Dear Friends,
We would "welcome" you to the fall, but it's sure not feeling like fall here in Washington today! We hope that you are staying cool in this heat wave. Nevertheless, we are excited to be trickling back into our spaces after July and August holidays, and will be bringing a variety of cultural and language programs to you throughout the coming weeks.
On September 10 and 14, we will be welcoming visitors into our space for the first time in months - the DC Shorts Film Festival brings workshops, film premieres, live panels and Q&As, and more to Washington once again. We are thrilled to collaborate with them next month to present a workshop on budgeting in filmmaking, a screening of local short films, and a premiere of DC-based documentarian Sam George's film Out to Vote, developed for the Bertelsmann Foundation.
If you're looking to build up your fall reading list, start with the books on the Goethe Book Club schedule for the next couple of months! On September 21, we will be starting out with a virtual discussion of Gabriele Tergit's Weimar-era satirical novel Käsebier Takes Berlin. If you're a fan of the Berlin portrayed in Babylon Berlin and Cabaret, this novel is one for you!
Kids Euro Festival is taking place virtually this year; we are excited to co-present, along with the German Embassy, a heartwarming and adventurous family film about a young boy teaming up with a new friend to bring some joy back into his grandfather's life. Summer Rebels will stream to audiences in the District of Columbia, Maryland, and Virginia between October 8 and October 31.
