SUMMARY:Alma and Oskar
DESCRIPTION:The film follows the amour fou between the Grande Madame of Vienna’s cultural society\, Alma Mahler\, and the young expressionist artist Oskar Kokoschka. Alma allows herself to be painted by the unknown artist\, seduces him and instructs the inexperienced young man in the arts of eroticism. He is one of many conquests to her\, but she is to him his first great love. He makes her his muse; she becomes his source of inspiration.  He cannot paint without her\, he says. But she refuses to be there for him alone\, because she too is striving for recognition in the society of Vienna. \n  \nThe Embassy of Austria has the pleasure to screen a drama directed by Dieter Berner. In 1912\, the widowed Alma Mahler\, Grand Dame of Viennese society\, falls for the „Enfant Terrible „of Vienna‘s art scene\, Oskar Kokoschka. But\, as their passion grows\, it threatens to destroy the world they have built for themselves\, and to take them both down with it. \n  \nDirector: Dieter Berner – 2022 – 88‘ \nGenre: Drama \nA few words from the Director: Although Alma and Oskar are “historical” figures\, the audience should encounter them as if they were of the “here and now”. Their conflicts are modern\, and we do not need nostalgic evocations of the past to understand them. \nCast: Emily Cox\, Valentin Postlmayr\, Anton von Lucke \n  \nRating: 16+ \nLanguage: German with English subtitles \nIn cooperation with the Friends of Cinema Society \n

SUMMARY:When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit
DESCRIPTION:Within the framework of the Weeks of the German language the Goethe-Institut Cyprus is organizing film screenings at the two schools in Cyprus that are part of the global PASCH network\, International School of Paphos (ISOP) and Heritage Private School in Limassol. Both films deal with the current as ever issues of racism and displacement\, but through the eyes of children. When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit is set in Germany in the early 1930s and Too Far Away in the late 2010s. \nWhen Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit (2019) is directed by Oscar winning film director Caroline Link. She is known for addressing complex issues through emotional storytelling\, an approach she followed also for this film. The director herself stated about the films When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit and Nowhere in Africa (2001) that she was intrigued by the fact that both stories deal with the Third Reich\, but do not play in Germany. \nBerlin 1933: Anna Kemper is 9 years old when her life is turned on its head. To escape the nazis\, her father must flee from Germany to Zurich. His family follows shortly after. Anna can only choose one of her toys to take with her\, so many other things she is forced to leave behind. She now has to face the challenges and hardships of having to leave her home and fleeing to a foreign country. \nThe film is a literary adaptation of the semi-autographical book by Judith Kerr. The book was first released in English in 1971 and a German translation by Annemarie Böll followed in 1973. The book\, written for children\, tells the story from the perspective of a child. It is required reading in many schools in Germany and has sold over one million copies. Judith Kerr passed away in May 2019\, before the film was released in December of the same year. \nThe screenings are open to the public \nTrailer: https://youtu.be/oNg1OCFGbr8?feature=shared

SUMMARY:A Whole Life
DESCRIPTION:A Whole Life\, based on the bestselling novel by Robert Seethaler\, follows Andreas Egger\, a humble labourer who\, in his twilight years\, reflects on his life spent in his isolated home-valley. As he navigates through the joys and hardships of life\, the film captures the profound transformation of his serene farming community.\nSet against the breath-taking backdrop of the Austrian Alps\, the film explores themes of nature\, progress\, and the emotional costs of change\, through stunning cinematography.

