„Mein Platz in der Gesellschaft“ – Filme über Frauen, Jugendliche und „Gastarbeiter“

On four Saturday evenings in late summer 2025, the Villa Berg park will be transformed into an open-air cinema with short films on celluloid. The "16mm Freiluftkino" series is presented by the Haus für Film und Medien planning team.

Four summer evenings, four cinematic themes - analog, outdoors and freely accessible: the 16mm open-air cinema invites you on a special journey back in time to the analog age of school, educational and cultural films. Rare short films will be shown on original 16mm film, as they used to be shown in classrooms, youth centers or workrooms - in proper style with a projector, picnic blanket and record music.
The series will be presented by Andreas Vogel (Montagegruppe), who will also provide musical accompaniment to the program.

The cinematic focus on 13.09.:
"My place in society" - films about women, young people and "guest workers"
In the 1960s and 70s, the focus of 16mm cinema shifted to what today is subsumed under the label "marginalized groups". The documentary accompaniment of a church youth group in Sindelfingen, surrealistic images of the discrimination of women and the thematization of the problems of the "guest worker" generation raise questions about how the majority looked at minorities back then - and how social power relations are still expressed today.

Free admission - please bring picnic blankets and baskets!
Note: In case of rain, the event will have to be canceled.

An event organized by Planungsstabs Haus für Film und Medien Stuttgart, in cooperation with Villa Berg, Wand 5 / Filmwinter and Montagegruppe.
