AFRICAN ENCOUNTERS SPECIAL: WIM WENDERS MEETS KING AMPAW (on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of HFF Munich)

In the organizer's words:

To mark the 60th anniversary of HFF Munich (founded in 1966), the university's International Office invites you to a special encounter as part of the 'African Dialogues' exchange program:
Wim Wenders and King Ampaw, two voices of the first university class of 1967, whose paths unfolded between Munich and Ghana. Ampaw appears in front of the camera in Wenders' ALABAMA (1969) - an early moment of a connection that continues to have an impact today. Together with current students Kokutekeleza Musebeni (HFF Munich) and Joanna Adu-Amoani (UniMAC-IFT), they enter into an intergenerational dialog about film and film education then and now. It is an exchange about learning, memory and the power of cinema to build bridges between Africa and Europe.
