See you tonight at 6.30pm at TIFF Lightbox!

Every time I pass the (now horrifically gentrified) Tacheles in Berlin, I have to think of young Daniel Brühl in the now classic 2003 East-West comedy Good Bye, Lenin! —opening the latest GOETHE FILMS @ TIFF Lightbox series 9 April (& celebrating 70 years german film ).

Join us on Apr 13 for the Agreeing to Disagree in a Democracy Panel @ #DXC24 . Democracy doesn’t work if we can’t talk about our different beliefs. Our panelists will unpack what’s underneath our growing polarization & how we can relate across differences. democracyxchange.org/schedule/dxc24
