The moment when a film out of vision, becomes part of the (film) history. In other words if we talk about any film, which is right now not shown at movie theaters, we talk about film history or history of cinema. Ok, then where is this history? Of course in the archives. Virtually or physically the way we preserve film heritage, also defines the way we see and discuss it. Since 2017 Kino im Blauen Salon sources, acquires and preserves original film copies in various formats in its archival space at the third floor of Karlsruhe University of Arts Design, which was formerly utilised as an ammunition factory. Today no more bombs but ideas and forms produced here, but also saved and archived. KİBS not only programs the films but it also keeps its relation and function with physical film copies, namely celluloid reels.
Therefore, the winter semester will not only feature classics from the archive program, but also short films from the 30 years of HfG film history. In addition, audiences can look forward to recurring highlights such as the feature-length “Double Feature,” the “Midnight Movies,” a silent film concert with an electronic soundtrack, a night of short film with a book presentation by Dr. Marco Abel, and the open stage format “Jazz im Blauen Salon.” Once again, the cinema becomes a place where the past and present meet.
