In the organizer's words:

"It's serious. Take it seriously too." On 18.03.2020, Angela Merkel appeals to the public's discipline in a televised speech. Soon afterwards, the streets were empty, toilet paper and noodles were hoarded, the Steigerlied was sung from the windows and hospital staff were applauded. The Tageschau achieved ratings like only soccer, which had suddenly come to a standstill.

Jens Dornheim and Dominik Hertrich (theater glassbooth), Dirk Gerigk and Stefan Bahl (bs-films) took to the streets in April 2020, during the first lockdown, when nobody knew what was coming. They spoke to people, received submissions of self-recorded clips, shot feature film scenes in a small team and tried to record people's opinions, worries, insecurities and emotions. The result is "Pandemonium", a film that now feels like a journey through time to the beginnings of the pandemic, an event that will continue to occupy us for years to come.

Following the film, we invite you to an audience discussion.
