SUBMARINE – ARCHIVE UNTIL 2020
Submarine: screenings and workshops
With a carefully curated line-up of films, this year’s Submarine focuses on the value of diversity. We all lead different lives. What makes someone happy might prevent others from living their dreams. Family situation or social background, personal traits, the desire to engage and be creative, or the desire for special adventures – all this enables us to broaden our horizons and increase our empathy. The selected films are about embracing diversity and overcoming the obstacles in life. Join us on this multifaceted journey exploring the beauty of life.
