It was Sergei Parajanov’s debut feature drama, but the director himself couldn’t attend. Known for his eccentric genius and strong personality, the then-40-year-old Parajanov declared excitedly, “I will go to Argentina and never return to the Soviet Union.” Predictably, given the restrictions of the Soviet era, he was denied a visa to Argentina.

35 Years After The Fall of The Wall: Looking Back at Berlin Through Films

November 9 marks the 35th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. To commemorate this event which had a profound impact on world history and the current political landscape, the Goethe-Institut held various film screenings in cultural institutions of major cities worldwide. In some cities, German consulates also re-screened “Bornholmer Straße” (Bornholm Street), a film from 10 years ago that depicts the night the Wall came down. This drama-comedy stands out as an engaging political satire th

Politics is Universal

Politics is Universal The State Representative is a person who we ask to speak on behalf of the whole district. The way in which we vote indicates a lot about who we are and where we're heading. Each voice that is heard from must be convincing enough to earn our trust not just by their words but also by their leadership.
