talks us through a raft of english words that get lost in translation someone in germany to switch. but 1st we start on a far away stage busy in the world's 2nd largest film market the 22nd shanghai international film festival is currently on until june 24th that's one of the biggest film festivals in asia. and although its main priority is to promote the development of the chinese film industry it does have an international panorama section that gives foreign directors a valuable exposure. for instance germany's stefan sic whose documentary the inner light is on the official program a gentle exploration of life for people with dementia 6 film which premiered here at the belly nala in february offers a poetic interpretation of a special state of being one that he hopes will reduce fears of dealing with a disease that affects nearly 10000000 people in your.

1st 1st film as a director stefan xix spent time observing the residents of an old age home in st garde patients with dementia go about their lives. who couldn't score with. the director says he wanted to capture the perspective of the residents themselves. no interviews in the film and no commentary instead we get lingering shots often several minutes long we're asked to imagine the inner life of people whose minds are lost to us. from the. who it was extremely important to me how we look at things for me it was about

experiencing things with the patients and not be told look here this is how you have to think about this and this is what you should feel. we are told but maybe can imagine that men for it for it's the main character in the film was once a carpenter. his body still remembers how to work a wood table with care and precision. so so so. so. so. the inner light is a quiet gentle that gives its subjects back a form of dignity. it finds humanity and even humor in lives with dementia.

you know. the 1st promise made. is always quite right. the. mind of sits. in the. council.

well this week in her wonderful musings on the idiosyncrasies of germans and life in germany my colleague rachel stuart is talking about english words that the germans use in correctly now there are quite a few of these that make us english speakers scratch our heads and don't be surprised or even shocked when you hear a word that would usually get bleeped in english television coverage curious now here goes with meet the germans. and the are all over the place in germany failed information point human resources that not everyone is happy about these linguistic invaders particularly if a perfectly good german already exists but surely even worse already more bizarre is the use of english words that even native english speakers were understand. here is an english word that the germans use wrongly. let's kick off

with the classic example. in english handy means useful in german this is a handy i mean you do hold it in your hand but by that logic this would be a handy and this would be a handy. this is a great one is a little bit morbid public viewing in jet lots of people gathering public space what something on the big 3 beautiful. public viewing in english visiting a dead person who's been laid out in a. flexible working is all the rage right now and that means not necessarily being in the office all the time while in india she would say i'm working from home the preferred expression in germany is a home office all about him home office and in the u.k. whom office means something different entirely government department what a reason they used to work. in english wellness means the state of being

well not exactly a word you hear in conversation very often but in german wellness is a very popular word it's a sort of catch all term for this bar for the experience. held offering wellness packages maybe even a particularly healthy wellness menu. the germans earl love a good shit storm not in the general english sense of a messy or unpleasant situation but in the very specific german sense of a social media backlash and a machall has even casually dropped this word on more than one occasion should storm much to the shock of the english language media. novels about one will be back soon with more english words the germans use wrongly be then. so here's a fun fact the word shitstorm has actually made it into the german equivalent of the oxford english dictionary and that would be the do and as soon as the word is

included there well it's frequent use in conversation is of course more than justified so hopefully we'll have no shitstorm over the fact that we've featured it here today. as if berlin didn't get enough flak for its never ending airport project which continues to defy completion more than 7 years after its originally planned opening and now we have a delay on the cultural front. is one of the city's most ambitious building projects as it involves the partial reconstruction of the former palace that belonged to the dynasty of prussian kings. it was built to house a series of museums that will focus on world cultures anthropology and ethnology and was supposed to open this fall but due to some technical issues it's been postponed until next spring. but even if the whole thing is still under construction it's just acquired its 1st object for display namely the giant metal

entrance door to a legendary techno club from post fall of the wall berlin and it's a door with a history as turbulent as that of the city itself. in the early ninety's berlin techno music meant nights that went on forever one club set the tone legendary world famous crystal the name which means vault in german was well chosen the dance floor was once the fault of that time department store. the door that once marked the entrance to berlin's tech no temple now has pride of place in this otherwise barren exhibition space organizers are doing their best to hype the importance of this metal portal. for us this store's what the bust of an effort teddy is for the egyptian museum might even use the words mona lisa to as i fill ins. to door also tells the story of berlin in the 1920 s. it sealed off the treasures of the vast time department store unlike cigar plots of

the time one of the most luxurious cathedrals and capitalism. when the nazis came to power they forced their times jewish owners to sell the store was barry and ised some of the family escaped into exile 3 were murdered at auschwitz. the store's owner of that time died in berlin in 1939 after decades of legal wrangling leave at a time descendants finally received compensation in 2017. for a younger generation however this story is a symbol of the new global germany that emerged following greenough occasion in 1990. 1 time to oh. it wasn't just east and west coming together it was also black and white there was this incredible inspiring energy coming from all these people coming together it changed the whole idea of for lives suddenly it wasn't the city of the berlin wall of the city the 3rd reich it was a joyful happy city was just it to my uncles on one side it's on the solution a.
