An evening that resonates: The Mölln Letters at filmforum Duisburg
With The Mölln Letters, filmforum Duisburg will present a documentary on September 29, 2026 at 18:00 that brings together historical responsibility, personal memory, and societal empathy. The film by Martina Priessner tells the story of the arson attacks in Mölln in 1992, missing letters of solidarity, and a late encounter with a history that still moves us today.

When archive stories suddenly come alive
At the center is the question of what happens when letters full of compassion disappear into archives for decades. The documentary makes this repressed level visible and brings the affected individuals into focus. For the audience, an intense event experience emerges that goes far beyond a typical trip to the cinema. ([filmforum.de](https://filmforum.de/filme/die-moellner-briefe-45573/))

filmforum Duisburg is recognized as the first municipal cinema in Germany and has stood for demanding film culture, cultural mediation, and film historical work since 1959. The location at Dellplatz 16 offers genuine program cinema flair right in the city and is an appropriate stage, especially for cinematic, political, and documentary formats.
