uk premiere
In the evening the curtain finally opens for our UK premiere at the Prince Charles Cinema in London. The hall is filled with people of the lively kind - the Q&A session is accordingly lively and even after the screening there is still a lot of good feedback, nice encounters and good conversations. A wonderful evening!

article at BFI's sight & sound
Wow, an article in the BFI's "Sight & Sound" film magazine! The author was allowed to see all films from Sci-Fi London in advance and counts "Das letzte Land" among his three favourite films of the festival. A quote:
"Adem’s nostalgic desire to return to their predecessors’ provenance (the legendary ‘Earth’) fights Novak’s insistence that they should “go further and further and deeper” towards the destination whose maddening siren call evidently led to their predecessors’s downfall. It is an existential question – head back or move on – and The Final Land, which confines itself mostly to the spaceship, becomes more and more about these two lost souls’ inner space, as they go on a conflicted quest for freedom, home, escape and mother."

rivets on the poster - review
Our first american (and very positive) review has been published, by Mark Cole from Pennsylvania. An excerpt:
"The problem with any two-actor film is that the leads have to be able to carry the weight of the whole production on their shoulders — and Das letzte Land asks a lot of its two stars, who have to be raw and gritty; sweaty, filthy and unshaven; caught up in violent emotions and lost in moments of quiet wonder. Torben Föllmer and Milan Pesl are both clearly up to the task and bring a lot of life to two starkly defined characters we learn very little about.
And this reflects the admirable subtlety of Marcel’s writing: he avoids the screenwriting 101 error so many young filmmakers make when they force miles of overly complicated backstory on us. Instead, so much of this film is suggested and hinted at — or left for the audience to ponder. I particularly liked the way he defines his characters with two words, which in German carry a lot of deep, emotional meaning, 'Heimat' and 'Freiheit.'"
