Signature Film and FocusTalk
mit Maria Nikolaidou-Murböck (KHJT Harthof) und Dr. Barbara Loth (ehem. Leitung Haus 4, Jugendstrafanstalt Berlin)
Im Anschluss an die Vorführung am 10. Mai im Neuen Maxim laden wir zu einem FokusTalk ein: Gemeinsam mit Maria Nikolaidou-Murböck und Dr. Barbara Loth spricht Filmemacherin und DOK-fest-Moderatorin Ysabel Fantou über die Frage, wie Veränderung bei jugendlichen Straftätern gelingen kann und welche Rolle Therapie, Beziehung und pädagogische Arbeit dabei spielen. Zwischen Einblicken aus dem Strafvollzug und Perspektiven der offenen Jugendarbeit richtet das Gespräch den Blick auch auf Prävention, strukturelle Bedingungen und gesellschaftliche Verantwortung.
HAUS 4
Deutschland 2026 – Director: Philipp Schaeffer – Original language: German – Subtitles: English – Length: 70 min.
How closely are we willing to look when it comes to a subject as painful as it is disturbing: juveniles as perpetrators of violence? For a year, the filmmaker followed young offenders in the correctional system—during their training, in their free time, and in their therapy sessions. An intimate portrait and a powerful plea to not look away. J.S.
With age rating: 12 (Reasoning based on content: Violence, violent language)
We recommend this film for teens aged 14 years and over.
