Film Screening: Endless Night

Berlin Tempelhof Airport: Several flights have been cancelled, and people wait in the fog for planes that don’t arrive. Individual fates come to light behind the usual everyday stories. There’s deception and adultery, lost illusions and ruined careers. Within just a few hours, people are thrown off the seemingly ordered paths of their lives. When the next day arrives, their lives have changed forever.

Die endlose Nacht (Endless Night) is a thriller, melodrama and comedy in one – timeless and more contemporary now than ever before – and one of the most important films of the New German Cinema of the 1960s.
