The Concept: Culture, Dialogue, and Community
The Kulturschlachthof Jena, operated by Freiraum Jena e.V., is continuously establishing itself as an important socio-cultural meeting point in the city. Alongside established summer formats such as the Sommerspektakel of the Theaterhaus Jena, the Filmbühne provides a space where pressing social issues are addressed through art and discourse.
The unique feature of this event series is the three-part combination of film screenings, thematic input with subsequent discussion, and the “Küche für Alle” (KüfA). Local collectives provide food at each event, while filmmakers, affected individuals, and experts are available for direct exchange with visitors.
