Refugees are often portrayed as a homogeneous mass with no stories of their own. The film “Pay” wants to change that and tells of the fate of a Ghanaian who comes to Germany. The actors Eugene Boateng and Prince Kuhlmann explain why the film is a social appeal.
Best feature film, audience award, best socially relevant film, award from the Ecumenical Jury – no film received as much awards and acclaim at this year’s Max Ophüls Film Festival as the Ghanaian-German production “Pay”. The actors Eugene Boateng and Prince Kuhlmann justify the success of the film with his special point of view: “We tell a story, consistently from the African, black perspective, a German-Ghanaian production […], tell a hero’s journey about a dark-skinned person, and these are all things that have simply never happened in Germany.” For much of the film, the actors were able to play Twi in the Ghanaian language, a whole new experience for their acting, as they say. But in order for the film not to remain an isolated case, a lot has to change in the entire industry. “There are far too few black people in the film industry who have anything to report”, said Eugene Boateng.
Why we need inflation
More than four percent inflation, this news startled many at the end of September. On closer inspection, this value is mainly due to expensive fuel and heating oil. Roland Lindenblatt from “Capital” says that the European Central Bank is aiming for inflation of two percent and not around zero. “That has to do with the fact that it wouldn’t be good if you could always afford more for the money. If you want to buy a bicycle, for example, it costs 1,000 euros, in a year then only 900. Then you save more and wait for it to get cheaper. But that would slow down the entire bicycle production. That’s why you always want inflation a little above zero.”
