It's hard to believe that after several dozen years, it's actually goodbye, Ludger! Ludger Pfanz, a member of staff at the HfG since the 5th year after its foundation, is looking forward to retirement and as a farewell we will watch the short film of his filmmaking career together again, which in a way went down in history as the initial HfG project, in the sense that many members of the HfG, from students to the janitor to the secretariat, were involved in the production.
The time has finally come: after a long period of thinking back and forth, poring over Excel spreadsheets and reviewing trailers, our programme team has now agreed on a great new programme for the cinema winter 24/25 in the Blauer Salon!
Almost exactly a month ago, another great open-air cinema came to an end for us. Before we start the summer break, we would like to share the best moments and stories from this year's edition with you in this short review!
What would the Open Air Cinema be without our DJs? For the first time, the heroes behind the turntables are honored in a short video! They have been creating the right atmosphere at Open Air Kino for many years now.
Last Friday, May 24, incredible scenes unfolded in the Blaue Salon at the Karlsruhe University of Arts and Design. Naively initiating a musical evening as student cinema operators, we were somewhat overwhelmed by the rush of audience and enthusiastic musicians...
Save the Date: OPEN AIR CINEMA in front of the HfG from June 20 - 24, 2024 This year we will once again storm out onto the green meadow and indulge in the balmy June nights at the HfG Open Air Cinema. We thank the open-air cinema god that he exists and invite you to 5 days of festival atmosphere with music, short films, drinks and some of the most beautiful things (films) that the seventh art has produced in the last 100 years.
After long program meetings, the new film program for the summer semester is now available, just in time for the start of spring! Once again, we have collected, discussed and evaluated dozens of film suggestions...
Last Sunday, February 11, we said yes to each other. We were 12 friends and we founded an association that wants to promote more beautiful cinema experiences. Let's see what the local court and the tax office have to say :)
For the Open Day in the Hallenbau, the Blue Salon will be open all day! From 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. we will be showing a large crossover program of in-house short films!
We're looking forward to next week: there's almost a festival atmosphere in the Blauer Salon! First, UNCLE BOONMEE, a piece of "recent" film history, will be shown on Monday and then the projectors will be rattling away until Tuesday, when we will be hosting Dr. Thomas Helbig from Göthe University Frankfurt for a themed evening. It's all about trains in cinema, there are lots of train movies to see, including the new film by Peter Tscherkassky "Train Again". As always on 35mm.
