Screening Religion: Der Große NavigatorWe are so excited that we can again start our film series Screening Religion. The kick-off to this semester's series will be the documentary “Der große Navigator – Gott ist auch nur ein Mensch” (2007) by Sigrun Köhler and Wiltrud Baier portraying the missionary Jakob Walter: He is sent to Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania to convince his predominantly atheistic fellow men there of the ‘right’ faith. An incredible film about an impossible mission. 7 October 2020 | 7 p.m. The film will be shown in German with English subtitles and followed by a Q&A with sociologists Thomas Schmidt-Lux and Uta Karstein from Leipzig University. Due to the current situation, we have limited seating capacity and recommend that you reserve tickets online. Reservations must be picked up 20 minutes before the screening starts. Please always check before your visit to make sure that the screening takes place as planned.

Finding: Documentary “Jewish Life – How open is our society?”In this week’s finding, Judith refers to a new cultural TV programme called Twist on ARTE. The current edition entitled “Jewish Life – How open is our society?” tells the story of the city of Halle in Saxony-Anhalt one year after the deadly attack on a synagogue. It shows the picture of a place torn apart – with anti-Semitic tendencies and, at the same time, a self-conception as a cosmopolitan and lively cultural metropolis. Jasmin Lakatoš, a Leipzig-based TV journalist and writer, has created this TV formate. Date of broadcasting will be 4 October 2020, 4.45 p.m. on ARTE.
