Konklave- Von Literatur zu Film

In the organizer's words:

"The book is better." - is one of the best-known phrases that moviegoers say about literary adaptations, at least if they have seen both media. But what happens when you approach a film adaptation from both a literary and a cinematic perspective?

FROM LITERATURE TO FILM is the approach from a cinematic perspective, represented by Sven Ollig, Theater Director Apollo Kino Aachen, and a literary perspective, represented by Dr. Nina Janz, research assistant in the Department of German Studies at RWTH Aachen University. Together we curate the film selection, non-German-language films are presented in the OmU version, which has been deliberately kept open in terms of both film and literature.

The events always take place on the second Thursday of each month at 6.00 pm. In addition to the film screening, the series of events includes a short impulse from both of them as well as a film discussion with the audience after the screening. All films are shown without advertising and, if possible, trailers of upcoming films from the program series are shown at the beginning of the event.

The Backhaus bookshop provides an individually designed book table for each event, where books can also be purchased.
