Between speed-dating and meditation courses, bondage and hammock, the neighbourhood playground and the old-architecture style shared at-plus-kitchen, she tries to make sense of the messages and ambiguities that lesbian Berliners seem to specialize in when communicating \u2013 in other words, mixed messages. Pointed and self-ironic, the series captures recurring patterns and curious rituals that need to be figured out on this scene, in this city, in this generation.<\/p>\n<p>\u00bbYou see one person go through the same experience over and over again, and if it was a feature film audiences would expect there to be some sort of narrative arc where the main character learns and achieves something. But that isn\u2019t what happens here. Ren almost always finds herself back to square one, because that\u2019s the experience me and my friends often felt we had. So I think that fits an episodic, almost sitcom format, as it was the nature of the material. I never considered making a web series before as I consider myself to be a film-maker and wanted to make a second feature. But I felt this format suited the circular nature of the material so much more.\u00ab<br \/>\n\u2013 Kanchi Wichmann on <em>www.exberliner.com<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":9274,"template":"","movie_year":[24],"movie_genre":[334],"movie_cat":[282],"festival":[306],"class_list":["post-7963","movie","type-movie","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","movie_year-24","movie_genre-web-series-en","movie_cat-desired-film-lust-queer-en-2018","festival-2018-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Mixed Messages - Internationales Frauen Film Fest<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/frauenfilmfest.com\/en\/movie\/mixed-messages\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Mixed Messages - Internationales Frauen Film Fest\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Kanchi Wichmann\u2019s lesbian web series Mixed Messages centres around 36-year-old dyke Ren, newly arrived in Berlin from London and now [...]\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/frauenfilmfest.com\/en\/movie\/mixed-messages\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Internationales Frauen Film Fest\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/IFFF.Dortmund.Koeln\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2022-08-22T14:13:27+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/frauenfilmfest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/IFFF2018_MixedMessages_16-9_website.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1080\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"608\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@frauenfilmfest\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/frauenfilmfest.com\\\/en\\\/movie\\\/mixed-messages\\\/\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/frauenfilmfest.com\\\/en\\\/movie\\\/mixed-messages\\\/\",\"name\":\"Mixed Messages - Internationales Frauen Film Fest\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/frauenfilmfest.com\\\/#website\"},\"primaryImageOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/frauenfilmfest.com\\\/en\\\/movie\\\/mixed-messages\\\/#primaryimage\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/frauenfilmfest.com\\\/en\\\/movie\\\/mixed-messages\\\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/frauenfilmfest.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2021\\\/11\\\/IFFF2018_MixedMessages_16-9_website.jpg\",\"datePublished\":\"2021-11-22T19:01:46+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2022-08-22T14:13:27+00:00\",\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/frauenfilmfest.com\\\/en\\\/movie\\\/mixed-messages\\\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\\\/\\\/frauenfilmfest.com\\\/en\\\/movie\\\/mixed-messages\\\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/frauenfilmfest.com\\\/en\\\/movie\\\/mixed-messages\\\/#primaryimage\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/frauenfilmfest.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2021\\\/11\\\/IFFF2018_MixedMessages_16-9_website.jpg\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/frauenfilmfest.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2021\\\/11\\\/IFFF2018_MixedMessages_16-9_website.jpg\",\"width\":1080,\"height\":608,\"caption\":\"Film still from Mixed Messages.
