As the movie season draws to a close, occasional film festivals and screenings are popping up to offer unexpected treats to movie enthusiasts. Istanbul Modern Cinema and the Goethe-Institute Istanbul are collaborating for a mini-festival of recent, award-winning German films. The selection of 10 films will be screened under the title Till Death Do Us Part and will run June 9-19. Here is a look at five of the award winners from new directors, with offerings running the gamut from bizarre coming-of-age tales to heartbreaking love stories and chilling mysteries. The festival will open on June 9 with Sophie Heldman’s debut feature Satte Farben vor Schwarz (Colors in the Dark). The film, which wowed audiences and critics at last year’s San Sebastian International Film Festival, stars Bruno Ganz and Anita Berger as a couple in their 70s who have been together for half a century. The film, following the final days of Fred’s life as the couple try to deal with his terminal illness, takes a uniquely fresh approach to the themes of love and death.
