German Film Field Trip

Mission Ulja Funk (2021)
When Ulja (12) is prevented from pursuing her passion, astronomy, she decides to take matters into her own hands. With a stolen hearse and a 13-year-old classmate as a driver, she makes her way across Eastern Europe to watch the impact of an asteroid. In doing so, she not only has to shake off her pursuers, but also her pragmatic view of friendship and family. Shown in German, with English subtitles.
REVIEWS
“Fresh, joyful, and never patronizing the complex, fearless protagonist, Mission Ulja Funk feels like one of those movies for which it feels the phrase ‘for the young and young at heart’ was invented.” —Alexandra Heller-Nicholas, AWFJ Women on Film
“The film has its spirited energy, well-attuned performances and a direction that offers a still refreshing take of the old road-movie film concept.” —Vassilis Kroustallis, Film Is A Fine Affair
