Steeler Straße 208-212, 45138 Essen
The Eulenspiegel was built on a bombsite on Steeler Straße in 1955 as the local cinema for Huttrop, Bergerhausen and Frillendorf, and its 1950s fabric is now a listed monument. Since 1980 it has been an arthouse house, run by the association Filmkunst und Kinokultur Essen, which operates three cinemas in the city and belongs to Europa Cinemas. One hall of 288 seats with generous legroom faces a screen of 100 square metres. Alongside digital projection the booth still runs 35mm and 70mm, which is why large-format classics turn up here. Two silent-film organs, a Wurlitzer and a Kimball, accompany silent screenings. A small cinema museum sits in the foyer and there is a café. The week mixes arthouse releases, some in the original language, with classics, children's shows and a monthly sneak preview.
Farasha and Faris are 20 when they meet at a graduation party – one glance that changes everything. But Farasha dies that very same night. Refusing to be separated from him, she discovers a way to cross the boundary between worlds: for 40 nights, and 40 nights only, she can meet Faris in his dreams. And so their love continues to grow, until the very last night.
A student named Nivedita finds an old photo of her professor and discovers the latter had been living a lie. Saraswati, of all people — a woman of color who lectures on cultural identity — is in fact white. While the media and online community whip up a frenzy, Nivedita faces a political and personal dilemma as she tries to find out Saraswati's motive.
