Description

The Austrian Embassy, in the context of the Weeks of German Language presents the screening of the film “The Dreamed Ones” by Ruth Beckermann, at Technopolis 20 in Paphos, on Tuesday 14th of November 2017, at 19:30.

It’s not uncommon for a film to have a moving love story at its core. Yet this particular set-up is unusual. The lovers here are Ingeborg Bachmann and Paul Celan, both important representatives of post-war German-language poetry. The story of the relationship between the Austrian and the Jew from Czernowitz is told through their nearly 20-year correspondence (1948–1967). Or, more precisely, by a young woman and a young man reading from their letters in a studio in Vienna’s venerable Funkhaus.
