Screening of The Dreamed Ones

Join us for the Austrian Film Nights, a series celebrating Austrian cinema through three thought-provoking films.

On Day 2, we’ll be screening The Dreamed Ones, a film by Austrian director Ruth Beckermann that explores the complex relationship between two poets.

The themes of love and hate are depicted in the movie. At center stage are the two poets Ingeborg Bachmann and Paul Celan, who came to know each other in post-war Vienna. Their vivid postal exchange creates the textual basis of the film. Two young actors, Anja Plaschg and Laurence Rupp, meet in a recording studio to read the letters. The tumultuous emotions of proximity and distance, fascination and fear captivate them. However they also enjoy each other’s company, arguing, smoking, discussing their tattoos and favourite music. Yesterday’s love, today’s love and tomorrow’s: where the lines are blurred lies the heart of the film.

Language: German with EN subtitles

And, of course, no movie night is complete without snacks! Popcorn and water will be provided.

Come enjoy the film with us and share the experience with fellow cinema lovers.
