Our first screening was supposed to take place on July 16th. As the date was in summer, we decided that it should be an outdoor activity and planned for an open air cinema event. We chose “Salami Aleikum” as it is a film which can convey many of the main ideas of the DIWAN society.
The film distribution company provided us with the film free of charge. We printed posters and flyers, which were actively distributed in the city by Dirk, Golineh and Kambiz. Mohammad and Sahar organized big banners for the children to be colored and Emitis booked the beach club “Sandburg” for us. The barbecue was ready, cocktails were prepared… Only the weather was not playing along. The morning’s weather forecast predicted no rain for the evening. But just 10 minutes after our arrival we experienced the heaviest rainfall in weeks. Nonetheless more than 100 people showed up!
