World Views

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.

The programme is aimed especially at women with or without a migration background, but of course is also open to anyone who likes to watch quality films. The discussions that take place after the screenings – sometimes with guests – are often impassioned, lively and always based on mutual respect.

Films for children are screened twice a year.
Admission is free for all events.

World Views was initiated by IFFF Dortmund+Köln.

It is carried out as part of the project »Betriebliches Mentoring für geflüchtete Frauen« (PerMenti) organised by Dortmunder Forums Frau und Wirtschaft e. V., and Gleichstellungsbüro der Stadt Dortmund.

With the kind support of Kino im U at Dortmunder U – Zentrum für Kunst und Kreativität, KOMM-AN NRW and Kulturbüro Dortmund.

Thanks to its great success World Views has expanded to Cologne in 2021, where we present the series in cooperation with the language school SprachHaus and the SPHS e.V.. The project is supperted by KOMM-AN NRW and Kulturamt der Stadt Köln.
