Belleville. Belle et rebelle

Cinema evening for Viva La Bernie: Together for the future of St. Pauli

Time is of the essence - Viva La Bernie is facing a decisive hurdle: 3.2 million euros must be raised by the end of the year to buy back the historic courtyard site between Bernstorffstrasse and Thadenstrasse and take it off the real estate market permanently. The initiative would like to attract new supporters and appeal to the people of Hamburg with a special movie night.

An evening for art, community and boundless solidarity
The evening will focus on the film "Belleville - Belle et Rebelle", an inspiring story about creative resilience and the preservation of living spaces. Free admission, and viewers can expect not only a cinematic experience, but also the opportunity to become part of a unique project.

Guests: Director Daniela Abke, Joseph Pantaleo (protagonist), Riton la Manivelle (protagonist)

Paris, Belleville: Unyielding, irrepressible, timeless. French history that defies and endures. Based on a street corner, the film portrays a neighborhood that has become a home to foreigners. Shaped by the migrations of the past centuries, by craftsmanship and revolt, Belleville sings us its songs of love and struggle. The regulars of Le Vieux Belleville - charming and idiosyncratic - carry the film in a similar way to the French "film choral": Joseph, café owner and chronicler; Minelle, singer and accordionist with infectious energy; Robert Bober, Truffaut's assistant director, writer, photographer and filmmaker; Riton la Manivelle, baritone and barrel organ player; Steven, Scottish bistro and mural painter. And Lucio Urtubia, bricklayer, Basque and anarchist, check forger wanted by Interpol, who runs the Espace Louise Michel cultural center. - An event in cooperation with the Hamburg courtyard community Viva la Bernie.
