A film evening about money, power, and the question of justice
With Film & Discussion: Capital in the 21st Century, the Karlsruhe audience can expect an intense evening between cinema experience and societal debate on September 11, 2026. The Common Good Economy Regional Group Karlsruhe and the Kinemathek Karlsruhe invite you to an event as part of the Fair Weeks Karlsruhe, which does not explain economic relationships abstractly, but brings them emotionally and understandably to the screen.
A documentary that challenges thought patterns
The film by director Justin Pemberton is based on the international bestseller by Thomas Piketty and traces the historical lines of inequality, wealth, and power. From feudalism to the French Revolution to the present, the documentary connects historical development, economic history, and political perspectives into a clear, pointed view of wealth distribution. This is precisely the strength of this event experience: It combines knowledge transfer with audience atmosphere and opens the space for new questions.
Common Good Economy meets film discussion
The evening becomes particularly exciting through the cooperation with the Common Good Economy. After the screening, a discussion exchange follows that goes beyond the film and poses the central question of how the economy can become more social, democratic, and future-oriented. For visitors, this creates a mix of cinema, discussion culture, and professionally grounded event planning that elevates the evening far beyond a classic film screening.
Kinemathek Karlsruhe as an atmospheric place for conversation and cinema
The Kinemathek Karlsruhe in Kaiserpassage is known as a cultural venue for programmatic cinema and film-related discussions. With its barrier-free and air-conditioned environment, it provides the right setting for a focused audience that wants to engage with the content. The hall creates that calm, attentive event atmosphere that makes discussions about democracy, economy, and social cohesion particularly compelling.
Why this evening is relevant
Anyone interested in societal debates, economic policy, the common good, and documentary films will experience an evening with depth, relevance, and clever target audience engagement. The film connects numbers and relationships with a clear narrative that remains accessible even without an economic background. This is exactly what makes the appeal of this event: It informs, moves, and invites further thinking.
At the end, visitors can expect an evening full of impulses, exchanges, and new perspectives on the question of how prosperity can be distributed more fairly. Anyone who wants to understand economics not only should witness this film discussion live.
