Einmal im Monat findet das Filmforum **„Film ab!“** in unserer Mediothek statt. In dem Rahmen zeigen wir die Werke von Berliner Filmstudierenden und -schaffenden, die sich in unterschiedlichen, audiovisuellen Formaten mit diversen gesellschaftspolitischen Fragen befassen. Im Anschluss an die Filmvorstellung bekommen die Sprachstudierenden des Goethe-Instituts sowie auch externe interessierte Gäste die Möglichkeit, mit den Filmschaffenden selbst ins Gespräch zu kommen, Fragen zu stellen und gemeinsam zu diskutieren. Mit dem Filmforum öffnen wir die Türen des Goethe-Instituts für die Berliner Filmszene und lassen uns gemeinsam von der vielseitigen Gestaltungsmacht der audiovisuellen Kunstform begeistern, bewegen und zum Nachdenken anregen. In der vierten Veranstaltung unserer Reihe „Film ab!“ am Goethe-Institut Berlin beschäftigen wir uns mit dem Dokumentarfilm „Spaltung“ (2025) von João Pedro Prado und Anton Yaremchuk. Der Film wird im Original auf Deutsch und Polnisch mit englischen Untertiteln gezeigt. Im Anschluss hat das Publikum die wunderbare Möglichkeit, mit dem Regisseur João Pedro Prado ins Gespräch zu kommen. ### **Zum Film** **Originaltitel:** Spaltung **Jahr:** 2025 **Länge:** 75 min **Sprache:** Deutsch, Polnisch **Untertitel:** Englisch **SPALTUNG** ist ein kreativ-beobachtender Dokumentarfilm über den Diskurs zur Kernenergie in Deutschland und im benachbarten Polen. Im Mittelpunkt stehen die Bewohner:innen von Gundremmingen in Bayern, einer Gemeinde mit enger Verbindung zum inzwischen stillgelegten Atomkraftwerk, und Choczewo, ein kleiner Ort an der polnischen Ostseeküste, wo bis 2033 das erste AKW des Landes entstehen soll. In ihrem Abschlussfilm an der Filmuniversität Babelsberg KONRAD WOLF bieten die Regisseure João Pedro Prado und Anton Yaremchuk einen differenzierten Blick auf die kontroversen Energiedebatten, insbesondere zur Atomkraft, die nicht zuletzt durch den deutschen Atomausstieg, die Klimakrise und Russlands Angriffskrieg gegen die Ukraine neue Relevanz gewonnen haben.

## Wo & Wann? **JEDEN MONTAG** findet die offene Lesebühne des Autorenforums Berlin statt (außer an Feiertagen) **BEGINN**: 20:00 Uhr **ANMELDUNG zum Lesen: ab 19:30 Uhr** beim Moderator des Abends – siehe [Termine](http://autorenforum-berlin.de/wordpress/termine/); Die Teilnahme an der Veranstaltung ist kostenlos. **SCHWARTZSCHE VILLA** **Großer Salon** Direkt am S/U Rathaus Steglitz Grunewaldstr. 55 Der offene Leseabend stellt das Herzstück des Autorenforums e.V. dar. Er steht nicht nur Mitgliedern, sondern grundsätzlich jedem Autor und jeder Autorin offen, der gerne einen unveröffentlichten Text vor Publikum präsentieren möchte. Auch Kritik kann jedermann üben. Wer lieber zuhören möchte, kann einfach am Montagabend um 20.00 in der Schwartzschen Villa erscheinen. Für Lesewillige gilt die unten stehende ausführliche Information (mündliche Anmeldung ab 19:30 Uhr). *Unfortunately at the moment, it's only possible to present German texts. Unpublished texts that are already translated into German are highly welcome!* ## Was erwartet Sie? Im Großen Salon der Schwartzsche Villa treffen Sie auf einen Kreis von Literaturbegeisterten, die Ihrem Text eine ernsthafte und fundierte Kritik spenden. Das Publikum wechselt. Es ist gemischt, geeint durch das Interesse an Texten. Die Autorinnen und Autoren des Abends lesen aus ihren bislang unveröffentlichten Kurzgeschichten, lyrischen Texten, Erzählungen, Romanen, manchmal auch aus Theaterstücken. Die Autoren stellen nicht sich selbst, sondern ihre Texte der Kritik. Wir verstehen uns als Arbeitsbühne. Deshalb wird bei uns nach den Lesungen nicht geklatscht. Die Texte werden nach der Lesung des Autors auf handwerkliche Stärken und Schwächen „abgeklopft“. Es geht im Forum daher nicht um weltanschauliche Debatten. Im Idealfall hat der Autor/die Autorin nach einer Lesung und der Kritik verstanden, wo die Stärken und Schwächen seines Textes liegen, woran es seinem Text noch fehlt, was er ändern sollte und wo er bei seiner Überarbeitung ansetzen kann. Der Abend endet gegen 22.00. Im Anschluss können Sie mit den Autoren im Café der Schwartzschen Villa noch ins Gespräch kommen und manches aus dem Literaturbetrieb erfahren. Wir sind im Kontakt auch mit namhaften Vertretern desselben. Also – nicht gleich verschwinden! Dranbleiben. Reden Sie mit den Forumianern! ## Sie möchten selbst lesen? Wenn Sie selbst im Autorenforum lesen wollen, gibt es einige Dinge zu beachten. Wir bitten Sie sehr herzlich, sich mindestens einmal vor Ihrer ersten Lesung bei uns mit unseren Gegebenheiten vertraut zu machen. Ihren Lesewunsch können Sie dann ab 19.30 Uhr (Einlass) bei der Moderatorin oder dem Moderator eines Leseabends anmelden. **Wir weisen ausdrücklich daraufhin, dass über die Annahme und Reihenfolge der Lesungen die jeweiligen Moderatoren entscheiden und es NICHT zwingend nach der Reihenfolge der Anmeldungen geht!** In der Regel reicht die Zeit nur für drei Autoren je Abend und die Nachfrage ist oft recht hoch. Falls Sie einen lyrischen Text vortragen möchten, bringen Sie bitte mindestens 10 (zehn) Kopien mit, damit Ihr Publikum mitlesen kann. Die Kopien erhalten Sie selbstverständlich zurück. # Wie üben wir Textkritik? Nach der Idee von Maik Turni ## **Anschleichen** **Wie wirkt der Text auf mich?** (Keine Angst vor Adjektiven! ) **Was habe ich gehört?** (Zusammenfassung (Nacherzählung)) **Was blieb unverstanden** (akustisch oder logisch) ## **Unter der Lupe** **Was ist das für ein Text?** (Prosa: Genre? Lyrik: Welche Art lyrischer Text?) **Thema** (Welches Thema berührt der Text? Hat der Autor sein Thema im Griff? Ist es überzeugend/plausibel/gut recherchiert, vielleicht sogar zu faktenreich?) **Figuren** (Wie wirken die Figuren? Wer ist die Hauptfigur? Welches Problem hat die Hauptfigur?) **Perspektive** (Wie verhält sich die Erzählperspektive zum Thema / zu den Figuren?) **Sprache** (Welche Bilder sind stimmig / welche nicht? Was lässt sich zum Rhythmus sagen? Sind die Sätze syntaktisch und grammatikalisch korrekt?) **Dramaturgie** (Schafft der Text es, Spannung zu erzeugen? In welcher Reihenfolge werden die Dinge erzählt?) **Bedeutung** (Gelingt es dem Autor, die Bedeutung, die er seinem Text geben will, auch im Leser entstehen zu lassen?) ## **Klarspüler** Fragen werden an den Text gestellt, nicht an den Autor! Daher sollte der Text antworten. ## **Weichspüler** Wird bei uns nicht verwendet. Aber es gilt: Nicht der Autor wird kritisiert, sondern der Text! Hart zum Text, sanft zum Autor!

