The 4th edition of the 14km Film and Discussion Series took place from July to December 2016 and presented monthly film screenings with ensuing Q&A sessions.

The series offered thorough information and a differentiated picture of social and political realities in North Africa and the Middle East, and encouraged the audience to look into each evening’s subject intensively. Especially in times like these, while parts of society are unsettled and feelings of threat and fear become noticeable, we see it as our task to inform, to sensitize, and to create room for encounters.
