Starting in the third week of July, our Kafka-Noodle-Location at Oderberger Str. 14, 10435 Berlin, will host the "Busanbusi" Film Festival, featuring six films. The term "Busanbusi" translates to 'neither three nor four', a concept from the I Ching where each hexagram is divided into six lines 爻 ( yáo ). They represent the six stages of the development of things. The third and fourth lines are in the middle between the sixth line and symbolize the correct and great paths. But "Busanbusi" implies a deviation and disorder. So, what caused such disorder or deviation?
The "Busanbusi" Film Festival will feature films that tread paths of disorder and deviation. These films are an exploration of "disorder" and "deviation" both in their themes and through the filmic language they employ. The films that deviate from the norm, along with the festival's setting in a noodle bar or as part of a theatre project, constitute a deviation from the typical format of a film festival.

The film unfolds in the form of a theatrical conversation and photo shoot, showcasing the self-analysis of a young woman. Her body, gaze, and words fill the entire space, depicting the ambiguous relationships between strangers, teetering on the edge of trust. The work reflects the mental state of contemporary young people and their longing for an uncertain future.
Der Film entfaltet sich in Form eines Theatergesprächs und Fotoshootings und zeigt die Selbstanalyse einer jungen Frau. Ihr Körper, ihre Blicke und ihre Worte füllen den gesamten Raum und zeichnen die verschwommenen Beziehungen zwischen Fremden, die an der Grenze des Vertrauens balancieren. Das Werk reflektiert den Geisteszustand der heutigen Jugend und ihre Sehnsucht nach einer ungewissen Zukunft.
