Studium Generale X Lumen

Filmhuis Lumen and Studium Generale are joining forces and organize a new monthly collaboration showcasing the best and freshest voices from cinema. Wednesday 23 April there is a special preview of Riefenstahl. The film will be introduced by journalist and lecturer Gerlinda Heywegen. For students (with a student card): tickets are only €7,50 and include a free drink!

Leni Riefenstahl is considered one of the most controversial women of the 20th century as an artist and a Nazi propagandist. Her films Triumph des Willens and Olympia stand for perfectly staged body worship and the celebration of the superior and victorious. At the same time, these images project contempt for the imperfect and weak. Riefenstahl’s aesthetics are more present than ever today – but is that also true for their implied message?
