"Hamburg Lectures" at the Berlinale

Hanns-Georg Rodek was very impressed by Romuald Karmakar's film "Hamburg Lectures", which was shown at the Berlin Film Festival last weekend. Karmakar has actor Manfred Zapatka read a sermon by the Hamburg Islamist Mohammed Fazaz, who is serving a 30-year prison sentence in Morocco. "Using an old-fashioned approach, Karmakar's film performs one of the earliest tasks of cinema – namely to supply information that is otherwise not available. Cinema lost this function when the newsreels were discontinued around 1970, but Karmakar revives the tradition, because the transcript of the imam's sermon can otherwise only be viewed by the general public at the Federal Bureau of Criminal Investigation in Germany, and the translation from Arabic is a lot less accurate. By having the text read by an actor, he defuses it of some of the emotions which moved its author. We take more notice of the way the arguments are structured and the inner logic of its conclusions. What emerges is a structure of coherent ideas, rather than a random collection of provocative quotes. This doesn't make the intolerance in the text any less unacceptable, but the great mystery behind this burning fanaticism suddenly becomes comprehensible."
