On Thursday, August 13, the church in Conow will be transformed into a movie theater. At 7 p.m., as part of the event series “Starke Stücke. Berührt und diskutiert” (Powerful Films: Moved and Discussed), the German feature film “Amrum” by director Fatih Akin will be screened there.
The film, which premiered in May 2025 at the Cannes International Film Festival and was released in theaters in October 2025, is based on the childhood memories of Hark Bohm, a longtime friend of Akin’s. It tells the story of 12-year-old Nanning on the North Sea island of Amrum during the final days of World War II.
To support his family, the boy takes on hard and dangerous work: he hunts seals, fishes at night, and helps in the fields. But with the end of the war and the long-awaited peace come new challenges. Nanning must find his own path and navigate a changed world.
After the film, attendees are invited to discuss their impressions and the themes of the film over drinks and snacks.
Admission to the event is free. However, to cover costs, the organizers ask for a donation.
