💬 2026 Theme: Spaces in Transition

Flimmergarten 2026 invites you to enjoy films about staying and leaving, about families, memory, and new homes. Against a backdrop of Leipzig’s history, migration, social change, and personal struggles, stories of belonging, transformation, and hope emerge.

🎵 Four evenings filled with films, discussions, and music exploring origins, loss, love, and the question: What does “home” really mean?

🕊️ The event is sponsored by the City of Leipzig’s Cultural Affairs Office and the Heidehof Foundation.
