Where is the key to the Blue Salon? For almost two years we were no longer in it - forced break thanks to renovation. But now it's starting again, there is cinema in the Blauer Salon again. We are very much looking forward to finally watching movies together with people again and talking shop over a cool drink! Who will be there?

Early for the start of spring, in anticipation of the 30th anniversary of the HfG and for all those who do not know what to do in the lecture-free period: The new edition of the HfG Videothek. 30 new films about fun, seriousness, knowledge and art. We hope there is something for everyone!

For Christmas, our streaming offer again includes over 30 new and old films by students and teachers. A colorful potpourri of documentary, experimental, feature films, short, long, colorful, black and white, funny, sad, there should be something for everyone. We wish you all a Merry Christmas, a Happy New Year and Happy Streaming!

Cinema in the atrium of the HfG! The duo saiLento, consisting of pianist Reiko Emura and percussionist Shinichi Minami, will provide the musical accompaniment to the silent film A Page of Madness (1926) by Teinosuke Kinugasa. Supporting film: Hands: The Life and Love of a Tender Sex (1928) by Stella F. Simon. The themed evening will be accompanied by pieces by Wolfgang Rihm, Toru Takemitsu, Robert Schumann and Tom Johnson.

In October, we will represent the HfG at the city festival with an open-air cinema on Kronenplatz. On two evenings, cinema films on the future topics of AI and science fiction will be shown on Kronenplatz. In addition, there will be accompanying lectures and film discussions that attempt to build a bridge between the fiction shown and the present in which these films are set.

It was a ride out of the frying pan and into the fire: we didn't think anything bad about it, we made a small open air cinema in June after the Corona Downer, but either we were too lazy to clean up the stuff, or we couldn't get enough of it. Either way, the result: non-stop open-air cinema in front of the HfG from June to the end of August!

The Open Air Cinema in front of the HfG Karlsruhe has been extended again!!! 4 dates in August with juicy grass, tasty drinks, crunchy snacks and unannounced films: Kult Sneak in front of the HfG, we are looking forward to you! As always in analog cinema format with 35mm prints and 16mm silent film pre-show, set to music by HfG students and alumni.

Our dear cinema collaborator Jason Stewart celebrates with an impressive 35mm installation and his graduation film "This Is Not the End" about the Kino-im-Blauen-Salon project after a long back and forth finally diploma - congratulations Jason! At the Kamuna on August 7th you can see the installation again. From 18-24 clock in the large studio of the HfG Karlsruhe.

On June 16 and 17 we will play two films from our archive as part of the HfG Open Air Cinema. With cult cinema, DJ and bar from the AStA we celebrate the reawakening of cinema, the HfG and last but not least the good old get together after two very hard years.

We're opening this website fresh with a bang: the Film.Forum Film Festival, which will take place on March 5 in the virtual Blue Salon. It's one of those online festivals, but it's going to be fun, there are super cool films involved and the super cool people who made them. Be there!
