Further information on the film "Bicycle Thieves"
Rome: After the Second World War, everyone is looking for work. This includes Antonio, who lives with his wife and son in poor circumstances and finally gets a permanent job as a poster sticker. The only requirement for the job: a bicycle. Antonio's bike is stolen on his very first day. The pursuit of the thief is manipulated by two accomplices and further attempts to get his bike back fail. After the war, many people found themselves in the unmanageable city, feeling desperate and powerless in the face of difficult living conditions.
Programme for the 2024 summer semester: "CineCity"
The student-run arthouse cinema "Lichtblick" has been organising a film series in the Pollux cinema every semester since 2003, showing selected classics, cult films and curiosities. The new programme for the 2024 summer semester, "CineCity", focuses on the city in film. Whether realistically documented or fantastically staged, the big city exerts a special fascination for film. The urbanisation of the 20th century led to the emergence of a mass culture in which cinema also played its part. But the big city and film are also intrinsically linked. Industry, fast means of transport and a high population density characterise the city as a place of acceleration.
Further information and the complete programme can be found on the website of the "Lichtblick" arthouse cinema.
