Finally, the Blaue Salon gets a new screen! The old, if you'll pardon the pun, somewhat puny 16 to 9 frame screen is retiring after nearly 20 years and we welcome a new 6 meter Cinemascope screen. A warm welcome!
The Blaue Salon is small but nice. It's nice that there's a large meadow in front of the HfG, where you can air out. That's what the AStA thinks every year, and so the supporting program of the annual exhibition, the Summer Show, always takes place on this lawn in mid-July. We contribute two films to this program, the first open air cinema in front of the HfG!
Together with the Institut Français and the Centre Culturel Franco-Allemand Karlsruhe we show in this film series, as perhaps the names of the institutions already reveal, cinema from France! There are always new films to choose from in a catalog and it's a bit like going to the video store in the past. Only in a French one.
