World Views
As the name suggests, the World Views series offers a broad selection of films from many different countries and cultures. The themes of the series are openness, understanding, tolerance and forms of dialogue that embrace diversity.
Women with and without migration backrounds, women who have experienced displacement, their families, and everyone who enjoys watching good films are invited to attend our film series World Views. The discussions that take place after the screenings – sometimes with guests – are often impassioned, lively and always based on mutual respect.
Admission is free for all events.
Classics of Arab cinema are shown such as: Sukkar banat (Director: Nadine Labaki), award winning documentaries such as In Search… (Director: Beryl Magoko) or Invisibles (Director: Louis-Julien Petit) , heartbreaking comedies like Rosas Hochzeit (Director: Icíar Bollaín) to unforgettable cinema highlights like Sweet Bean (Director: Naomi Kawase), Adam (Director: Maryam Touzani) and Mustang (Director: Deniz Gamze Ergüven). Children’s films are shown twice a year.
World Views Dortmund takes place every second Sunday of the month at 3 pm (new location!) at the Schauburg cinema.
World Views Cologne takes place every first Sunday of the month at 12 noon at the Odeon cinema.
World Views was initiated by IFFF Dortmund+Köln.
In Dortmund, the World Views was founded in 2015 in cooperation with the Dortmunder Forum Frau und Wirtschaft e. V. and Gleichstellungsbüro der Stadt Dortmund. After many years of fruitful collaboration, the Gleichstellungsbüro der Stadt Dortmund and the dffw parted ways as permanent cooperation partners at the end of 2025; in the future, they will participate in individual film events. Since 2026, we have been able to win the Türkische Filmtage Dortmund as a new partner for the series.
The venue in Dortmund has also changed in 2026. After many years of cooperation with the Kino im U at Dortmunder U – Zentrum für Kunst und Kreativität, »Kino Weltsichten« takes place in our familiar festival cinema, the Schauburg Dortmund.
Thanks to its great success World Views has expanded to Cologne in 2021, where we present the series in cooperation with Odeon Kino Köln supperted by Kulturamt der Stadt Köln.
