Just revolutionary – The Films of the Ninjin Club

This participatory, discussion-based and interdisciplinary six-week workshop, led by Mohammad Shawky Hassan, will take place every Tuesday and Thursday from 1 September to 24 September.

Queer Cinema pioneer Barbara Hammer (1939–2019) started making films at the age of 27, coming out as a lesbian in her early 30s: “My life has been lived in film.” The sheer wealth of film material of her life also forms the basis for BARBARA FOREVER, Brydie O’Connor’s debut feature which achieves the mammoth task of doing justice to her dazzling and charismatic personality.

On January 1st, 2026,  Arsenal – Institute for Film and Video Art will become the Arsenal Filminstitut. With this new name, the institution reinforces its future profile and is to be grasped to an even greater extent as a central location for film education, research and a multi-faceted practice that embraces curatorial, artistic and experimental forms of contemporary film culture and how these are communicated.
