An exciting evening full of short films awaits you at the next Stammtisch on 3 December! We’ll watch regional short films together, talk about them and round off the evening in a cosy atmosphere. In order to have enough time for dialogue, we will start an hour earlier.
PROGRAMME

The Neighbour D: Asbirg Naranjo, 2023, 16 min
Pensioner Mr Kummer is desperate to attend a Christmas party for his estranged family, who have unexpectedly invited him. A story about the loss of illusion.
Rüdiger Kummer (74) lives in an apartment block. An illness slowly creeps into his life. For a long time, he himself knows nothing about it. The eternal bachelor lives in seclusion, but enjoys talking to his young neighbours about historical events. The dark month of November gives him a hard time. Unexpectedly, his brother, whom he hasn’t seen for a long time, calls him and invites him to spend Christmas with him and his family. Inspired by a true story from Münster.

The Book Keepers D: Christiaan Hümbs-Steinbeck, 2024, 30 min
DIE BÜCHERHÜTER is a documentary journey through the fascinating world of antiquarians, a dwindling community of people who have dedicated their lives to collecting and preserving old books. The film follows three main characters – booksellers Monika, Rainer and Christiaan’s father Helmut – and sheds light on their everyday lives, their passion and the challenges they face in a rapidly changing world.

Gevatter Tod is out, or the day he hangs up his job. D: Nina Romming & Thomas Küper (butchers&duchess), 2024, 7:13 min
Father Death is slowly losing his nerve when it comes to his job. His successor is ready and technically equipped to put a stop to population growth with inbound marketing. God puts the finishing touches to Father Death with her creation ideas and a crazy idea. A short chamber play about life, death and the fact that things can always get worse.
