Stigma
(26 min mit anschließender Diskussion)
Ein Tonstudio. Zwei Notenständer. Zwei Mikrofone. Zwei
Männer. Der eine fragt: „Wann hast du deine Neigung
entdeckt?“ Der ältere antwortet: Direkt. Offen. Scho-
nungslos. Er ist pädophil. Fühlt sich sexuell zu jungen
Mädchen hingezogen. Jahrelang hat er gehofft, dass das
wieder weggeht. Aber es ging nicht weg. Er hat eine The-
rapie gemacht und gelernt, seine Neigung zu kontrollie-
ren. Er kämpft, will ein guter Mensch sein. Doch er muss
damit leben, was er seiner Tochter angetan hat.

Break out into art – The cell of Julius Klingebiel/
Ausbruch in die Kunst – Die Zelle des Julius Klingebiel
(45 min subtitled in English followed by a discussion)
The history of the locksmith Julius Klingebiel comes
alive in a thrilling documentary. His fate as a psychiat-
ric patient took him from being arrested by the police
and held in psychiatric custody to being consigned for
years to a mental asylum. He started to draw in 1951 in
the Göttingen “Verwahrungshaus” (safe-keeping house)
and by 1961 he had completely filled the walls of his
cell with paintings. The author Antje Schmidt depicts his
life, suffering and artistic liberation in a moving, scenic
documentation.
