Staying Alive: The Films of Christian Petzold | Free Films for U25

Lauded for reigniting German filmmaking, Petzold – amongst others – presents visually intelligent, psychologically sophisticated movies bending traditional genres ranging from classical Hollywood to avant-garde. Petzold’s films have a knack for revealing a voracious curiosity and passion for knowledge and culture as depicted in his more recent films Phoenix and Afire. We invite you to experience this collective – one of the largest ever assembled on the director’s work — as a rare opportunity to see Petzold’s 15 features, an endlessly beguiling, allusion-rich, and rigorous oeuvre by one of the greatest auteur filmmakers of his generation.
