As Sepp Herberger said: After the Open Air is before the Open Air!
The 30th anniversary film festival was great, thanks to all who were there! We'll clean up briefly and then we'll see you again on the green lawn with the colorful chairs for the Open Air cult sneak nights starting July 29.
From July 12 - July 16, 2022, a film festival will be held to celebrate the 30th anniversary of our university by presenting a colorful selection of HfG films. Each day, a film from the Zeitbild Lab (2019-2022) will be shown, along with a selection of films from 30 years of HfG film history. In addition to the filmmakers, other guests will be present to tell us about 30 years of HfG.
We are very very much looking forward to the 30th anniversary of the HfG Film Festival. To increase the anticipation even more here is a trailer that shows a little bit in which direction it will go! Thanks for the trailer, Knut!
In collaboration with film professor Serpil Turhan, it has long been an affair of the heart to bring the work of Chantal Akerman to the people! We are very pleased to be able to show some of the Belgian filmmaker's films in the Blue Salon this semester.
From June 02 to 19, 2022, the graduation exhibition "Graduation Studio" will be held in the atriums of the HfG. In the Blue Salon there will be a show of diploma films on four dates.
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.
