Aysun Bademsoy – Game Changer, part 3: Ich gehe jetzt rein


(kleines BALi, KulturBahnhof Kassel)

Aysun Bademsoy’s observational documentaries open up very special perspectives. With her keen sense for people and situations, she establishes a trusting relationship with her protagonists. The people talk about their lives and openly share insights into their emotional worlds.

The documents and testimonies of Turkish Women in Berlin, collected during her long-term observation (1995–2024), have received little attention to date. For the 30th anniversary of “Mädchen am Ball” (1995), all four films are now available in digital form, giving us the opportunity to take a closer look.

“Ich gehe jetzt rein” is the third part of a four-part series.

Ich gehe jetzt rein

Director Aysun Bademsoy continues her long-term documentary on the lives of five Turkish women in Berlin. Whereas 13 years ago, they were still optimistic and rebellious, their lifestyle is now more conformist. Together, they take a look back at the good old times and the difficult path that led them here. Despite all the frustrations and hardships, we can still feel how determined they are and see the sparkle in their eyes. Bademsoy shows life in all its ambivalence and grants us a close look into the lives of these women, as well as a direct glimpse of them into the camera.
