Apocalyptic Cinema 2021-22
Apocalyptic Cinema
In the winter semester we were able to win the Karlstorkino Heidelberg and the DFF - Deutsches Filminstitut & Filmmuseum on the occasion of their current special exhibition
Catastrophe. What comes after the end?
for the cooperation and continuation of our the film series Apocalyptic Cinema. Following the films, invited scholars will reflect on end-time narrative of the respective film either in German or English and afterwards we invite the audience to join the discussion in German and English.
