KINO! Film Salon is a monthly online film club to discuss German film.
 
How it works: Each month we 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.
 
In October we’ll talk about Maria Schrader’s acclaimed Netflix miniseries Unorthodox.
 
Esty, a 19-year-old Hasidic Jewish woman from Brooklyn, is unhappy with her arranged marriage. She runs away to Berlin, where her estranged mother lives, and tries to navigate a secular life. By order of their rabbi, her husband travels to Berlin to try to find his pregnant wife.
