ARTE Sommerkino Kulturforum

Since 2023, the freely accessible artistic and horticultural installation Baumschule Kulturforum has been created around the summer cinema. Green islands of young tree groves are gradually colonizing the stone open space of the Kulturforum. As new actors in the urban space, they invite visitors to linger, come together, discuss and participate. 

Chris Wright, editor of the film, will talk to documentary film director and author Grit Lemke about the making of the film and answer open questions from the audience from 8-9pm in the Kulturforum's Piazzetta at the Baumschule Kulturforum.

About

A powerful man, who is also the former Prime Minister of Georgia, buys old trees up to 15 stories high along the Georgian coast to transplant them into his private garden. For the costly transportation of the trees, other trees are felled, electricity cables are laid and new roads are paved through mandarin orchards. The dramatic migration leaves behind some money, scarred villages and confused communities.
