New series in our #artbits-blog! Flower Power

The strength of flowers is their beauty, resilience and transformative nature. Flowers lift spirits, convey emotions and bring joy to those who encounter them. The power of the flower lies in its ability to touch people, inspire them and remind them of the interconnectedness of all living beings.

Subjects and Projects

Monthly film series now at the Cinémathèque québécoise
ACHTUNG FILM !

Beginning in September 2023, the Cinémathèque québécoise (335 De Maisonneuve Blvd. East, H2X 1K1) will showcase the richness and diversity of contemporary German cinema once a month with feature films, documentaries, bold and entertaining productions by established and emerging directors.

AUTUMN/WINTER 2023: MYTHS & MUSIC
This autumn's program highlights music and myths, as well as legendary operas. The films presented are distinguished by their soundtracks, which give these works a driving force, an individual and atmospheric rhythm, and become, through this conceptual quality, tools for creating images and imaginations.

(Hi)stories of a medium
Radio Around The World

One hundred years ago, in October 1923, the very first German radio station went on the air in Berlin. On this occasion, we celebrate radio, in retrospectives and personal radio memoirs by international artists and authors!

In 2023, the Goethe-Institut, together with its local partners Milieux, Hexagram and Eastern Bloc, invited young scientists and artists to submit creative project proposals with the humanoid NAO robot. A Montreal-based art and research collective, consisting of Patil Tchilinguirian, Ceyda Yolgörmez and Zeph Thibodeau, was awarded the project.
