Das Museum geht ins Kino – Abschied von den Eltern

A jam-packed film preview featuring readings and interviews

Das Museum geht ins Kino – Abschied von den Eltern

When: MON, September 16, 6pm–9pm
Where: Literaturmuseum der Österreichischen Nationalbibliothek
Entry: Free talk, 5€ for the film, buy a ticket

If you normally prefer staying at home watching DVDs so you can hear the director’s commentary, and see all the ‘making of’ features, perhaps this event will tempt you off your comfy sofa. Before this preview screening of “Abschied von den Eltern” (Farewell to the Parents), you get to hear a reading by actress Dorothee Hartinger from the book it’s based on, which is an autobiographical work by German-Swedish writer, Peter Weiss. Then you’ll get a talk with the filmmaker, Astrid Johanna Ofner. No ‘Multi angle’ feature is available, but you could keep switching seats in the cinema. (Note: the talk takes place at the Literaturmuseum and you then head over to the Metro Kinokulturhaus for the film).

Recommended if you like: being a culture vulture, packing in as many kinds of events in one evening as possible, being a film fanatic, literature, films based on books, wearing a tweed jacket and saying “well, of course you have to read the book before you see the film”.
