7.30 p.m.

ARTE Film Night
Presentation of documentaries in cooperation with ARTE and ZKM | Karlsruhe

The vision of a world society based on universal values proves to be illusory. Market mechanisms, however, do prevail: cross-border trade with services and data is increasing; people are degraded to goods. The question arises what chances and risks the ‘world (market) society’ holds. The ARTE film night is looking for answers.

Paradisical?

	An estimated 20 to 30 billion dollars are being hidden in tax havens every year. An amount which is equivalent to two-thirds of global debts. Entire states are in danger of collapsing due to the increasingly extensive tax evasion: “Zeitbombe Steuerflucht – Wann kippt das System?” (Time Bomb Tax Evation – When Will the System Fail?)

Profitable?

	Agricultural land is considered the most profitable investment of the 21st century. The run on the best agricultural areas of underdeveloped countries is enormous – those countries sell their lands despite the famines which threaten their own people: "Dritte Welt im Ausverkauf?" (Third World for Sale)

Inexpensive?

	Globalisation has long since reached the clinices. In the past, the focus of interest was on cosmetic surgery and dental treatment. Now, it is high-tech medicine in the Far East at affordable prices: "Mein Bypass aus Bangkok - Das Geschäft mit dem Gesundheitstourismus" (My Bypass from Bangkok - the Business with the Health Tourism).

Enlightend?

	In 2002, Google has begun building a global library and made contracts with the biggest university libraries. This caused authors around the world to stand up for their intellectual property rights. "Google und die Macht des Wissens" (Google and the World Brain): a film on the failed knowledge monopoly of the internet giant.

Reading

Studio (Badisches Staatstheater Karlsruhe),Baumeisterstrasse 11

3.00 p.m	Ingo Schulze: Unsere schönen neuen Kleider. Gegen eine marktkonforme Demokratie - für demokratiekonforme Märkte "But he isn't wearing anything at all!", the child cries out in the tale of "The Emperor's New Clothes" and thereby expresses what everyone can see, but no one dares to say. Ingo Schulze introduced his renowned Dresden speech from 2012 with the well-known parable about how willingly people let themselves be deceived. He is one of the few writers and intellectuals who are publicly positioning themselves as a political person. In his factual and poetic analysis of the status quo, he points out the causes of the loss of democracy and social polarisation in our globalised society. He argues that it is necessary to take oneself seriously, to overcome isolation, and to perceive to the world as changeable.
