Kino im Blauen Salon, the student cinema at the Hochschule für Gestaltung, has been run by students since 2017 and has been a registered association since the beginning of 2024.
This semester, Kino im Blauen Salon invites you to the new series Cinema of Colors, in which ten films to the fascinating phenomenon of color in cinema has been chosen: How does it come about, how does it work, what does it tell…? After all, apart from time, there is probably nothing more essential than light and color, which feed our lives and our projectors. While black and white dominated early cinema for decades, the introduction of Technicolor in the 1930s ushered in a new era for our viewing habits: Color sticks deep in our memory as an emotion. Who could forget the girl’s coat in SCHINDLER’S LIST? Why can you immediately recognize a Wes Anderson film by its look, and what color is the MATRIX again?
The program spans the entire winter semester like a rainbow and shows that the Blauer Salon is not resting on its monochrome reputation. On the contrary, the association is growing and thriving, and to celebrate they are also introducing two new series this semester, which will be returning to more often: the DOUBLE-FEATURE and the KULT SNEAK. And it goes without saying that the must-attend event JAZZ IM BLAUEN SALON is a must.
A total of 10 films of various genres from 10 different production countries and 10 decades will be shown. For further information please visit https://kinoimblauensalon.de/de/news.
