Cinema Club – International Flavour: Germany

We watch a movie and then discuss its history and cultural relevance. You do not need to have attended the other sessions to sign up.

This is part of our series International Flavour, where we select films from all over the world to watch, enjoy, and analyze. Subtitled Whistle While You Work we will watch a film from 1930s Germany and then discuss how that country was formative in the history of filmmaking. Plus how a certain film still has an impact nearly 100 years after it was made.

Genre: Crime, Mystery, Thriller Sex & Nudity: None Violence & Gore: Mild Profanity: Mild Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking: Mild Frightening & Intense Scenes: Moderate

This event is sponsored by the Calgary Society of Independent Filmmakers. CSIF was founded in 1978 by a collective of twelve filmmakers who saw the growing need for film resources and film equipment on the traditional Treaty 7 territory of the Blackfoot Confederacy (Siksika, Kainai, Piikani), the Tsuut’ina, the Iyarhe Nakoda Nations, the Métis Nation (Region 3), also known as Calgary, Alberta. Now over 40 years later we are an integral part of the growing cultural community in Calgary and are excited about new collaborations and opportunities.
