CINEMA FOR DEMOCRACY - CONFRONTING THE RISE OF THE RIGHT

In a world where democracy is under threat from rising right-wing movements, the power of film has never been more vital. The ""Film & Democracy"" network, composed of dedicated film and media professionals, is at the forefront of the fight to preserve our democratic values and the diversity of our media culture. Join us as we explore how this influential network and the wider film industry are integral to the societal struggle against the encroachment of the far right. We'll discuss the challenges faced in safeguarding media diversity, artistic freedom, and financial support for the arts. Learn about the role of cinema in creating 'campfires' – gathering spaces for open dialogue and shared experiences. Discover what political actions are essential to protect the industry and promote a resilient democracy. The Bavarian Green Party parliamentary group warmly invites you to this engaging panel discussion and dialogue at the Bavarian State Parliament.
