Legion

Cinema

„Legion“ ran 2018 in the festival cinema program.

With the Seriencamp PFLICHTPROGRAMM, we honor material that has expanded our serial consciousness in a very special way. Like "Legion," which functions as a superhero series in a completely different way than what we're used to in the DC and Marvel cosmos. This is not only thanks to the currently most courageous US provider FX ("Atlanta"), but also to "Fargo" creator Noah Hawley, who was obviously given an absolutely free hand for this highly experimental form of storytelling. The result: the superhero series that a Stanley Kubrick would probably have shot in such a similar way, a challenge and deception of the senses, which we will also talk about with some special guests after the screening. Thanks to a detailed introduction, no prior knowledge is required!

Seriencamp PFLICHTPROGRAMM honors the extraordinary in terms of serial storytelling. And what better series to focus on, than Noah Hawley's ("Fargo") descent into superhero-madness, "Legion." We'e showing two selected episodes and talk about them with some special guests after the screening.
