„A man will be forgotten in time and noone will remember our work“, as Derek Jarman said, angry and close to death, in his last film BLUE.

And Derek Jarman, one of the most important voices of the 1970s, -80s and -90s, is still not forgotten. On January 31st the filmmaker, artist and queer campaigner, who died in 1994, would have turned 80. To mark the occasion the British Film Institute has digitised and restored several of Jarman's films.

If you wish to experience (or experience again) the love, the revolutionary power and the corporeality of cinema, you should watch the films of Derek Jarman. There will be opportunities at the Brotfabrik Kino, which will show CARAVAGGIO (January 29th. & 30th), WAR REQUIEM (January 31st & February 1st) and EDWARD II. (February 2nd). The Klick Kino will show EDWARD II. on January 31st with an introduction (in German, probably) by Björn Koll und Wieland. The fsk-Kino has also announced plans for a hommage.
