We are screening the multi-award-winning feature film (including the Palme d’Or) by Ken Loach, the British master of working-class cinema: “I, Daniel Blake” (2016). The film will be shown in its original language with German subtitles.
We start at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, April 21, at the Lichtmess Cinema.
Distributor’s description: “Daniel Blake (Dave Johns) is a straightforward, average Englishman who pays his taxes and takes life as it comes. But one day, his health throws a wrench in his plans, and he finds himself dependent on government assistance.

They band together as a community bound by shared fate and, despite the constant snubs from the authorities, also experience a great deal of solidarity—from former colleagues, from volunteers at the food bank, and even from Daniel’s eccentric neighbor. But the bureaucratic pitfalls of the so-called welfare state are treacherous. Powerlessness turns to anger—and Daniel and Katie aren’t about to give up on their dreams and hopes that easily…”