SUMMARY:Staged reading with Nefeli Kentoni
DESCRIPTION:On November 23\, a staged reading directed by Nefeli Kentoni will take place\, organized by the Austrian Embassy and the Goethe-Institut Cyprus. Selected literary texts from the German-speaking world will be performed live on stage. \nLimassol – a city in transition. Gentrification and rapid urban development shape its face\, transforming streets\, houses\, and ways of life. In this reading\, we invite you on a poetic journey through the city’s transformation: its construction\, its destruction\, and the traces it leaves within us. The selected poems and texts reflect the ambivalence of the urban\, between progress and loss\, hope and despair. \nFor this event\, Nefeli Kentoni has engaged deeply with city poems by the German poet Bertolt Brecht and with the work Awakening to the Great Sleep War by the Austrian author Gert Jonke\, combining them into a unique fusion. Let yourself be surprised by this exciting and extraordinary connection! \nDirected by: Nefeli Kentoni\nOn stage: Fatima Rodriguez\, Melina Koutsofta\nModerated by: Androula Kafa\n\nInformation about the texts and Nefeli Kentoni: \nBrecht’s city poems mirror the contradictory experience of the metropolis: they reveal the harshness and desolation of urban life\, yet at the same time\, a glimpse of another future shines through. Amid concrete and despair\, hope persists\, the idea that even from the deepest darkness\, a path to salvation can emerge. \nIn 1982\, the Austrian author Gert Jonke published Awakening to the Great Sleep War\, a virtuoso narrative in which the reality of a city disintegrates. Tram tracks shed their stops\, books flee from libraries\, stone figures detach themselves from facades. For this\, Jonke invents the “acoustic space designer” Burgmüller\, a poetic adventurer who conducts flocks of birds\, loves three women\, and philosophically observes: “Everything has become so transparent that nothing can be seen through anymore.” The work is considered one of the major achievements of the author\, who passed away in 2009. \nNefeli Kentoni (b. 1998\, Cyprus) is a London-based director\, writer\, and interdisciplinary artist whose work responds to the remains of a world that endlessly collapses and endlessly erects. The theatrical and cinematic form have been the platform in which she negotiates and explores the gaps between language and image\, the performer-viewer relationship\, and the performativity of space. Weaving together tenderness\, absurdity\, and humour\, she dismantles reality and rebuilds it within unpredictable landscapes. \nNefeli is a graduate of the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama and Central Saint Martins (UAL)\, where she was nominated for the MullenLowe NOVA Award. Her work has been showcased internationally at institutions and festivals including the Prague Quadrennial\, Tate Modern\, Barbican Centre\, Cyprus State Gallery of Contemporary Art\, The Place\, Nicosia International Festival\, Dance House Lefkosia\, and the Chengdu–Chongqing International Theatre Festival\, among others. \nIn 2020\, she served as Writer in Residence at Tate Exchange and took part in the Barbican’s Young Visual Arts Group for two consecutive years. Her short film Fragility of Language won the Screendance Short Film Competition at the 36th Leeds International Film Festival. Her performance Katabasis was a finalist at the Offies Awards 2025 and received the Best Director Award at the Chengdu–Chongqing International Theatre Festival in China\, where her performance Wall of Babel was also honoured with the Best Play Award. \n  \nTake the opportunity to engage with German-language literature. \nWe look forward to seeing you!

SUMMARY:Two to One.
DESCRIPTION:Comedy with Sandra Hüller. \n\n\n\nThe Goethe-Institut Cyprus warmly invites you to the screening of TWO TO ONE (2024) on the 4th November 2026. Natja Brunckhorn’s film is about a group of friends\, who with the help of their neighbourhood try to stop capitalism. The filmmaker was inspired by true events happening around the time of the German reunification: \nAs part of the currency union\, millions of GDR-Marks were covertly stored underground in Halberstadt\, in total close to 400 tons worth of bills. Today we know with certainty that money was taken from the vaults\, but which sum was stolen in total remains unknown. \nBased on this true story Natja Brunckhorst developed her film – set in the summer of 1990 in Halberstadt. Maren (Sandra Hüller)\, Robert (Max Riemelt) und Volker (Ronald Zehrfeld) grew up together and are close friends. They find the secret stash of GDR-Marks by accident and decide to stuff their backpacks with money. Together with their neighbours they come up with a clever system to trick West-Germans into exchanging the (now worthless) currency with valuable goods. The summer promises not  only to become an exciting adventure for the three friends\, but also a defining turning point in their lives. \nTwo to One is a love- and friendship-comedy about money and justice. And an homage to a time in which everything seemed possible. \nThe film is shown as part of the Weeks of the German Language. This initiative\, organized by the embassies of Austria\, Germany\, and Switzerland\, together with the Goethe-Institut Cyprus and in cooperation with the Ministry of Education\, Sport and Youth\, annually hosts a variety of activities and events focusing on the German language and the cultures of the participating countries. \nWe would also like to extend our special thanks to the Friends of Cinema Society for supporting this film screening. \nTrailer: https://youtu.be/Y0Fs1FLqAsA?si=xz-BB05t_Up1kF6- \n

SUMMARY:Oh\, this unspeakable void
DESCRIPTION:This year\, the German Embassy is screening a comedy by Simon Verhoeven that humorously explores coming of age\, the world of theatre and an eccentric family life. \nAt the age of 20\, Joachim is unexpectedly accepted into the prestigious acting school in Munich and moves into the grand villa of his quirky grandparents\, Inge and Hermann.
