In the Fade / Aus dem Nichts (NC16)

Katja's world is shattered when a devastating bomb blast, orchestrated by two neo-Nazis, tragically claims the lives of her beloved husband and young son. Overwhelmed by profound grief and a burning desire for retribution, she embarks on a relentless quest to find justice on her own terms. This gripping drama explores themes of loss, anger, and the pursuit of vengeance.
Important NC16 Advisory: Please note that due to mature content, no persons below the age of 16 will be permitted entry for this screening. For verification, ID checks will be conducted at the entrance, and valid photo identification is required for entry.
Lesson of a Dream (PG)
On Sunday, 9 November, at 3:00 PM, don't miss "Lesson of a Dream." Set in Germany in 1874, this inspiring film tells the story of an Oxford-educated instructor who introduces the unconventional sport of football to his pupils. His progressive teaching methods, however, clash with the conservative views of his colleagues, parents, and local dignitaries, leading to unexpected challenges. Loosely based on the remarkable life of football pioneer Konrad Koch, this film is a delightful portrayal of innovation and overcoming tradition.
