9th Academy Discussion [and…]
Long Live the Cinema! The Situation of Cinema in Germany
Academy Discussions
Auteur films, documentaries and artistic film essays are disappearing more and more from movie screens. Cinemas in small towns are fighting for their existence. The community experience at the cinema faces the ubiquitous availability of streaming services. The joy of cinema, the fear of its disappearance and the courage to start new theaters are some of the issues at stake.
