The Darkside Cinema in Corvallis, Oregon, is our partner cinema. We screen there, and have been doing so since gas was $0.89. But at least since 2010, when we screened our first event there, the East German avantgarde film Latest from the Da-Da-eR, on 35mm, with the director in attendance and lines out the door.

The Center for Political Beauty embodies a radical form of humanism. It is an assault troop that establishes moral beauty, political poetry, and human magnanimity. The Center fuses the power of fantasy with the power of history. The fundamental conviction is that the legacy of the Holocaust is rendered void by political apathy, the rejection of refugees, and cowardice. We believe that Germany should not only learn from its history but also take action. We shape political resistance in the 21st century, arming reality with moral fantasy and the power of history. Resistance is an art that needs to hurt, irritate, and unsettle. We experiment with the laws of reality and fill the space previously occupied by public intellectuals: the moral conscience.  

Riding without a ticket is a criminal offense in Germany. Thousands of people end up in prison every year because they can’t afford a ticket for public transport. People spend up to a year in jail. Transport companies must stop prosecuting people who ride without a ticket. The Freedom Fund initiative frees people from prison throughout Germany who are behind bars for “riding without a ticket”. And because each day of detention costs taxpayers around 150 euros per prisoner, the initiative even saves the state money.
