    FILM-ONLINE - Friday, 30.04.2021 at 07:00 pm. (IST)RELATIVITY - "MY END IS YOUR BEGINNING."

    "My end is your beginning." In quantum physics, time can be reversed using any particular formula, but it always stays the same: “time translation symmetry” implies that the past and the future have the same influence on the present. It is this abstract idea which the German filmmaker Mariko Minoguchi transposes into the structure of her first feature film, Relativity.

    Graphic Travelogues

    In other words, whoever travels can tell something. Spoken, photographed or drawn. Graphic Travelogues are dedicated to this form. Various travel comics already exist, often initiated by the Goethe-Institut - but scattered, sometimes difficult to find.

    Doku Forum Online - Wednesday, 21. April 2021 at 06:30 p.m. (IST)OF FATHERS AND SONS

    Talal Derki returns to his homeland where he gained the trust of a radical Islamist family, sharing their daily life for over two years.  His camera focuses mainly on the children, providing an extremely rare insight into what it means to grow up with a father whose only dream is to establish an Islamic Caliphate.

For Seekers of Meaning
Travel Sketches from Sri Lanka

Reinhard Kleist’s strokes carry authority. His art lies in omitting; often also in expanding, curving, wearing away, keeping it rough. He shows temples, shrines, a bar or bakery, street scenes, bicycles, a naked light bulb illuminating a Buddha. Is this Sri Lanka, 2017?

Photo Project
`Photographic journal of a roadtrip`

Sri Lankan photographers submitted their best shots on protecting our environment, climate change and motives that move us humans to interact responsibly with our environment.

Science Film Festival 2021

The Science Film Festival is open to submissions annually from
Mid-January until late March.

There are no submissions fees, but the festival principally also does not pay for licensing fees due to the educational non-commercial nature of screenings and in light of the translation and synchronization/subtitling costs to process the films where applicable, which are carried by the Science Film Festival.
