Film, Emotion and Exchange at the 17th European Film Festival of Generations
On November 11, 2026, the Luthersaal Karlsruhe will become a meeting point for moving film culture and intergenerational dialogue. As part of the 17th European Film Festival of Generations, the British feature film Song for Marion is on the program. Admission is free, doors open at 7 PM, and the film starts at 7:30 PM.
Song for Marion: Cinema about Love, Courage, and New Beginnings
The 2013 feature film from Great Britain tells a touching story about love, loss, music, and the courage to embrace something new later in life within its 97 minutes runtime. The screening combines emotional cinema with the central themes of the festival: aging, participation, relationships, and solidarity across generations.
Festival Atmosphere in Luthersaal Karlsruhe
Instead of a red carpet and a large main stage, this festival focuses on closeness. In the Luthersaal, a personal cinema atmosphere is created where the audience watches, laughs, reflects, and then engages in conversation together. This sense of community characterizes the European Film Festival of Generations at its numerous venues.
Talk with Stephanie Knoll
After the film screening, there will be a talk with Stephanie Knoll. The exchange is a fundamental part of the festival's concept, allowing space for personal impressions, questions, and different perspectives. Thus, the cinema visit becomes a shared multigenerational experience with lasting conversation material.
A Festival for Dialogue and Social Participation
The 17th European Film Festival of Generations will take place nationwide in 2026, featuring fictional and documentary films on topics such as aging, inclusion, social change, and solidarity. In Karlsruhe, the program is implemented by the district coordination and the senior office of the city in collaboration with partners. The event in the Luthersaal is developed in cooperation with the Luther community and Kulturküche Karlsruhe.
Conclusion: Watching Together, Thinking Together
Visitors can expect a warm cinema evening featuring an internationally cast feature film, an open discussion round, and genuine intergenerational exchange. Those who want to not only consume film but experience and reflect together should attend this free cultural evening live at the Luthersaal Karlsruhe.
