Further information about the film
In February 1974, there are fierce street battles between the Frankfurt squatter scene and the police. Alongside this: A children's carnival, a Marxist-trained spy at a conference on astrophysics and the "coitus thief" Inge Maier. For the first time in the history of the Federal Republic of Germany, massive public protest against a change in the cityscape characterised by property speculation and gentrification is taking place in the 'Frankfurter Häuserkampf'.
Programme for the 2024 summer semester: "CineCity"
The student-run arthouse cinema "Lichtblick" has been organising a film series in the Pollux cinema every semester since 2003, showing selected classics, cult films and curiosities. The new programme for the 2024 summer semester, "CineCity", focuses on the city in film. Whether realistically documented or fantastically staged, the big city exerts a special fascination for film. The urbanisation of the 20th century led to the emergence of a mass culture in which cinema also played its part. But the big city and film are also intrinsically linked. Industry, fast means of transport and a high population density characterise the city as a place of acceleration.
Further information and the complete programme can be found on the website of the "Lichtblick" arthouse cinema.
