Goethe on demand: Double Exposure Simultaneities and solidarities

The film series “Double Exposure” deals with ambiguity, consonances and dissonances and what belongs together in what is different.

Still from “Trümmermädchen”: Through Gloria's lessons, the young women realize that they can only stand together, as a union of sisters, against the oppression of a male-dominated society. © Artkeim2 / UCM.ONE

Harbor Stories

Their seas may be the Mediterranean, the Indian Ocean or the Atlantic, yet they are united by a shared love of their home harbors. Individuals from nine countries share stories that reveal what binds them to the harbors they call home. Read about storms, lugworms, colourful cargo containers and banana boats – stories of homecoming and departure from Egypt, Argentina, Brazil, Germany, Yemen, Canada, Kenya, Colombia and Libya. Happy reading!
