Ticket sales for the 13th International FILM WITHOUT BORDERS Festival have begun. More than 25 selected feature films and documentaries offer the opportunity to explore the festival’s motto, ALLES MENSCH! (EVERYTHING HUMAN!). Filmmakers, scientists, and experts are once again invited to participate in the discussion rounds this year.
The program kicks off with the festival preview HANNAH ARENDT – DENKEN IST GEFÄHRLICH (Thinking is Dangerous) (Sept. 11, 5 p.m.). Can the work of the political philosopher help us understand the “human condition” in the 21st century? We will discuss these and other questions after the screening with Prof. Dr. Barbara Hahn, literary scholar and one of the main editors of Hannah Arendt’s works, and Anna Faroqhi, filmmaker and illustrator of the graphic novel Andersdenkerinnen – Annäherungen an Helene Nathan, Anna Seghers und Hannah Arendt (Dissenters – Approaches to Helene Nathan, Anna Seghers, and Hannah Arendt).
After a one-hour break, the opening day will continue at 8:15 p.m. with the touching drama 22 LANES and a film discussion with Laura Tonke.
The welcome speakers at the 13th FILM WITHOUT BORDERS festival are Sarah Duve-Schmid, managing director of the Medienboard Berlin-Brandenburg, Dr. Manja Schüle, Minister of Science, Research, and Culture of the State of Brandenburg, and Frank Steffen, district administrator of the Oder-Spree district.
