OPTISCHE LITERATUR
An unjustly forgotten chapter of young German film: highlights from the film department of the Literary Colloquium Berlin
June 2023 marked the 60th anniversary of the founding of the Literary Colloquium Berlin (LCB) - and with it the project of a film department. Following the major exhibition "Optical Literature" at the Zeughaus Kino in Berlin, our collection of the same name exclusively presents the films initiated by the LCB that are significant in terms of contemporary history.
To mark the anniversary, numerous LCB films archived at the Deutsche Kinemathek have been digitally restored there. The new copies were first shown in the film series "Optical Literature" curated by Frederik Lang, and now they can also be discovered in our collection. (Photo LCB: Patrick Bode)
