The “One Hour With…” programme run by the Goethe-Institut offers an opportunity to engage in discussion with figures from the worlds of culture, science, and society. This new series of events brings together people from Germany, France, and across Europe around shared themes. FIDMarseille is partnering with two events in this programme: a film screening and a debate.

Presented in the International Competition at the most recent edition of the festival, FIDMarseille and the Goethe-Institut, in collaboration with the Artists in Exil Workshop, are hosting a special screening of Conference of the Birds by Amin Motallebzadeh. The screening will be followed by a discussion between the filmmaker and two artists from the AAE: Egor Shevchenko and Daria Yurishcheva.
CONFERENCE OF THE BIRDS
Amin Motallebzadeh
Germany, 2025, Colour, 79’
Following the death of the coach of a professional football club, events come to a head and the world seems to fall apart around the team. Latent sadness, orderly crisis, slow-motion fall.
Debate: Is football a work of art?
Artistic creation between sporting practice and social perspective

FIDMarseille
Football: for some, a secondary concern; for others, a true passion. Yet football is also a space for social negotiation, solidarity, and empowerment. Yaël Kempf and Amin Motallebzadeh share their artistic and personal approaches to the sport. The lyrical and spiritual tones of Conference of the Birds by Motallebzadeh intertwine here with the lived experiences of Kempf within a women’s football team in Marseille.
