Announcement: Open your eyes! - Dreamlike movie premiere in little Bali

Und ich war Feridun Zaimoglu (D 2023) is the third film to accompany the annual Kassel Grimm Poetry Professorship. In this experimental film, the Kiel-based author Feridun Zaimoglu reads passages from his fictional inaugural lecture. He reflects on storytelling, writing and taking on roles: "On paper, I was not only a criminal nature [...] I was the fall into dreams". Director Thomas Henkes stages just such a plunge into bizarre (dream) worlds for moviegoers.

The film premiere takes place in cooperation with the Literaturhaus Kassel. Stefanie Kreuzer (Univ. Kassel) will host the event with a panel discussion, cast and crew of the film including a reading by Feridun Zaimoglu.
