Dear Friends,
Our next round of German courses begins next week! Check our availability for five- and ten-week fall courses that combine online group sessions and online flexible learning supported by expert instructors.
Tomorrow and next Tuesday, we will be welcoming visitors into our space for the first time in quite a few 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 tomorrow to present a workshop on budgeting in filmmaking and a screening of local short films. On Tuesday, we will host the premiere of DC-based documentarian Sam George's film Out to Vote, developed for the Bertelsmann Foundation.
In a citywide celebration of returning to live performance, IN Series Theatre Company presents A Festival Through Grief to Hope: a weekend-long festival of concerts, films, and music-theater that takes the audience on a journey commemorating what we have been through, what we have lost, and what we have created, as it rings in a season of rebirth and renewal. The brand-new film Pieces of a Last Act, featuring music from Richard Wagner, will screen on our terrace September 24.
Deutsche Film AG (DEFA), the film studio of the German Democratic Republic, was founded 75 years ago in Potsdam-Babelsberg. By the time of reunification, it had produced some 700 feature films, around 2,500 documentaries and short films, and 950 animated films. Today, the entire film output of the GDR is administered by the DEFA Foundation. Together with the Library of DEFA, the virtual film series Broken Taboos was put together to mark the 75th anniversary.
