As we do every year, we are once again cooperating with the Austrian human rights film festival This human world this year. As part of the project Our Game for Human Rights, two films on the topic of “Sport & Human Rights” will be shown.
On Friday, December 6, at 7:30pm, the screening of the Colombian feature film LA SUPREMA will take place at Schikaneder: In a town that has been erased from the map, where there is not even electricity, a girl dreams of boxing. When she learns that her uncle will be boxing for the world title and that it will be broadcast live on television, she and her community try everything to follow the fight and at the same time fight against the oblivion of their village and its history.
And on Sunday, December 8, at 7:00pm, the feature film SAMIA will be shown at Top Kino. In this film, German director Yasemin Şamdereli tells the incredible story of Somali athlete Samia Yusuf Omar, who took part in the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing. After the screening of SAMIA, we would also like to invite you to an exciting panel discussion.
So save the date and we look forward to seeing you at the movies!
