Movie series „Property in view"

About the movie

In the small village of Tullymore, a resident has won the lottery. The winner is found quickly: Ned Devine. However, he died at home in front of the television when the prize was announced. To ensure that the winnings are not forfeited, the villagers try all sorts of tricks to get their hands on the prize and divide it up among themselves.

The film will be introduced by Hartmut Rosa, Sociologist at the Universities of Jena and Erfurt, in the field of General and Theoretical Sociology.

About our series

Once a month during the semester, our series brings the debate on property issues to the big screen. We show a filmic treatment of conflicts over property, current dynamics of change and possible alternatives. A member of our Collaborative Research Center will give a brief introduction to the film at the beginning of the evening and shed light on the connections between the film and our property research. The film will be followed by a discussion with anyone from the audience who is interested. The films are usually shown in the original language with subtitles.
