Goethe-Cinema in Ottawa
Film series | Topic: Time Phenomena
Goethe-Cinema, the Goethe-Institut Ottawa’s monthly film series, has moved to University of Ottawa (Hamelin Hall, 70 Av. Laurier East)!
The focus of the thematic series remains German cinema in all its diversity and richness, from fiction to documentary, offering a good balance of entertaining and challenging films, presenting some of the so-called classics, as well as surprising works, from established and emerging filmmakers.

We are looking forward to seeing you at our Goethe-Cinema screenings!
The films presented in this series all deal with some time phenomenon - be it Maggie Peren's Hello Again - A Wedding Day - a contemporary interpretation of the time loop phenomenon, reminding of the very famous 1980ies comedy Groundhog Day by Harold Ramis - or the imaginative Cleo in Eric Schmitt's film of the same name, who seems to be able to travel back in time and meet some famous Berliners, like Marlene Dietrich.
In Relativity time seems to fold onto itself, with dramatic consequences for the newly in love couple, Nora and Aron. In Angela Schanelecs The Dreamed Path the passing of decades seems to change everything and at the same time nothing in the lives of its protagonists, Kenneth and Theres.

This autumn will be all about TIME PHENOMENA:
Have you ever had a déjà vu experience? Have you ever met someone you think you already know? Or have you ever experienced how the hands of the clock seem to be motionless when you are waiting for something, or - quite the opposite - how several hours can feel like a few minutes when you are lost in the moment?The films presented in this series all deal with some time phenomenon - be it Maggie Peren's Hello Again - A Wedding Day - a contemporary interpretation of the time loop phenomenon, reminding of the very famous 1980ies comedy Groundhog Day by Harold Ramis - or the imaginative Cleo in Eric Schmitt's film of the same name, who seems to be able to travel back in time and meet some famous Berliners, like Marlene Dietrich.
