This winter semester we have once again decided against a leitmotif, against a red thread and against drawers. Our pigeonhole, red thread and leitmotif this semester will once again be the diversity of cinema. Let's look together through a realm that could not be more different and yet always has one thing in common: our view of it. We hope that was profound enough, and now enjoy the film!
