The next Culture Monday in the Pöckinger Beccult is dedicated to film art.
The screenwriter and filmmaker Lukas März shows short films, some of which were shot in the region.
Pöcking – Short films are an art all their own: telling a captivating story in ten to 30 minutes is a challenge.
Lukas März (30) is bringing this variety of film art to the Beccult in Pöcking next Monday, March 18th.
As part of Culture Monday, from 7 p.m. he will show six short films, four shorter and three longer, including one by himself.
The concept of Culture Monday - free use of the Beccult with free admission based on donations - fits a bit with the films that Lukas März will show.
They are practice or graduation films by students at the University of Film and Television (HSFF) in Munich, and the directors and producers bring amazing things to the screen with limited resources.
The audience gets an insight into the young film art.
And perhaps a different view of home, because all the films come from filmmakers from the region or were made there.
März, who also studied at the HSFF and now lives in Munich as a freelance screenwriter, selected six films, four shorter and two longer.
He wants to show them in two blocks, always two shorter pieces together with a longer piece.
Let's start with a comedy.
“Turn Out the Light” by Marc Philip Ginolas and Marius Beck is about a young man who takes a girl home for the first time and tries to keep the lady's visit a secret from his parents.
The short western “Somewhere in Kansas, 1984” was filmed in Pöcking in 2018 by Karla Cristobàl, who comes from Percha, says Lukas März.
“Sleep a Song” is a very local short film: The author and director Pirmin Sedlmeir grew up in Ammerland and dedicates his ten-minute film to the legend of the Lindworm in Lake Starnberg.
“This is an exercise documentation for the university that he made with a fisherman friend,” says März.
Sedlmeir was already successful as an actor when he decided to study screenwriting.

The fourth, shorter short film is by Lukas März himself. With “The Telephone Booth” from 2022, he has already been to various film festivals, as he says.
“In Palm Springs, at the Hof Film Festival and now in Poland.” It is an absurd comedy in which a surprise party has to take place in a telephone booth, he reports.
The two longer, short films deal with two topics that are extremely current.
“Angelique” by Elisabeth Schieber describes the story of the hairdresser Angelique Nagel.
“She was one of the first trans people to have gender reassignment surgery in Bavaria,” reports März.
The half-hour portrait of the woman, who is now in her mid-70s, can definitely be considered a homeland film.
Angelique Nagel grew up in Moosburg and still lives there today.
“She even got married as a Catholic – back then nobody was interested in that,” says Lukas März.
The film shows the extraordinary and at the same time down-to-earth life of the elegant woman from Moosburg and won the City of Hof Short Film Prize in 2022.
The 29-minute-long film “Ungeheuerhof – Chronicles and Moods in the Country” from 2023 deals with the hardships of a farmer. Gretel Ribka and Jonas Riedinger give an insight into the life of a Swabian farmer who is heavily burdened: “Because of climate change and because he has a child in the psychiatric ward,” says Lukas März.
This is doubly stressful because the farmer wants his son to continue running the farm.
The film will also be shown at the Munich Kammerspiele on the same evening.
