I must not miss the.... Just right! Simpsons - the movie on 35mm. A very special event, even for us. During the nerve-wracking program session for this summer semester, in between all the seriousness and poetry, we came across the above-mentioned film in the history of animated cartoons when we took a look at our c o p i e n a r c h i v and agreed pretty quickly that this copy definitely deserved to be shown again. definitely deserved to see the projector light again. Outside any series and any frame.

Things are not going well for environmental protection in Springfield when Homer literally breaks the camel's back in the lake outside the city gates. When US President Schwarzenegger then takes drastic measures and has a huge glass dome placed over the contaminated town, Homer is exposed to the fury of his fellow citizens. Springfield's inhabitants form a mob and have only one goal: to lynch Homer. “Excellent": Whenever something pleases or suits him, he says it. (Mr. Burns)

In the supporting program: Outer Space
Director: Peter Tscherkassky, Austria 1999, 10 minutes, 35mm, without dialog

More about the film series in summer semester 2025:

Kino im Blauen Salon, the student cinema of the Hochschule für Gestaltung, invites you to the new program for the summer semester! Our film program, which was awarded 1st prize by the Deutsche Kinemathek, is now in its 18th semester! Time to take a brief look back... In our early days, cineastes were few and far between in the Blauer Salon, whereas today the room seems almost too small. But we have always remained true to our ideals: Analog film screenings in 35mm & 16mm, joint voluntary work with free admission and a relaxed HfG atmosphere. And the summer open-air cinema on the lawn in front of the HfG is already in its 6th round, this time at the end of May! So it's time not to look back, but to look forward: To another summer semester full of cinematic-poetic cinema highlights:
Our main interest this summer is poetry, because the nights are getting longer, the horizon endless and there's something in the air. But what does cinema have to do with poetry? Find out in our “Cinema Poetico” series, in which we set off on multiple narrative strands, meandering perspectives, visual detours and everything that lies between the lines. The series presents a hand-picked selection of classics and hidden gems that form the silent branches of cinema.
There are also nightly excursions with our “Midnight Movies”, the legendary Kult Sneak, experimental short film programs, workshops, specials, guests and, of course, the highlight of the cinema year, the open-air cinema in front of the HfG, under the motto “Freedom in Change”. See you soon at the movies!
