23 – 25 September 2016 Wiesbaden
Reflecta: The name speaks for itself. Reflecta is a nonprofit association that organizes festivals and events with the intention to encourage critical thinking, to support questioning and to pique curiosity about the world in its diversity and complexity. An environment-friendly and social cooperation, as well as cultural diversity, is essential to us. Furthermore, Reflecta is publisher of the sustainable Green City Guide.
The project encourages the reproductive transnational and interdisciplinary dialogue between film creatives, interlectuals, aritsts, people that activley discuss this theamatic and are able to deliver proposals for action, scientists and last but not least responsible players from politics and economy – a dialogue profitable for an audience of any age.
What differentiates Reflecta from other festivals is the step we take from theory into practice. Sharing information and offering entertainment is not enough, we also want to provide a platform that enables protagonists to exchange views and to connect. Therefore, aside from movie screenings and concerts, also panel discussions and workshops await our visitors.
We warmly welcome interested people of all ages. In order to allow as many people as possible to partake, we have tiered the admission fees.
