THE FILM
Le Paradis - Director: Zeno Graton - BE/FR 2023 - 83min - OmU (French with German subtitles) - FSK 12/ recommended for ages 14 and up
In a juvenile detention center, 17-year-old Joe prepares for his return to society, unsure of what life awaits him beyond the walls. But when newcomer William moves into the cell next door, Joe's longing for freedom is replaced by a different desire. The two convicts orbit each other with growing desire - until the chance to escape together presents itself.

THE PROJECT
Young people from the Krebelshof youth center, the Magnet and Villa OTs and the Bauwagen youth club watched films on ten different dates. The Filmhaus Köln selected a selection of feature-length films from the Berlinale Generation 14plus section. Finally, the project participants decided on three films.
The open-air cinema in Volkhoven is therefore entering its second round this year. After the cinema had to move from the Generationenpark to the Villa after the first screening last year, this year it is taking place at a new location: on the grounds of the Simultanhalle.
