The Goethe-Institut Cyprus continues its GoetheKino: Questions of her Own series with the screening of Lotte am Bauhaus, followed by a discussion with Evagoras Vanezis, art theorist, writer and curator, and Kyriaki Costa, artist, to create a meaningful link to the Cyprus context.

Weimar, 1921: The life of 20-year-old Lotte Brendel seems to be all mapped out: as a wife and mother at the side of a man who can continue her parent’s woodworking business. Not a very tempting idea for the unconventional and creative Lotte. But in her strict father’s opinion, her passion for drawing and painting and her craft skills must remain a hobby at best – she is not, after all, one of those crazy Bauhaus artists who have been causing a commotion in the bourgeois Weimar lately.

The films protagonist is fictional, but based on the artist Alma Siedhoff-Buscher.

Directed by: Gregor Schnitzler
