Hoezo in KINO

What does technology do to us—and to society? What can films like Princess Mononoke, Solaris, Iron Man, Paterson, and Past Lives tell us about it. In collaboration with independent think-tank Socires, we present KINOsofie: a film series exploring the impact of technology through cinema. Each screening will be introduced by a leading thinker, inviting you to watch, reflect, and discuss the future of our society.
