Film programmes:
Tue, 8 pm Thalia: Kick-off of the focus on trauma
The concept of trauma has become an integral part of our everyday language. These are individual and collective wounds that have not healed completely; they can cause pain and leave scars. In our special programmes, exemplary and innovative works are shown that expose, document or transform traces of trauma.
starting Tuesday: short film open air at the Neumarkt
The first open air in autumn - we are excited and hope the weather will be with us and you. On the programme are 95 productions from over 30 countries, offering a cross-section of global film art. High-resolution screen entertainment in HD is guaranteed by our sponsor pms Professional media service GmbH & Co. KG / With the kind support of the state capital Dresden and MDR / Festival partner Filmnächte am Elbufer Admission is free!
Wed, 5:30 pm Thalia: Prelude to the retrospective: Women Directors in the GDR
The question of whether women's films are different is currently preoccupying many. It is certain, however, that they have mostly been overlooked by those who make film history. This is also true of women directors from the GDR. We examine the history of independent, experimental film in the GDR.
Supporting programme:

Wed, 8 pm Raskolnikov Gallery: Exhibition opening PHASEN
Since the early 1980s Christine Schlegel and Helge Leiberg have been working with book objects, artist magazines, experimental films and performances by means of painting.
