We are happy to invite you to the next installment of the ArtHouse Cinema program on Tuesday, August 8, 2017. This time we will screen the film called Wir sind jung. Wir sind stark. (We are young. We are strong.) directed by Burhan Qurbani.
Rostock-Lichtenhagen, August 1992: unemployed youths struggle with their boredom and frustrations in a prefabricated housing development. At night, they run riot, fighting with the police and foreigners. The confrontations become so threatening that the authorities decide to evacuate the Romanian Roma from a refugee centre. As potential victims, the Vietnamese remain in the so-called “Sonnenblumenhaus” (Sunflower House). The riots escalate, but the police retreat, and a night of violence ensues – before the eyes of a gaping and applauding crowd. The young filmmaker Burhan Qurbani reconstructs the notorious night that became a national disgrace in We are young. We are strong..
