Astrid Lindgren on the screen: An evening about courage, memory, and linguistic power

On April 10, 2026, a literary experience unfolds at filmforum Duisburg that goes far beyond an ordinary screening. Astrid Lindgren - Humanity has lost its mind opens the view on an author whose work has shaped generations - and on her war diaries, which reveal an unusual, deeply political side.

When a children's book icon becomes a chronicler of contemporary history

The evening leads straight into Astrid Lindgren's world of thought between 1939 and 1945. From the author of Pippi Longstocking, Emil from Lönneberga, and Ronja the Robber's Daughter, she becomes an alert observer of history, a voice between private notes, societal feelings, and literary clarity. This tension gives the film its unique literary quality.

Reading atmosphere in the cinema: focused, intimate, lingering

The filmforum at Dellplatz offers a suitable framework for such formats. The atmosphere of the house connects film culture with cultural memory, the historical ambiance with modern presentation. Those who love literature in the broader sense experience here not just a mere projection, but an author encounter through images, language, and historical resonance.

Why Astrid Lindgren still touches us today

Astrid Lindgren's work stands not only for imagination and childish freedom but also for humanity, resilience, and moral independence. Her diaries open a different approach: less fairy-tale like, but all the more immediate. This interplay of biography, diagnosis of the times, and linguistic art is what makes this evening appealing.

The audience can expect a thought-provoking cultural evening

The screening promises a precise, education-oriented look at one of the most influential authors of the 20th century. Visitors can expect an evening that inspires further thinking, reveals literary connections, and underscores the lasting relevance of Astrid Lindgren.
