What does the cinema of the 21st century look like?
The Humboldt Forum has invited five experienced initiatives from Africa to discuss ideas together and to develop new, practice-oriented concepts and strategies for cinema as a venue. The joint vision and aspiration of the Cinema Spaces Network (CSN) is to link the social and political aspects of cinema – from the revitalisation of closed cinemas to the construction of new venues for cinematic screenings – with sustainable business models. The network focuses on site-specific, achievable and innovative approaches.
