Weimar: The Legacy of German Cinema

Join us at West Norwood Picturehouse for a session exploring, investigating, and examining Weimar cinema following our recent season of classic German film.

The session will be led by Picturehouse Film Programmer Rose Butler and will begin with a talk outlining the importance and legacy of this national cinema that would come to shape the generic blueprints for horror, science fiction, crime and romance cinema that we still recognise today.

The talk will be followed by an informal discussion, where participants are encouraged to share ideas and thoughts on Weimar cinema and the films screened across this season.

Taking place at the cosy Community Room at West Norwood Picturehouse, this will be a relaxed evening session and discussion open to anyone interested. Whether you're part of the industry, an avid film goer, or you're just curious to know a little more, join us! Feel free to grab a snack and a drink from the bar before going in!

The course will run from 6:30 - 9pm, including a short break.

Tickets are £10, £8 for Picturehouse members.
