Koch verspritzen. Stattdessen haben wir es mit unserer Aktion geschafft, dass sich Aktivismus und Industrie berühren." Wenn die Aktion dazu beigetragen habe, dass sich die Industrie in Zukunft noch seltener traut, auf solchen Veranstaltungen zu erscheinen, wenn wegen dieser Aktion Einladungen zu ähnlichen Veranstaltungen abgesagt werden, "wenn wir dazu beigetragen haben, dass die Industrie jetzt davor zurückschreckt, ihr Verhalten weiter zu normalisieren, dann war das ein Erfolg", sagen die Aktivisten. Zumal die Peng-Aktivsten auf ihren falschen Friedenspreis in den vergangenen Tagen noch zwei weiteren Aktionen draufsetzten. Nur fünf Tage später, am 2. Mai, veröffentlichten die Aktivisten eine gefälschte Kampagne der CDU-Basis gegen Kleinwaffenexporte. Sie erfanden einen CDU-Ortsverband, veröffentlichten eine eigene Webseite und ein trashiges Video, verschickten E-Mails und Facebook-Beiträge. Und sie sammelten mit einer Petition mehr als 1300 Unterschriften gegen Kleinwaffenexporte. (BuzzFeed News berichtete, auch andere Medien wie die Tagesschau, die taz, die Berliner-Zeitung oder das ZDF-Morgenmagazin berichteten im Anschluss.)

Peng verschickte einen Brief an Hunderte amerikanische Zwischenhändler von Heckler & Koch – und kündigte eine Rückrufaktion für alle Kleinwaffen in den USA an. "Wegen des Anstieges von Todesfällen durch Kleinwaffen und in Verbindung mit der Gefahr von anhaltenden Unruhen sowie einer extrem wechselhaften Außenpolitik der Regierung von President Donald Trump stuft der deutsche Mutterkonzern die USA nicht länger als sicheres Exportland für Waffen ein." Die Händler sollten zurückmelden, wie viele Waffen sie verkauft haben, damit die Rückrufaktion vorbereitet werden kann. https://www.buzzfeed.com/danieldrepper/aktivisten-peng-schauspiel-dortmund-trollen?utm_term=4ldqpia&utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=tumblr
