Conference Literature and Film

Under the title "Literature and Film: Concentrated Dialogs. From the German Empire to Exile", a conference organized by Fabienne Liptay and Stefan Keppler (Free University Berlin and Ludwig-Maximilians University Munich) from March 26 to 28 examines the diverse relationships between film and literature. The start is made on March 26 at Arsenal with a lecture by Thomas Koebner (Munich): "Bourgeois Satire Between Literature and Film – Using the Example of 'Die Hose', Director: Hans Behrendt, after Motives of the Drama by Carl Sternheim". Afterwards DIE HOSE (A Royal Scandal, Hans Behrendt, D 1927, on the piano: Eunice Martins, March 26) will be screened. The satire on hypocrisy and subservience in a German residence city prior to 1914 caricatures the escapade of an official's wife triggered by a ridiculous mishap. Afterwards, drinks will be served in the foyer.
