It's WoAh Woah season in the Blue Salon! The first part of the legendary book adaptation tells the story of 17-year-old Isabella “Bella” Swan, who has always been different from other girls. When her mother remarries, she moves in with her father Charlie in the small and rainy town of Forks. Her expectations for her new life are low in what she believes will be a boring and strange new environment. But when she meets the mysterious and handsome Edward Cullen, everything changes. An immediate and strong attraction develops between the two. But something is wrong with Edward. He is different. Too fast. Too strong. And far too mysterious. Bella enters a new world full of unknown creatures and rules. She must choose between love and safety.

Supporting Film: Zwei nach eins

Director: Nils Menrad | Germany 2003 | 7 min | SD Video | German Original Version

Every weekend, Lilja parties in clubs and discos until the early hours of the morning. She seems to feel right at home in the dazzling nightlife. One night, the impossible becomes reality. For a brief moment, Lilja encounters her mirror image from another world: Tom. It's an old story, but it never gets old, and whoever experiences it has their eardrums bursting! Nils Menrad's short film about a night of intoxication in many ways in Karlsruhe's party heaven could also have been an expression of his secret desire to finally produce techno music videos for VIVA or MTV. If we were the bosses of VIVA or MTV, we would buy his clips!

We are delighted that Nils Menrad will be present in person on this evening. He will give a brief introduction to his film and say a few words about it.
