As the patron of the first Black Forest Film Festival, we honour Margarethe von Trotta with a retrospective of her outstanding work.
Her films blend the personal and the political, exploring memory, identity and responsibility with rare clarity and emotional intelligence.

Screenings include:

• Hannah Arendt – Cine Maja Emmendingen

• Sisters or: The Balance of Happiness – Friedrichsbau Freiburg

• Ingeborg Bachmann – Journey into the Desert – Friedrichsbau Freiburg

A special highlight is the Master Class with Margarethe von Trotta on Wednesday evening at the Friedrichsbau Freiburg, where she shares personal insights into her creative process and the art of uniting the poetic with the political.

This retrospective invites audiences to rediscover the work of an extraordinary artist whose voice continues to inspire.
