Three generations will discuss the current political situation in Hungary in the second episode of “Break-Up”, the new series of Berliner Korrespondenzen. Kicking off with a speech by the essayist László Földényi, the event features the premiere of a documentary short film on the protest movement  FreeSZFE. It recounts last year’s blockade of the University of Theater and Film in Budapest by students. In the ensuing debate (moderator: Anna Faur), historian György Dalos, director Kornél Mundruzcó and Kata Csató, president of FreeSZFE, will put the students’ protest into historical and political context. How does it relate to past movements, what does it tell us about the state of freedom of expression in Hungary and what effects could ithave on next year’s elections?

From now until 3 December 2021, artists from different disciplines can apply for a four to eight month stay at the Tarabya Cultural Academy in Istanbul. Turkish-German co-production grants will be awarded to tandems of cultural professionals from Germany and Turkey. Artists living and working in Germany can apply for regular scholarships. 

The residency is intended to provide residents with inspiration and the opportunity to develop their work further and at the same time to develop a network with the Turkish cultural scene.
