Presented by the Goethe-Institut and the American Cinematheque, German Currents, L.A.’s Festival of German Film, returns this fall for its 19th edition, taking place from October 17–21, with screenings at the Aero Theatre, Los Feliz 3, the Goethe-Institut Los Angeles and the Gardena Cinema.
This year’s film selection is a vibrant bouquet: thought-provoking, emotional, tragic, and humorous, with strong female leads and men in search of their own identity. Those drawn to historical narratives will discover fresh perspectives on pivotal moments in German history, while genre fans can also look forward to a debut feature-length science fiction thriller.
As we mark 35 years since the reunification of Germany, the festival reflects on this anniversary not only with the Opening Film TWO TO ONE by Natja Brunckhorst. The motif of freedom seems to run like a common thread through the program: the freedom to be true to oneself, the individual’s freedom within a community, the desire to break free from societal norms – for better or worse, and the courage to risk everything in the pursuit of freedom and justice.
We look forward to welcoming actor Ronald Zehrfeld (TWO TO ONE), writer-director Bernhard Wenger (PEACOCK, Austrian submission to the 98th Academy Awards® – BEST INTERNATIONAL FEATURE FILM ) and director Mariko Minoguchi (DIE ZEIT VERBRECHEN) as festival guests to present their films in person.
