Presented by The Brattle, Wicked Queer and the Goethe-Institut
The Goethe-Institut is thrilled to partner with The Brattle and Wicked Queer for this special program of film screenings, featuring groundbreaking contributions of German filmmakers and offering a diverse array of films exploring the lives and experiences of LGBTQ+ individuals and communities. Curated by Anne Dymek, Harvard University, this series is a rare opportunity to see some of the most important queer cinema from the first half of the 20th century alongside groundbreaking work from the 1970s through today. Dymek and her students will provide introductions to each film, creating a forum for thought and conversation.
As a new student at an all-girls boarding school, Manuela falls in love with the compassionate teacher Fräulein von Bernburg, and her feelings are requited. Experiencing her first love, lonely Manuela also discovers the complexities that come with an illicit romance. This artfully composed landmark of lesbian cinema—and an important anti-fascist film—was the first of just three films directed by Leontine Sagan. – KinoLorber Films
