In spring 2017, we showed African-American cinema for the first time in a film series entitled 'Black Lives in America'. With the Oscar success of 'Moonlight', Black Cinema was back on everyone's lips and Hollywood defied the newly elected ultra-conservative President Trump by honoring black films. Since then, a lot has happened in Hollywood: 'Black Panther' was the first superhero film with black lead actors to become a super hit, Spike Lee's satire 'BlacKkKlansman' won the Grand Jury Prize in Cannes. The worldwide 'Black Lives Matter' protests in 2020 made the series even more tragically relevant.
With the ninth season (from February 2025), we will broaden our perspective and 'Black Lives in America' will become 'Black Lives Around the World'. All films will be shown in the original version with German subtitles (if available).
In cooperation with the Initiative of Black People in Germany and the German-American Institute Nuremberg.
