The first days / 12.11.2015

Eroeffnung sw Kopie

After a triumphant opening night on Tuesday, we are looking back on the first days of the festival. The films TRAPPED BY LAW by Sami Mustafa, UNFORGIVEN by Lukas Augustin and LIKE THE OTHERS by Constantin Wulff were sold out. Around 400 visitors attended the opening of the exhibition Monitoring, which is happening at the Kassel Kunstverein, the Südflügel and the Stellwerk at the KulturBahnhof and at the Galerie Coucou until Sunday. Also, the special exhibition Oh well, Baunatal, your fields! which was opened in the Interim at the KulturBahnhof, was very popular.

Many more exciting program points are coming which we will point out here and on our Facebookpage regularly. We wish a lot of joy during the festival days!
