Monday, May 6, 2024 // 6 pm // Blue Salon // Room 012 // HfG Karlsruhe
The division between East and West Germany no longer exists, and so the Russian officer Lasutkin finds himself stranded in Berlin with no orders, no subordinates and no comrades to follow. As he wanders aimlessly through the city, he rants about politics to no one in particular, tries to clean up a disfigured statue of Lenin and begins an affair with the lovely Miki Miki.
Special presentation in cooperation with the Open Research Center (ORC) and the Department of Scenography/Exhibition Design at the HfG.
Germany/Yugoslavia 1993, 83 minutes, 35mm, original version with German subtitles Director: Dušan Makavejev With Petar Božović, Svetozar Cvetković, Eva Ras, Anita Mančić and others.
Free admission, donation requested
Kino im Blauen Salon is the student cinema of the Hochschule für Gestaltung, which has been run by students since 2017. We have also recently become our own association! From the design of this flyer to the program design and scheduling to the film screening itself, we have been working here on a voluntary basis since February. And all the other many tasks that come with running a movie theater.
We are not a soulless blockbuster cinema, everything is handmade again, because we play most evenings from classic 35mm film reels. To this end, we have resurrected two beautiful analog film projectors from the 1950s over the last few years. In addition to the film series "The Cinema of Euphoria", this semester there will again be many special screenings, collaborations and, for the first time, a concert evening.
