Out into the neighborhood! The film festival

In cooperation with the municipal cinema, things will be colorful around the old Wiehre railway station in May!

We want to experience with you what else our streets can do: Watch movies indoors and outdoors, eat together, dance, discuss, have fun, meet old friends and new people.

There will also be lots of information on urban climate adaptation and green superblocks.

And a cool raffle on top!

-----------------------------------------

Here is the program:

Saturday, May 9

Kick-off with choir before the cinema program starts:

7:30 pm: "Butterfly Station"

The documentary film about the disused Badischer Rangierbahnhof in Basel shows that habitats and man-made infrastructure function in an astonishingly similar way: as dynamic networks of paths that can be closely interwoven, with alternative routes and reserves. Or also thin, single-track, unsteady and fragile. The film places the old train station and the planned infrastructure project in a larger context with consumer habits and the understanding of surroundings and culture.

9 p.m.: "Living Walls" in the neighborhood

Our streets can do more! For example, open-air cinema!

With the legendary Living Walls, we rediscover the Wiehre district on a joint walk around the Kommunales Kino. Short films about the city and the outdoors are shown on walls. A very special treat ��

Sunday, May 10

10:30 am: Film matinee "The Human Scale"

For over 40 years, Danish architect and urban planner Jan Gehl has stood for a concept of bringing new life into city centers and making them more liveable again. His visionary and revolutionary work focuses on the lives of people in cities. Based on seven international metropolises, we take a look at his ideas and projects on how human and sustainable city life can be created.

"An impressive, funny and rousing plea for a greener, quieter, nicer city - more Copenhagen and less Los Angeles." (Süddeutsche Zeitung)

12:30 p.m.: Lecture by Heinrich Strößenreuther "Hot cities, cool shadows"

Heinrich Strößenreuther from Berliner BaumEntscheid shows how we need to cool our city districts with more trees and green spaces in the future. How can we create more space for greenery and people? The founder of several climate decisions has examples and concrete solutions up his sleeve.

1 p.m.: Panel discussion

Why do we need green superblocks? How should they work? We talk to experts about the possibility of green superblocks in Freiburg.

3 pm: Children's movie "The Blue Tiger"

Johanna and Mathias live with their parents in an abandoned Botanic Garden that is to make way for a major construction project. A magical story about two children who try to protect their natural and lovingly chaotic world against the city's radical building plans. Czech director Petr Oukropec stages their fantasies and reveries with the help of artistic and detailed animations and buildings.

5 p.m.: "Mon Oncle" by Jaques Tati

Everything is easier with humor! To round off our film festival, we are showing the Oscar-winning classic by the unforgotten French comedian about the pitfalls of modernity.

Little Gérard lives with his parents in an ultra-modern house, but he prefers the company of his old-fashioned uncle Hulot, who takes him on excursions into the city. From his precise observations of everyday life, Tati develops grotesquely exaggerated contradictions that are still - or just again - quite funny today.
