"Cur­tain Call" - film screen­ing of "Yan­nick" at the Licht­blick art­house cinema

 |  Student life,  Exhibitions

In the 2025 summer semester, the Lichtblick arthouse cinema will focus on the connection between theatre and film under the motto "Curtain Call - Cinema in 15 Acts". Over the course of the semester, a total of 15 films will be presented each week, showcasing the relationship that has existed since the emergence of cinema and the mutual inspiration between the two art forms. To mark the occasion, "Yannick" will be screened on Tuesday, 20 May at 8.30 pm in the Pollux cinema.

Tickets for the screening are available both via the Pollux website and at the box office. In addition, the Lichtblick arthouse cinema is once again part of the AStA Kulturticket, which means that 40 free tickets per screening are available for Paderborn University students. These can be redeemed at the cinema box office at the earliest one week before the performance on presentation of a student ID together with an official photo ID.

More information on the programme and the individual screenings can be found on the Lichtblick cinema website.

Yannick

One theatre hall. A theatre play. A man with a gun who doesn't like this play: Yannick (Rapha?l Quenard). He takes the play into his own hands and turns from spectator into the new dramaturge of the play. The boundary between actors and audience is not only metaphorically broken in this case. French director and musician Quentin Dupieux manages to develop complex characters and tell a story in a short space of time without leaving the plot. At the same time, the film is an entertaining invitation to criticise the classism of the theatre.

Lichtblick arthouse cinema

The Lichtblick arthouse cinema is a student initiative at Paderborn University and has been enriching Paderborn's cultural landscape with sophisticatedly curated themed film series since it was founded in 2003. These range from early silent films to contemporary cinema. During these forays through over 120 years of film history, all kinds of classics, marginalised films, curiosities and forgotten treasures have been brought back to the big screen. This, including the analogue projection of 35mm film, is made possible by the long-standing cooperation with the Paderborn Pollux cinema, which is unique in Germany.
