Tsakalas Blues

• Screening of the film ‘Tsakalos Blues’ by Yara Haskiel (Greek Subtitles)

“We have never talked about this topic. It always remained a taboo. What had happened in the concentration camps never really interested me. That was none of my problems.“ Gabriel Haskiel

Tsakalos Blues is a film about Yara Haskiel’s Jewish-Greek German family history. It is told from the perspective of a 3rd generation being born and raised in Germany after the Shoah. In conversations with her father, Gabriel, Yara is trying to understand what it meant to grow up in post-war Germany as a stateless person. How is this unarticulated experience subjectified and mediated between our generations?

The film develops along years of conversations between Gabriel and Yara. Together they revisited places closely linked to their family history: Munich, Salonica, Haifa and Eilat. Tsakalos Blues tries to render visible the different experiences and modalities of speech that are reflected in our hybrid and contradicting identity constructions and that remain invisible and insignificant within the hegemonic discourses on history.

Yara Haskiel (born 1982) is a visual artist and researcher. She studied experimental film, fine arts and media, and graduated at the University of Arts Berlin. Her works explores the relation between memory and socio-political issues, through the auto-biographical and micro-political perspective. Her video-essays with documentary elements question the notion of identity and modes of belonging. The first series of video-essays evolves around the problem of self-positioning in relation to the precarious life conditions, affecting and pervading also our love stories and friendships.
