Chambre 666 (Room 666) (1982), 44 minRoom 666 is a thought-provoking film that poses a simple question. At the 1982 Cannes Film Festival, numerous directors including Steven Spielberg, Jean-Luc Goddard, and Rainer Fassbinder were each invited to room 666 of the Hotel Martinez and given roughly 11 minutes to answer a list of questions. The most prominent of these was “Is cinema a language about to get lost, an art about to die?”

The film program is made possible in collaboration with Wim Wenders Foundation and Goethe-Institut with the support of the German Embassy in Pristina.
