The Invisible Grandeur of Nature on the Big Screen
With Insects - Heroes in Disguise, the film forum Duisburg will showcase a documentary on July 23, 2026 at 5:45 PM that radically sharpens our view of the smallest inhabitants of our planet. The film by Nepomuk Pfaff takes us into a world that is hardly visible without macro lenses and even without an electron microscope, transforming scientific precision into an impressive artistic experience of nature observation.

A Film about the Greatness in the Small
The documentary honors beetles, mosquitoes, and dragonflies as indispensable players in the cycle of life. With spectacular footage, historical depth of field, and a finely balanced narrative style, it creates a reflection on the insect world that remarkably combines biology, aesthetic experience, and environmental awareness. The fact that Katharina Thalbach narrates the texts adds a distinctive acoustic presence to the film. ([filmforum.de](https://filmforum.de/filme/insekten-helden-im-verborgenen-51157/))
The Film Forum as a Place of Cultural Education
The film forum is the municipal cinema of the city of Duisburg and sees itself as a place for film art, cultural education, and film historical collection. Since 1959, it has shaped the cultural life of the city; today, it offers a program beyond the mainstream aimed at film enthusiasts, families, and educational audiences. For this evening, the hall at Dellplatz opens as a space for concentrated perception and quiet enthusiasm.
