KINO! Film Salon is a monthly online film club to discuss German film!
 
How it works: Each month we’ll choose a German film or series currently available to stream, watch it independently, and come together for a hosted conversation with other fans of German film.
 
Film: Transit by Christian Petzold, which is available to stream in the U.S. on platforms including Mubi and Prime Video
 
Set in 1942, Transit follows Georg, a German refugee in Nazi-occupied France, who is desperately looking for an escape. One day, in an act of necessity, he assumes the identity of the dead writer whose transit papers he is carrying. Shortly thereafter, he meets Marie, a mysterious woman searching for her husband—the man whose identity he has stolen.
