An impressive cinema afternoon for families with discussion and history
Black Houses brings an important topic to the screen: children's rehabilitation, recreational homes, and memories of a time that was anything but carefree for many children. The documentary will be screening at filmforum Duisburg on August 12, 2026, at 5:45 PM, combining personal perspectives with historical insights.
A film that piques curiosity and touches the heart
Families will experience a calm, reflective cinema experience with cultural value here. The film introduces children to a difficult chapter of German history in an age-appropriate manner and shows how narratives, documents, and theater projects interact. This makes the evening not only informative but also a learning experience about memory, empathy, and responsibility.
Why this event is interesting for families
filmforum Duisburg has been a place for education and film culture as a community cinema for many years. Especially for families, the venue offers a framework in which watching together, reflecting, and later discussing what has been seen is easy. The film is suitable for all ages and lasts 85 minutes. This creates a calm cultural moment with an opportunity for discussion for children and parents.
The filmforum Duisburg as a family-friendly cultural venue

A concluding wrap-up for parents and children
