Mitternachtskino at squatted Philosophicum




On June 30th 2012, the so called "Philosophicum", a building on Bockenheim's university campus which has been vacant for more than ten years even though affordable housing is desperately needed, had been squatted.
A one week programm of artistic and political events was planned to raise awareness for the potential of this abandoned site.

On July 1st, Mitternachtskino decided to have a spontaneous 8mm multiple screen projection. Everything seemed calm when we left to get our equipment, but when we returned half an hour later packed with projectors and film reels, the building had already been cleared by the police.
