German Language Film Festival Returns! |
|
Wednesday, 11 April 2012 |
Once again we’ve gotten together with our friends at the Embassies of Switzerland, Austria, and the Federal Republic of Germany to bring you the 2012 edition of the German Language Film Festival.
We’ve got three films lined up, April 12 to 14, all being shown at the Auditorium at 395 Wellington Street and they’re all free! Show up early, grab a free seat and enjoy some top-flight movies.
Things get started on Thursday night with Almanya - Welcome to Germany, which explores the journey of Huseyin and his transition from Turkish immigrant to culturally assimilated German. This charming movie gives us a fun look into Turkish-German culture and the meaning of national identity.
Friday night, Swiss cinema takes centre-stage with The Murder Farm, a delightfully twisted tale about a young woman who returns to a small village which was rocked by a gruesome, unsolved murder two years prior. Paranoia runs rampant in the town as everybody is suspicious of their neighbour. Based on a wildly popular novel by Andrea Maria Schenkel, which in turn is based upon a true story, the film breathes new life into one of the strangest cases in Swiss history.
Saturday night we head to Austria for What a Difference a Day Makes, the story of Robert, an up-and-coming politician, who meets an old friend from the past who begins to divulge embarrassing secrets about the aspiring political contender which could seriously undermine his campaign and career.
All films are in German with English sub-titles and admission to all three films in this series is free!
