ETTY – Kinopremiere mit Gästen & Panel „Fürsorge unter Druck“

In the organizer's words:

As part of an international cinema tour with stops in Amsterdam, Berlin, Rome, Paris, Tel Aviv and London, among others, ETTY can now also be seen in cinemas in Hamburg for the first time - before its release on ARTE.

While fascism is on the rise in Amsterdam, the Jewish student Etty seeks refuge with the older, unconventional psychobiologist Julius Spier. The six-part drama series is inspired by the writings of Dutch Jewish intellectual Etty Hillesum, who was murdered in Auschwitz in 1943. Director Hagai Levi brings her story into the present day.

From 9 p.m. panel on care under pressure -- mental health in times of right-wing violence.

Following the screening, lead actress Julia Windischbauer, Christina Feist and Nina Fraeser - moderated by Kristina Omelchenko - will discuss the importance of self-determination and care in times of increasing right-wing violence. Based on the series, which interweaves historical experience with contemporary images, the focus is on the question of how people remain capable of acting in the face of fear, disenfranchisement and social pressure and what role attitude, solidarity and self and community care play in this.

Julia Windischbauer - actress and filmmaker. She plays Etty Hillesum; ensemble member at the Burgtheater Vienna, awarded the Max Ophüls Prize and the Diagonale Acting Prize, among others.

Christina Feist - historian, philosopher and journalist. Survivor of the right-wing terrorist attack in Halle (Saale) in 2019; committed to victims' rights, victim protection and a victim-centered culture of remembrance.
