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.

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.
