A small holiday house by the Baltic Sea. The days are hot, and it hasn’t rained in weeks. Four young people come together, friends old and new. As the parched forests around them begin to ignite, so do their emotions. Happiness, lust and love; but also, jealousies, resentments and tensions. Meanwhile, the forests burn. And before long, the flames are there.
Petzold’s “Afire” was included in the competition programme of the 2023 Berlin Film Festival and won the Silver Bear – the main jury prize.
In cooperation with the European Film Academy, the European Film Month will take place from November 1st to December 7th at cinema Sõprus.
During six weeks, we will bring to the audience more than 30 films from contemporary European cinema classics. The focus of the program selection is the strong European auteur cinema of the last decades - Ruben Östlund, Paolo Sorrentino, Aki Kaurismäki, Paul Verhoeven, Yorgos Lanthimos, Pedro Almodóvar and Lars von Trier are just a few names in the program.
Signature directors have always been the strength of Sõprus cinema, and through these names we highlight dignified, versatile and extremely colorful European cinema in the cinema.
The screenings of the European Film Month will take place in Sõprus Kai Hall, Noblessner.
A special ticket price of 5 euros applies to the sessions held within the program.
