In the organizer's words:

To mark the 30th anniversary of Depot e.V., SweetSixteen Kino is showing a film from the founding year 1995 on the second Friday of every month.

Depot e.V. was founded as an association 30 years ago. Originating from the search for suitable spaces and opportunities to work artistically and creatively, the association came across the abandoned tram depot in Immermannstraße. Driven by unbridled passion and a thirst for action, a large circle of users and supporters quickly came together. Workshops, studios and event rooms were created with a great deal of personal effort. In 2001, after a lengthy renovation phase, the depot as you know it today was opened. In the meantime, more than 40 users from different areas of the art and culture industry are based and working at the depot.

The sweetSixteen cinema joined a little later, but took the Depot anniversary as an opportunity to take a look back at film history. Which films were shown in the arthouse cinemas in 1995, which may have become classics or cult films and which ones we particularly liked. The result is a small film series with what we consider to be particularly beautiful, important and formative films from 1995.

Every second Friday at 19:00, we cordially invite you to join us on this journey into the past and watch favorite films that have not been seen for a long time (or perhaps never before).

THE FILM

Black Cat, White Cat
(Tragicomedy, DE/FR/YU 1997, 129 min, FSK: from 6 years, Director: Emir Kusturica)

Emir Kusturica originally planned to make a documentary about traditional weddings in Roma communities. But what he saw and experienced during his research fascinated him so much that he turned it into a feature film - full of joie de vivre, quirky twists and turns and lovingly drawn characters. At the center is Matko Destanov (Barjram Severdzan), a lovable small-time crook who keeps his head above water with smuggling and small businesses. In search of the big score, he borrows money from the local godfather Pitic (Sabri Sulejmani). Together with his son Dadan (Srdan Todorovic), Matko tries to put his plan into action - until everything goes spectacularly wrong. Additional turbulence arises when Dadan decides to marry off his sister (Salija Ibraimova) to Matko's son Zare (Florijan Ajdini). During the chaotic wedding celebration, events escalate in wonderfully absurd ways - typical of Kusturica's warm-hearted, humorous style.
