• We are happy to continue working with TIFF as they keep presenting cutting-edge German films. Join us at our Directors Talks at the Goethe-Institut this September, where we engage German directors and actors in conversation. Watch this blog for announcements over the next few days & weeks!
• The Goethe-Institut’s own film program brings the best of German film to Canadian audiences. GOETHE FILMS @ TIFF Bell Lightbox is “one of the better-kept secrets in the Toronto art house sphere” (blogTO.com). This season: a continuation of our exploration of the interplay of Culture & Economy.
• This November and December TIFF Bell Lightbox, in association with the Munich Film Museum & the Goethe-Institut, will present the most comprehensive retrospective of influential German film, theatre, and opera director Werner Schroeter (1945–2010) ever assembled in Canada.
• For the 8th time, two dozen European countries are coming together to present the European Union Film Festival. Enjoy the best of European cinema from November 15-24. And thank you Toronto for our 2011 Audience Award!
• To celebrate our 50th anniversary in Canada, we have commissioned German artists fettFilm to light up our windows at King & University this fall with the video installation “Late Night @ Goethe”, a Virtual Anniversary Celebration.
• Don’t forget that you can borrow the latest German films on DVD from our Goethe-Institut Library.
50 years of Canadian-German film encounters -- Thank you to all our partners & audiences!
