Kino im Salon | Erlesene Filme: Das Kapital im 21. Jahrhundert

This film is more than a documentary - it is a powerful reflection on wealth, power and social justice. Based on Thomas Piketty's seminal work, the film takes us into the depths of economic history and shows how capital has been concentrated over the centuries. With impressive images and a clear narrative style, it traces the development of inequality and makes visible what often remains hidden.

From the feudal aristocracy to industrialization and today's era of financial capitalism, it becomes clear that patterns of wealth distribution are always repeated. The film vividly shows how power accumulates in a few hands - a development that threatens the social balance.

However, "Capital in the 21st Century" is not a resigned lament, but an invitation to reflect. With analyses, interviews and historical examples, the film encourages us to look for solutions for a fairer future. It opens our eyes to the mechanisms that shape our world and asks the crucial question: does it have to stay that way?

Lights out and movie off - once a month, the Kultur: Haus Dacheröden shows selected literary adaptations with a short introduction. If you prefer an intimate, cozy atmosphere to a large cinema hall, this is the place for you. Experience the films by candlelight, with a cool drink and a few snacks. We present adaptations of classic and contemporary literature - from "Tschick" to "Nackt unter Wölfen", from new to old. A short introduction before the start of the screening by the Erfurt filmmaker and curator of the event series Susanne Aßmann gives an overview of the background to the film.

Length: 103 minutes
