Goethe-Institut Chicago, Chicago | Film Screening

What sets Run Lola Run apart from other films is its innovative storytelling approach, which employs rapid pacing, multiple timelines, and striking visual techniques to immerse audiences in Lola's adrenaline-fueled odyssey. Against the backdrop of a pulsating techno soundtrack, director Tom Tykwer invites viewers to contemplate the interconnectedness of seemingly random events and the power of individual choice to shape destiny.

Being Kafka

Why does Franz Kafka’s spell remain unbroken a hundred years after his death? Why do we still perceive Kafka as so modern and contemporary? Because Kafka wrote such beautiful letters? Because we love drama queens? Because we feel that the world has never been more Kafkaesque than it is today? Join us as we step into Kafka’s world! Be Kafka!
