An evening between film art and historical responsibility

Few subjects demand such precise forms as the memory of the Shoah. Kosakowski, whose work explores the boundaries between documentary, fiction, and experimental film, approaches the topic with analytical sharpness and radical visual reflection. His work is exhibited internationally, award-winning, and known in the film and media scene as a demanding position. ([kosakowskifilms.com](https://www.kosakowskifilms.com/about))

A discussion rather than mere screening

The special appeal of this evening lies in the direct exchange: After the film, the discussion with the director opens up a space for interpretation, context, and critical classification. Those interested in memory culture, visual narratives, and the aesthetic responsibility of cinema will experience not just a screening but a literarily and intellectually charged author discussion in the best sense.

The venue: BALi Cinema at the Culture Station

BALi Cinema is located at Culture Station Kassel, Rainer-Dierichs-Platz 1. It is easily accessible by RegioTram, bus, and tram; for drivers, there are paid parking options directly at the train station square as well as on the side of the station building.

Why it's worth attending

Holofiction combines political vigilance with aesthetic rigor and turns the cinema hall into a place for reflection. Those interested in film history, memory culture, experimental film, and discursive events will find an evening of high content density here. The result is a literary, culturally critical experience that resonates long after. ([kosakowskifilms.com](https://www.kosakowskifilms.com/about))

Conclusion: This evening promises not easy entertainment but a precise, compelling encounter with a film that renegotiates the history of images and memory. Those who love challenging cultural events should experience Holofiction live at BALi Cinema. ([filmladen.de](https://www.filmladen.de/))
