    Finding Connection

    OmdtU

    In a world where digital distance reshapes human bonds, genuine closeness has become a fragile treasure. Finding Connection follows those yearning for trust and emotional intimacy, only to discover an unexpected anchor in the algorithms of AI. The deeply personal exchanges between humans and machines give rise to questions that echo long after the credits roll. The film’s perspective remains refreshingly unbiased, inviting reflection rather than judgment.

  7. 48/49 - Revolution in Baden.

    154 min

    In September 1847, the people gathered at the “Salmen” inn in Offenburg and put forward 13 demands: freedom of the press, trial by jury, fair taxation and a parliament representing the people. What began as a protest became the revolution in Baden. In April 1848, Friedrich Hecker set out from Konstanz with a volunteer militia, in September Gustav Struve proclaimed the republic in Lörrach, and in May 1849 the Baden army went over to the people. Grand Duke Leopold fled and a provisional government took control of the country. Only Prussian troops brought the Baden Revolution to an end: on 23 July 1849, the fortress of Rastatt surrendered.
