Kelly Reichardt
30.01 > 19.02
To mark the release of The Mastermind, we are also screening Kelly Reichardt’s earlier work. In addition to her two westerns, Meek’s Cutoff and First Cow, you can also (re)discover Wendy and Lucy and Certain Women. Reichardt’s favourite actress, Michelle Williams, is almost always part of the cast. On 4 March 2026, after the ANIMA Festival, we will continue the cycle with other titles.
Program
DECEMBER + JANUARI + FEBRUARI
CLASSICS is a collection of milestones and masterpieces featuring iconic figures both in front of and behind the camera. These are touchstones in cinema. While one might debate their specific qualities, there’s no arguing that they have become integral to our cultural heritage. As a collection, they do more than serve as examples or set standards—they facilitate a broader dialogue about cinema.
The film archive is bursting with films that rarely make it into programming for various reasons. Not every film, no matter how deserving, is considered a "classic" or easily fits into a specific theme. That’s why, alongside our thematic cycles, we also select a somewhat random assortment of films to be presented without additional commentary or context under the label FREE ANTHOLOGY.
THE SILVER SCREEN series revisits popular cinema from the 1930s to the 1980s. Classics from around the world, bringing back those unforgettable scenes where actors and actresses of the time lit up the screen. Cinema as it should always be experienced: sound and image projected on film and shown on the big screen, in a comfortable theater. And – if the film’s length allows – with a carefully selected pre-show: a trailer, a cartoon, a newsreel, or a documentary, recreating the movie-going experience of the past.
In this programme, we discover films that show us that there is another world behind the one we see every day. This autumn, we are once again colouring with cheerful, imaginative classics full of encounters with skeletons, puppets and giants. They show us that nothing is ever quite what it seems.
From classic works to super-experimental creations, from main-stream entertainment to the most militant stories: OUR STORY invites you to explore the rich history of lhbtqia+ cinema and question the complex links between the queer community and film, as film is both a space for emancipation and an instrument of discrimination. Our Story’s programmes, which also accommodate guest appearances and short contextualisations, are aimed at both the general public and audience members who want to reappropriate their film memory.
From canonical works to the most experimental creations, and from mainstream entertainment to politically engaged narratives, OUR QUEER STORY invites you to explore the rich history of LGBTQIA+ cinema. It seeks to examine the complex relationship between the queer community and the moving image, which has served as both a space for emancipation and an instrument of discrimination. Accompanied by presentations or short contextual introductions, the OUR STORY events are intended for a broad audience as well as for viewers eager to reclaim their own cinematic memory.
