Filmpremiere THE ASSESSMENT

In the organizer's words:

In a near future where life is optimized and controlled, parenthood is subject to a strict approval process. Mia (Elizabeth Olsen) and her husband Aaryan (Himesh Patel) have submitted their application to have children and must first undergo a suitability test. They are assigned an assessor named Virginia (Alicia Vikander), who accompanies them every step of the way for seven days. The cool, aloof Virginia presents Mia and Aaryan with a series of grueling challenges that push them to their emotional limits and not only shake the foundations of their relationship, but also fuel increasing doubts about the assessor's motives and the integrity of the assessment system.

This profound thriller starring ^{Oscar®-winner} Alicia Vikander ("The Danish Girl"), Elizabeth Olsen ("Avengers: Endgame") and Himesh Patel ("Don't Look Up") explores the complexity of human relationships and the ethical boundaries of a society that values control over individual freedom. THE ASSESSMENT celebrated its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival in September 2024.

The film will be shown in the original English with German subtitles.

We would like to invite you to a special screening in the KHG church, where parts of the film were shot. This will be followed by a talk with the Cologne-based film production company augenschein and an ethics professor, during which we will learn more about the filming and development of the project and delve deeper into the topic. The talk will be held in German.
