<-- back So far, the tagline of our current, private subseason - "Lieber zuwenig als zuviel" [1] - has proven rather useful. None of the 15 episodes we hosted in the past two months were entirely filmless, but at least it has become more apparent, and rather tangible, that cinema has many futures, many of which don't require anyone to sit in a dark, crowded room and stare at a screen. We felt relatively lucky that we didn't end up moving our program online, or doing the same thing as always, just a bit less of it. It felt quite okay to operate somewhat anticyclically; it even felt mostly okay to not just take a break - even though part of what we can announce today is that, eventually, we will. For now, Private Cinema has been extended until the end of August, but it is obvious that at some point soon, the Short Summer of Deconfinement [2] will come to an end. As far as we can see, it will most likely end in confusion, if not social unrest, accompanied by a flurry of events in arts and culture, some of which will be fun, some of which will, as always, go viral, many of which will require our participation, most of which will be ignored for lack of focus, time and bandwidth, and quite a few of which will be cancelled due to a lack of confidence in the new normal that we are supposed to, if not celebrate, so at least decorate and populate. At Pirate Cinema, we are currently considering a very brief and mostly symbolic "Season Eight, Second Wave" reopening in early September (lieber mit zu wenig Gästen als mit zu vielen, of course), upon which we may disappear for a while. But it's 2020, so you should take any statements that refer to the future with a grain silo of salt. For today, we would like to invite you to join one event (today at 4:30 pm) [3], and maybe read one text (any time) [4]. That's all - but more soon.
