inviting you to their Open Day on 7 September 2019, 1-6

would like to present both, our historical building, the Mittelhof,
and our current research. Our staff will offer guided tours through
the building and a number of short lectures on their research
projects. There will also be a screening of a short film and a
concert in the evening. As in the past years, we are offering a
special programme for the children, food and beverages.
Please be aware that there is no S-Bahn service to Nikolassee this
week. You can either take the shuttle service for S7 from Messe
Süd to Nikolassee or the shuttle service for S1 from
Schlachtensee to Nikolassee.

Reconfiguring the
Post-Colonial City through Filmic Documentation
Keynote
lecture by filmmaker, film curator, and film scholar
Viola Shafik, PhD,
as part of the Workshop "Cinema
and the City" (12-13 September,
ZMO)
Some of the oldest and most interesting non-fiction
films in history - most notably from Germany and the USSR during
the 1920s - deal with cities from the point of view of modernist
and futurist arts and in a moment of extreme social upheavals. In
the Middle East and North Africa in the 1960s avantgarde and
agitprop filmmakers have likewise approached the urbanity of their
native cities within their own then socio-political and cultural
context and, thus, produced highly complex cinematic
representations of past, present and future...

In the
Last Days of the City
Film screening and
Q&A with the director Tamer El Said,
as part of the Workshop "Cinema
and the City" (12-13 September,
ZMO)
In the Last Days of the City is the debut
feature of filmmaker Tamer El Said. It tells the fictional story of
a filmmaker from downtown Cairo played by Khalid Abdalla (The Kite
Runner, United 93, The Square) as he struggles to capture the soul
of a city on edge while facing loss in his own life. Shot in Cairo,
Beirut, Baghdad and Berlin during the two years before the outbreak
of revolution in Egypt, the film’s multi-layered stories are
a visually rich exploration of friendship, loneliness, loss and
life in cities shaped by the shadows of war and adversity.

Re-thinking towards
we-thinking. Reflections on epistemic decolonization
Lecture by Prof
Claudia Derichs (Institut für Asien- und Afrikawissenschaften,
HU Berlin) as part of the
ZMO-Colloquium
Claudia Derichs is going to open the ZMO-Colloquium 2019/20: "Thinking and
re-thinking the world in the decolonial era: thinkers and
theorizing from the global South"
In her lecture, Derichs is asking: Why is it that too
many intellectual cultures, intellectual histories, and theoretical
contributions of individual thinkers from economically and
politically marginalized regions of the world in the so-called
"global South" are still little known, underexplored and
undervalued? She wants to reflect on this from three different but
mutually entangled perspectives.
