Open Air at Kronenplatz
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.
Review Open Air Cinema 2021
Read moreIt 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!
Open Air Kino: August Edition
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.
Cinema Installation for KAMUNA
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.
Open Air Cinema 2021
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.
Film.Forum Film Festival
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!
New Screen for the Salon!
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!
Open Air Cinema at Summer Show
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!
