Open Air Film Night: FRIENDSHIP

Friendship can take many forms…

In the course of the night you will encounter a fast-track clash of 
opposites, two seamen in a desperate situation that puts their 
friendship to the test, a world-wary loner who is saved by a puppy and 
two strangers changed by a shared journey…

A Friend of Mine (Ein Freund von mir)
Director: Sebastian Schipper, 2006
Karl and Hans are like fire and water – or accelerating and braking… 
It’s hard to imagine two guys having less in common… but sometimes, an 
unlikely friendship is all it takes to change the world.






The Raft (Das Floß)
Director: Jan Thüring, 2004
After a bad storm, seafarers Marty and Ernest are drifting on the ocean 
on a raft. Together they fight to survive, but when they catch a small 
fish, it becomes evident what true friendship really means.







Underdogs (Schwere Jungs Habens Echt Nicht Leicht)
Director: Jan Hinrik Drevs, 2007
Mosk is a violent and unpredictable offender who, against his will, 
finds himself enrolled in a program for training guide dogs for the 
blind.







Sheep and Chips (Die Schimmelreiter)
Director: Lars Jessen, 2009
Northern Germany can be so beautiful... some say. Others are dying of 
boredom there and want nothing more than to get the hell out of there. 
Die Schimmelreiter is a classic buddy movie, a tour-de-force through 
the provincial wastelands of Northern Germany.
