Monthly Film Screening

6:30 PM Goethe-Institut / Max Mueller Bhavan Kolkata

Director: Florian Dietrich
2020, Colour, 96 minutes

When two heterosexual ghetto buddies suddenly have to marry in order to save one from deportation to Africa, the result is a comedy that is as biting of a film as it is a thoughtful look at migration politics and racist and sexist prejudices.

Florian Dietrich was born in Wiesbaden in 1986. After graduating from high school, he worked as an assistant director at the Wiesbaden State Theater and worked in media dramaturgy in Mainz from 2005 to 2007. From 2007 he took over directing at the German Film and Television Academy in Berlin and the University of Tel Aviv.

He presented his first short film GhettoLoveGrief in 2011 at the Berlin International Short Film Festival.


For age group 18 years and above.
