German Cinema in the Crossroads
As part of the Year of German-American Friendship ("Wunderbar Together") we’re bringing German film to Kansas City. With our Pop Up Film Haus events we seek to bring together cinephiles, German speakers, and the uninitiated alike to discover German cinema through our curated selection of films. Each film will be shown with English subtitles and there will be an opportunity for discussion following each screening.
Goethe Pop Up Kansas City welcomes all to join us this week for a screening of Johannes Naber’s film
Age of Cannibals.
“A wonderfully written and performed grotesque, a deeply black comedy.” – Der Spiegel
Age of Cannibals
Germany 2013, 93 min
By: Johannes Naber
With: Sebastian Blomberg, Devid Striesow, Katharina Schüttler
Three successful business consultants tour the industrial centers of the world as front-line soldiers of global capitalism to enforce what has been deemed efficient elsewhere. A grotesque story that is both coolly remote and shrill.
This event is part of the
German Cinema in the Crossroads film series, an extension of the
Wunderbar: A Celebration of German Film project. From
Beloved Sisters to
A Coffee in Berlin and
Young Goethe in Love, from
The Blue Angel to
The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari – we are celebrating German-American friendship with our partner Kanopy by bringing 48 German films to your screens. Goethe-Instituts and Goethe Pop-Ups across the U.S. will take part in the celebration by showing films, organizing film festivals, and conducting discussions after screenings.