##### VIBRANT BODY ##### **with** *Soroa Lear* **for LGBTQIA+ people with experiences of migration and/or displacement** free event with **[registration](https://wearevillage.org/en/shop/queer-bridges-monday/w10-2026)** **VIBRANT BODY** is a guided improvisational movement practice where groove, sensation, and a commitment to bodily pleasure guide how we move. Through dancing, we step out of the head and into the body, connecting with joy, drama, heartache, grief, and our simple capacity for fun. Oriented toward felt experience rather than visual aesthetics, Vibrant Body invites a sensorial exploration of movement as it is lived. It offers migrant bodies a space to reconnect with the body as home, reclaim pleasure and agency, and transform displacement into connection and belonging through shared movement. The practice recognizes the quiet politics of bodies dancing together, especially when pleasure is centered. Open to all movement backgrounds, Vibrant Body offers an inclusive space for queer migrant identities to meet the body as it is and feel at home in their skin. **General Information** **Queer Bridges: Forging connections and providing resources for LGBTQIA+ people with migration experiences.** **Participants**: This workshop is for all who identify as LGBTQ+ and have **experienced migration and/or displacement**.

Sie lädt dazu ein, aus dem Kopf in den Körper zu kommen und sich durch Bewegung mit Freude, Trauer und unserer Fähigkeit zu Spiel und Vergnügen zu verbinden. Im Fokus steht das körperliche Erleben statt äußere Erscheinung. **Vibrant Body** bietet einen inklusiven Raum für queere migrantische Identitäten dem Körper so zu begegnen, wie er ist, und sich in der eigenen Haut zuhause zu fühlen. **Hinweise** **Queer Bridges: Verbindungen schaffen und Ressourcen für LGBTQIA+ Menschen mit Migrationserfahrung bereitstellen.** **Teilnehmende**: Dieser Workshop richtet sich an alle, die sich als LGBTQIA+ identifizieren und Migrations- und/oder Fluchterfahrung erlebt haben.

We'll start off the session with a run in Gleisdreieck park that might include scaling some walls, visiting a few sites in the area to explore their opportunities for climbing and balancing, or going up or down stairs in unusual ways. After the outdoors bit, we come back to our gym where we focus on building strength, working as a group, and learning basic martial arts techniques. We are a small, accessible, mixed-gender, queer-friendly group open to anyone, without any prior knowledge or specific degree of fitness required. Our martial art is Jutaijutsu, a traditional Japanese one focused on self-defence. Sounds interesting? We'd love for you to drop by and join us. You'll need running shoes and comfortable workout clothes, including a raincoat or the like for the park if the weather is bad. Once indoors, we train barefoot. The first three Meetups are free of charge. If you'd like to join our group beyond that, we would ask you to join our association, https://yanagi.berlin, a martial arts school based in Berlin. Membership there is 30 EUR/month and you will be able to train three times a week.
