*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.* Im Rahmen der siebten Veranstaltung unserer Reihe „Film ab!“ im Goethe-Institut Berlin widmen wir uns dem Dokumentarfilm (IN)VISIBLE LINES (2026) von Paula und Lena Boden. Im Anschluss an die Vorführung hat das Publikum die wunderbare Gelegenheit, mit Paula und Lena Boden ins Gespräch zu kommen. Der Kurzfilm ist mehrsprachig mit englischen Untertiteln, die Diskussion findet auf Deutsch statt. **Zum Film** Originaltitel: (IN)VISIBLE LINES Jahr: 2026 Land: Deutschland Länge: 69 Minuten Sprachen: Deutsch Untertitel: Englisch **Zusammenfassung** Tania, Mariam, Moqadas, Anastasiia, Larysa, Nazanin und Leila sind sieben Frauen, die in Deutschland Zuflucht gesucht haben und sich nun unermüdlich gegen das europäische Migrationssystem einsetzen. (IN)VISIBLE LINES basiert auf ihren Lebenserfahrungen, ihrem Wissen und ihrer unerschütterlichen Widerstandsfähigkeit. Im Film wählt jede Protagonistin den Schwerpunkt ihrer Erfahrungen selbst und hebt im Verlauf der Geschichte ihre besondere Widerstandskraft hervor. Sei es ihre Ausdauer beim Deutschlernen und beim Verstehen der Behördensprache sowie der gesellschaftlichen Verhaltensweisen oder ihr notwendiger Mut bei der Bewerbung um Ausbildungsprogramme – ihre Hoffnung auf eine sicherere Zukunft wird in jeder Geschichte deutlich. So bilden die individuellen Geschichten schließlich eine kollektive Erfahrung: weiterzumachen. Indem (IN)VISIBLE LINES gelebte Erfahrungen und deren Erzählung in den Mittelpunkt stellt – mit einer umsichtigen, vollständig von FLINTA\*-Personen geführten Kameraführung und Schnitttechnik – bietet der Film eine wichtige Gegenerzählung zu einem entmenschlichenden Diskurs über Migration. Er lädt das Publikum in einen Raum des Zuhörens und des Teilens ein. **Paula Boden** *Regisseurin* Paula ist Berlinerin und studierte Security Risk Management im Master in Kopenhagen, Dänemark – mit Fokus auf Migration, Klima und Human Security. Der Feature-Film (IN)VISIBLE LINES begann als Projekt im Rahmen der Masterarbeit zum Dokumentarfilm in Internationalen Beziehungen und wurde nun zu einem langfristigen Dokumentarfilmprojekt. In Kopenhagen produzierte sie darüber hinaus ihren ersten Kurz-Dokumentarfilm Wings, Clipped, den sie journalistisch und wissenschaftlich begleitete. Zuletzt arbeitete sie bei der Münchner Sicherheitskonferenz im Policy Team. Ihren Bachelor absolvierte sie in Politikwissenschaft und Öffentlichem Recht in Regensburg. Ihre berufliche Laufbahn begann mit journalistischen Praktika in Köln und Hamburg und später als Politische Bildnerin in der Europäischen Akademie Berlin. **Lena Boden** *Creative Producerin* Lena wuchs in Berlin auf und entdeckte früh ihre Leidenschaft für Inszenierung und Drehbucharbeit. Ihr Studium der Medienkommunikation vermittelte ihr die theoretischen Grundlagen der Filmproduktion, die sie als langjährige Produktionsassistentin bei imagis Filmproduktion praktisch vertiefen konnte. Durch mehrere Praktika in Dokumentarfilmproduktionen in Köln und eigene Filmprojekte erweiterte sie ihr Fachwissen gezielt, sodass sie 2025 als Creative Producerin ihren ersten Feature-Length Dokumentarfilm produzierte.

## 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!

### Open Platform for Writers to connect, share & grow. Together. ‍ We create a safe space to be creative, connect through writing and give and receive feedback from each other. Get ready for bringing in different writing styles and helping each other improve our own writing skills and get to know some new friends.

We invite you to take part in a shared cinematic experience built around reflection, atmosphere, and meaningful conversation. **Tokyo Story** by **Yasujirō Ozu** is one of the great classics of Japanese cinema, a quiet and deeply moving film about family, time, distance, and the emotional changes brought by modern life. The story follows an elderly couple who travel from their hometown to Tokyo to visit their adult children. Although their children are polite, they are also busy, distracted, and unable to give their parents the attention and care they had hoped for. Rather than relying on dramatic conflict, the film unfolds through small gestures, silences, everyday conversations, and moments of emotional restraint. Ozu creates a world where sadness, love, disappointment, and acceptance appear with extraordinary subtlety. The film asks us to reflect on generational change, the fragility of family bonds, loneliness, and the quiet dignity of ordinary lives. More than a family drama, **Tokyo Story** is a profound meditation on human relationships and the passage of time. Its calm rhythm, precise compositions, and understated performances invite viewers to slow down and pay attention to what is often left unsaid. Each viewer may recognize something personal in the film: the distance between parents and children, the difficulty of expressing care, or the painful beauty of impermanence. **1\. Please watch the film in advance:** 🎬 **Watch Tokyo Story here:** [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1RV-bnqQdPw](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1RV-bnqQdPw) **Movie details:** 🎥 **TOKYO STORY** **Language:** Japanese ( with english subtitles) 🎞️ **Duration:** 136 min 🎬 **Director:** Yasujirō Ozu 📅 **Year:** 1953 **2\. Meeting in person:** We will come together to discuss our experiences, thoughts, and interpretations of the film: 📅 **Friday, 22.05.2026** 🕕 **18:00** 📍 **Volksbar – Rosa-Luxemburg-Straße 39, 10178 Berlin** 👉 **Join our WhatsApp group** to chat about the film and coordinate meeting at the bar! [Group Chat](https://chat.whatsapp.com/J1PU7iWTNeBLQ4oRz27grV) ⚠️ Note: This is a WhatsApp group link. If it doesn’t open in the Meetup app, please copy & paste it into your browser or open it in the WhatsApp app. We will meet at a bar for an informal discussion about our experience of the film, giving everyone the opportunity to share their thoughts and connect with fellow cinema enthusiasts.

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.
