Von Literatur zu Film - Fabian oder der Gang vor die Hunde
In the organizer's words:
"The book is better." - is one of the best-known phrases that moviegoers say about literary adaptations, at least if they have seen both media. But what happens when you approach a film adaptation from both a literary and a cinematic perspective?
FROM LITERATURE TO FILM is the approach from a cinematic perspective, represented by Sven Ollig, Theater Director Apollo Kino Aachen, and a literary perspective, represented by Dr. Nina Janz, research assistant in the Department of German Studies at RWTH Aachen University. Together we curate the film selection, non-German-language films are presented in the OmU version, which has been deliberately kept open in terms of both film and literature.
The events always take place on the second Thursday of each month at 6.00 pm. In addition to the film screening, the series of events includes a short impulse from both of them as well as a film discussion with the audience after the screening. All films are shown without advertising and, if possible, trailers of upcoming films from the program series are shown at the beginning of the event.
The Backhaus bookshop provides an individually designed book table for each event, where books can also be purchased.
This time we also welcome Prof. Dr. Stephan Braese as a guest. Professor of European-Jewish Literature and Cultural History at RWTH Aachen University
About the movie:
In 1931 Berlin, the German scholar and advertising copywriter Jakob Fabian (Tom Schilling) drifts through life. While he is responsible for advertising for a cigarette company during the day, he is often out and about at night with his fellow student Labude (Albrecht Schuch), making the underworld pubs, brothels and artists' studios unsafe. The carefree life of the two young men is increasingly threatened by a society divided by Communists and National Socialists, and Labude also dreams of the classes revolutionizing against the authorities. Fabian can't make much sense of the political upheaval and comments on the events ironically. One day, he meets Cornelia (Saskia Rosendahl) in a studio and falls in love with her at first sight. Fabian's naive life takes a dramatic turn when he falls victim to a wave of redundancies, but Cornelia's career as an actress takes off...
Based on Erich Kästner's novel "Der Gang vor die Hunde", which is a reconstruction of the original version of the novel "Fabian".
