Lighting Up History: The Cinematic Showcase on Chemnitz Town Hall
A Century of Cinematic Tradition: Exploring Film History from Chemnitz to the Ore Mountains
Step into the time machine as Chemnitz Town Hall turns into an open-air cinema every twilight! From Jan 21st, this fascinating transformation unfolds under the banner "100 Years of Film Culture between Chemnitz and the Ore Mountains". This spectacle projects a treasure trove of historical footage from the state program "SAVE - Preservation of Audiovisual Heritage in Saxony".
The screen dazzles with captivating scenes from the town's past - from the bustling "Annaberg Coal Mine 1949" to the traditional crafts of the Ore Mountains, and the legendary motorcycle races on the Sachsenring in the 1930s. Celebrations, everyday life, and experimental art from the DDR underground scene of the 1980s are all part of the mix!
This collaboration between SAVE and C3 Chemnitz Event Centers GmbH is a funded part of Chemnitz's journey towards the title European Capital of Culture 2025, echoing their motto "C the Unseen". As the forgotten tales and fading memories of the region spring back to life, the projection invites you to unwind a continental cinematic saga!
