In partnership with Telescope Film

KINO! Film Salon is a monthly online club to discuss films from Germany.
 
How it works: Each month we choose a German film or series currently available to stream on U.S. platforms, watch it independently, and come together for a hosted conversation with other fans of German film.
Register Our September session will be hosted live from the Toronto International Film Festival, with director Ali Samadi Ahadi as a special guest. We will discuss his 2010 documentary The Green Wave, which depicts the revolutionary moment that emerged in the wake of Iran’s contentious 2009 presidential election. Featuring vivid animated sequences, a rich trove of clandestine footage, and powerful interviews, it is a dizzyingly immersive experience and, arguably, one of the finest expressions of revolutionary energy in recent film history.

The Green Wave premiered at the Sundance Film Festival and won Best Documentary Feature at the 2011 Calgary Underground Film Festival.

Hosted by Jim Kolmar

Jim programs for SXSW and Trinidad & Tobago Film Festival, and was a founding committee member of Festival Internacional de Cine Tulum (FICTU). He has participated in numerous international festival juries, panels, and committees.
