Open-Air-Vorführung: Mittwoch zwischen 5 und 7

In the organizer's words:

For our last Cinéclub before the summer break, we are showing an open-air screening from Wednesday between 5 and 7! In this masterpiece of the Nouvelle Vague, shot by Agnès Varda in 1962, the audience is invited to experience, almost in real time, the waiting of Cléo, who is convinced she has cancer. Cléo between 5 and 7 is a psychological drama that follows the wanderings of its protagonist through the streets of Paris.

Cléo, played by Corinne Marchand, is waiting for the results of a medical examination. From superstition to fear, from the Rue de Rivoli to the Café de Dôme, from coquetry to anxiety, from her apartment to the Parc Montsouris, Cléo experiences ninety special minutes.

However,Wednesday between 5 and 7 is not just a film about the fear of waiting and transience. As in all her films, Agnès Varda gives women a central place in her narrative, in a context in which the cinema of the Nouvelle Vague is still largely dominated by male directors. Wednesday between 5 and 7 offers a female perspective on women's perception of their place in the public space of Paris.
