Especially now, when Germany become a magnet for war refugees, it is important to remind of these scars. The dumb stones are suddenly loud and burst into an apparently peaceful daily life in Berlin, late summer of the year 2015.  Still existing Second World War scares in the streets of Berlin were filmed. Then the bullet holes were digitally repaired and prefixed to the video. An adjusted war sound of explosions and machine guns let the scene become realistic. Now the astonished looks of tourists and pedestrians have the dimension of a short flashback. History and presence happened simultaneously.   Filmography: War Scarred Berlin, 2015 Blackout, 2009 BONNE ROUTE, BONNE CHASSE, BON APPÉTIT, 2008 DIE MISSGLÜCKTE JUGENDZEIT, 2006 GATEWAY TO HEAVEN   Festivals and Awards:    LOS ANGELES CINEFEST, USA, 2016    DSOFF, Westland/Michigan, USA, 2016    MINI MOVIE FEST, Santa Monica, USA, 2016    6th PUNE SHORT FILM FESTIVAL, Maharashtra, Indien, 2016                               ]]> International Competition–30 Wed, 02 Nov 2016 09:45:08 GMT http://old.irandocfest.ir/en/news/1861/war-scarred-berlin http://old.irandocfest.ir/en/news/1860/the-tremor Director: Oscar Vincentelli Screenplay: Oscar Vincentelli Cinematographer: Sara Gallego Editor: Marco Barada Producer: Oscar Vincentelli, Pere Capotillo Distribution/Sales: OFF ECAM, mail@ismaelmartin.com   Synopsis:   In a coal mine in Spain, our gaze focuses on the hypnotic cadence of work revealing the continous movement of the machinery devouring workers: the very last gestures of the mythical mining labor slowly disappearing.
