SUMMARY:Film Screening:German Film Series
DESCRIPTION:All Films screened in German with English subtitles.\n\nFebruary 3: *Kokon* (Cocoon\, 2020\, dir. Leonie Krippendorff)\nTime: food at 6\, film at 6:30pm\nLocation: North Quad 2435\nBerlin-Kreuzberg is Nora’s microcosm. Nora\, the silent observer\, drifts around the monotonous housing blocks with her big sister and her friends\, witnessing events that seem to cross-fade in the summer light. Girls who want to be slim and pretty\, boys who say dumb things to provoke or because they are in love. Ruthless smartphone cameras and fragile teenagers. But Nora has her own way of looking at the world\, and when she meets Romy\, she realizes why. This film captures a summer of change. (Berlinale 2020)\n\nMarch 10: *Sonne* (Sun\, 2022\, dir. Kurdwin Ayub) \nTime: food at 6\, film at 6:30pm\nLocation: North Quad 2435\nThree teenage girls from Vienna twerk in hijab and sing a pop song. A YouTube video of it makes them famous overnight\, especially among Kurdish Muslims. Yesmin\, the only one of the friends who is Kurdish herself\, begins to distance herself more and more from her culture. Nati and Bella\, on the other hand\, seem fascinated by a world that is strange to them. A film about young people caught between social media and self-discovery\, a story of rebellious young women. (Austrian Films)\n\nApril 7: *Oray* (2019\, dir. Mehmet Akif Büyükatalay)\nTime: NO FOOD\, doors at 6:15pm\, film at 6:30pm\nLocation: *State Theater*\nOray strives to be a better person but struggles with his shady past.

But he is constantly torn between his faith\, everyday reality and identity.
