Collaborating since 2015, Lynn Lehmann and Dennis Gärtner’s artistic repertoire includes illustrations, graphic design, and paintings— manifested as prints, expansive murals, or tapestries.

PANDORA FILM PRESENTS “RICKERL — MUSIK IST HÖCHSTENS EIN HOBBY”: SPECIAL SCREENING AT THE PASSAGE IN NEUKÖLLN

PANDORA FILM PRESENTS “RICKERL — MUSIK IST HÖCHSTENS EIN HOBBY”: SPECIAL SCREENING AT THE PASSAGE IN NEUKÖLLN

The pubs in Vienna’s working-class district mean more to Erich Bohacek, also known as “Rickerl,” than just places to socialize – they are his living room and his stage. Balancing roles as a gravedigger, sex store employee, and wedding singer, he navigates life with the hope of achieving his big breakthrough. However, Rickerl often struggles even to afford a trip to the movies with his beloved son Dominik. In “Rickerl – Musik ist höchstens ein Hobby,” director and screenwriter Adrian Goiginger – already recognized for “Die beste aller Welten,” “Märzengrund,” and “Der Fuchs” – crafts an emotional and melancholic comedy. The film not only depicts the challenges of everyday life in Vienna’s working-class district but also explores the yearning for success and the constant struggle for one’s own identity. Austrian singer-songwriter Voodoo Jürgens, in his first leading role as Rickerl, infuses the character with a musical soul. His songs intricately weave into the plot, enhancing the narrative’s intensity. After the screening at Passage Kino in Neukölln (29.01.2024) , there will be a talk and Q&A with Adrian Goiginger and Voodoo Jürgens, followed by a concert featuring the film’s songs. It promises to be an evening for cineastes and music lovers alike.

MINDFUL DRINKING IN FOCUS — COME TO THE FIRST SOBER BAR NIGHT AT HAPPA

MINDFUL DRINKING IN FOCUS — COME TO THE FIRST SOBER BAR NIGHT AT HAPPA

Dry January, a term that breezes through January like a breath of fresh air, inspires many to give their glasses a break. In this month of clear heads and fresh resolutions, many consciously choose to abstain from alcohol—a personal challenge after the exuberant celebrations in December and a deliberate step towards more mindfulness and self-care. In line with this resolution, Happa Restaurant at Schlesisches Tor is hosting the first Sober Bar Night in cooperation with the Mindful Drinking Club. Founded by chef and cookbook author Sophia Hoffmann and her partner Nina Kristin Petersen, Happa is a vegan restaurant known for its radically vegan cuisine and consistent commitment to waste reduction. From Monday to Thursday they offer an affordable lunch menu with two main courses, a soup, salad, and freshly baked cake.

On sunny days, you can enjoy your lunch outside under the tomato-red umbrellas or take your food with you on the go. The Sober Bar Night next Friday (12.01.2024) will feature a variety of vegan and organic bar food snacks accompanied by selected non-alcoholic sparkling wines, sparkling wines, and cocktails from the Mindful Drinking Club. It serves as the kick-off for upcoming dinner events—a welcome opportunity to consciously abstain from alcohol while fully experiencing the pleasure. The founder of the Mindful Drinking Club, Jennifer Kießling, will also be on hand to provide exciting insights into the world of non-alcoholic drinks. Sounds like an evening full of enjoyment and without compromise. Just come along!

THE BERLIN TRAVEL FESTIVAL: FOR PEOPLE ON THE MOVE AND WANT TO STAY PRESENT

THE BERLIN TRAVEL FESTIVAL: FOR PEOPLE ON THE MOVE AND WANT TO STAY PRESENT

Constantly Instagram scrolling? How about something much better: although this event offers at least as much inspiration, it has much more depth than endless swiping, and not just physically. The Berlin Travel Festival (01.-03.12.2023), founded by Bernd Neff, has set itself the task of showing you what’s possible when it comes to travel. You can discover destinations from the Barnin countryside to the North York National Park in England and Costa Rica. But of course it’s not just about getting to know places, it’s also about bringing people together. It’s for people who create and curate experiences and those who are looking for rest, relaxation and adventure. But you can also simply find the perfect travel backpack, more information about your dream tiny house, glamping inspo, eco-resorts and tips for your workation. Need another buzzword to motivate your travel buddies, climbing friends and hiking groups for a trip to the Berlin Travel Festival at the Messe Berlin?

Group travel is known to be particularly beautiful – here it comes: the photo area! This year, for the first time, there will be an area dedicated to photography with exhibitors such as Leica, Sony and Sigma. Head over to test products and ask questions, as there’s specialist knowledge at your fingertips. This way, there’s nothing standing between you and the perfect travel content. But hang on, it’s 2023, and by now we already all know that Insta-sensations can sometimes flatten out nature and people. So here’s a hint: the Berlin Travel Festival wants to make travel more mindful and has created a value compass that makes it clear: travel should be possible for everyone, but should also be sustainable. Environmentally friendly practices should be promoted and supported so that a positive change can take place in the travel industry – for an enriching travel experience for everyone.

BERLIN’S ANSWER TO THE THROWAWAY SOCIETY: THE ZERO WASTE FUTURE FESTIVAL BEGINS

BERLIN’S ANSWER TO THE THROWAWAY SOCIETY: THE ZERO WASTE FUTURE FESTIVAL BEGINS

Are olive oil canisters the future, and can you save the world with beer? Berliner Stadtreinigung (BSR) has big plans! Their vision is to make Berlin the zero waste capital. At the Zero Waste Future Festival 2023 (ZWFF for short) at NochMall, the BSR’s second-hand department store in Reinickendorf, this vision will become reality (14.-17.11.2023). Find out how you can make a big difference with small steps – whether it’s at the breakfast table or in your closet. The key word here is “zero waste”, a term that describes using products and raw materials for as long as possible and keeping them in circulation before they are disposed of. The ZWFF offers a three-day program, with each day dedicated to a different theme: “Food & Drink”, “Recycle” or “Repair” are the three guiding themes. Free workshops and hands-on information stands will show you how you can make your everyday life more waste-free. Pedal on the Smoothie Bike and earn yourself a fruity refreshment or learn how to creatively upgrade and ferment stale bread. The exciting conclusion to the Zero Waste Future Festival will take place on Friday (17.11., when visions for a waste-free future will be presented and you’ll be invited to try out some of these new ideas. The numerous interactive activities will start at 15h, including a clothing swap party in cooperation with youngcaritas and Lena from Gurlscrime, theater and live music. And of course, BSR will also be present with information on waste disposal, separating recyclables and reusable solutions.
