A documentary evening about resistance, images, and discussion points in the cinema

With Direct Action, a multifaceted documentary film will come to the Cinema in Bielefeld on May 19, 2026, accompanied by guests and a subsequent discussion via Zoom with director Guillaume Cailleau. The evening combines cinematic experience, political relevance, and intense observation into an event that resonates long after.

A film that stays close to the movement

The documentary by Guillaume Cailleau and Ben Russell showcases a rural collective in France that has stood against evictions, project plans, and state pressure over the years. The immersive narrative style, shooting on S16mm, and the calm yet compelling visual language make Direct Action a special program for discerning cinema-goers.

Strong themes, strong cinematic atmosphere

At the center are activism, environmental movement, and the question of how collective resistance becomes visible. This is precisely where the unique power of this event experience lies: The audience immerses itself in a dense event atmosphere where film language, discussion, and political context intertwine. Those who appreciate documentary formats with depth will find a concentrated and emotionally charged cinematic experience here.

The Cinema as the ideal place for the film evening

The cinema is centrally located in Bielefeld’s city center near the main train station and is easily accessible by public transport, bicycle, and on foot. Parking is available in Feilenstraße and at the city hall for those arriving by car. Hall 1 on the ground floor is easily accessible, and additional information on accessibility is provided transparently for cinema visitors.

Organization with profile

Behind the evening is the Filmhaus Bielefeld, an association dedicated to promoting film and media culture in East Westphalia-Lippe, which has existed since 1982 and shapes the regional film culture with programs, workshops, and cinema collaborations. The combination of a curated film series and discussion format demonstrates professional strength in event management and targeted outreach to a culture-interested audience.

Conclusion: An evening for all who want to experience cinema as an attitude

Direct Action promises an intense film evening with discussion, stance, and strong documentary access. Those interested in socially relevant films, arthouse cinema, and a special audience atmosphere should experience this event live in the cinema Bielefeld.
