Screening Religion: „Pfarrer” / “Priests”Our Screening Religion series continues and up next we will show the film „Pfarrer” (“Priests”) on 9 June: Two atheist filmmakers accompany a group of young men and women in the final phase of their parish training in Wittenberg. While at the beginning it is mainly about learning the liturgical “craft”, in the course of time they are confronted with very fundamental human questions and the boundaries between faith and unbelief, comfort and despair become blurred. The film will be shown in cooperation with Cinémathèque Leipzig in German language with English subtitles. There will be a discussion following the film. Registration is not necessary. 9 June | 7:00 p.m. (CET) Online via livestream
