A moving documentary film evening with social depth

With Friendly Fire – Finding Erich Fried, the cinema in Bielefeld shows a documentary film on May 12, 2026, that impressively combines personal family history and European contemporary history. The film by Klaus Fried and Julia Albrecht takes 109 minutes to explore memory, exile, political tensions, and the question of what communication can still mean today.

An evening of cinema full of memory and presence

The event experience at the film art theater is aimed at anyone who appreciates sophisticated filmmaking, culture, and historical perspectives. At the center is the Austrian poet Erich Fried, whose life was shaped by escape, exile, and intellectual independence. The preliminary reports make it clear: the audience can expect no light material here, but an intense documentary film with attitude and relevance.

Between family portrait and diagnosis of the times

The narrative proximity is particularly strong. Klaus Fried approaches his father as a son, chronicler, and seeker at the same time. This results in a multifaceted portrait that connects private memories with political conflicts, literary significance, and cultural context. Exactly this mix gives the evening a special audience atmosphere: concentrated, reflective, and open to discourse.

The cinema in Feilenstraße is one of the established addresses for film art in Bielefeld. With its central location near the main station and city center, it is easily accessible, both by public transport and on foot.
