Uiteraard zijn de activiteiten dit jaar aangepast aan de veiligheidsmaatregelen en bestaat ook de mogelijkheid om online films te bekijken.

Ein Fisch, der auf dem Rücken schwimmt | Eliza Petkova | Germany 2020
Met aanwezigheid van Eliza Petkova
"Andrea, a woman without a past, is the object of both Philipp's and his son's desire. A love triangle filled with expectations, longing and fears leaves open the speculation of who knows what about whom." – Cineuropa

Pelican Blood | Katrin Gebbe | Germany 2019
"German helmer Katrin Gebbe brings a distinctly female perspective to a dark tale of a woman - [a horse trainer played by Nina Hoss] - going to extreme lengths to help her troubled adopted daughter. (...) An ambitious mix of social-realist drama, animal story, and elements from the horror, thriller and supernatural playbook." - The Hollywood Reporter

Ich war zuhause, aber… | Angela Schanelec | Germany 2019
"Maren Eggert stars [as] a widowed mother whose young son runs away from home and lives in the wild for a week. A stylized, cubist portrait of a mini-family in severe crisis, writer-director-editor Angela Schanelec's Ich war zuhause, aber ... is a complex, challenging but brilliant work." - The Hollywood Reporter

Und morgen die ganze Welt | Julia von Heinz | Germany 2020
Met aanwezigheid van Noah Saavedra
"As Germany is struck by a series of racially motivated terror attacks, 20-year-old Luisa joins a subdivision of the Antifa to fight against the resurgent neo-Nazi movement. Secretly in love with a fellow activist, she sets out to impress him with a series of reckless actions." - Screen

Die Blechtrommel | Volker Schlöndorff | West Germany 1979
"German history is seen from the subjective point of view of a child who, through the force of his own will, refuses to grow up. He views the rise of the Nazi movement mixed with the bizarre and grotesque. One of the New German Cinema's greatest successes." - Mark Adams

Deutschland im Herbst | Fassbinder, Kluge, Reitz, Schlöndorff, Brustellin, Mainka, Rupé, Cloos, Sinkel | West Germany 1978
"Made in response to the terrorist kidnapping of German industrialist Hanns-Martin Schleyer in 1977, this compilation film marks attitudes ranging from concern to irony to despair among its eight directors. R.W. Fassbinder's section is perhaps the best, in part because it's the most personal - an extended discussion between Fassbinder and his oblivious lover." - Chicago Reader
