Abstract

We all came together for the 37th Film and Media Colloquium (FFK) at the Goethe University Frankfurt on March 20-22. In addition to 5 workshops and more than 70 valuable presentations in 27 panels in the field of film and media, there was a Feminist (Video) Game Night, a Gender/Queer/Disability/Critical Race Studies networking meeting, a tour of the history of porno cinemas, and film screenings titled Queer Activism & Prison Abolition. Participants played games with the help of Laura Laabs and Laijana Braun, shared their thoughts and experiences on relevant topics in a networking meeting, took part in a tour of the historic porno cinemas around the main station guided by Nils Meyn, and watched the films Homotopia (2007) and Criminal Queers (2017) at the screenings at the Pupille Kino and discussed the films with guest Hannah Vögele and moderator Josefine Hetterich.
