40 Years of Ingeborg Bachmann Library: 'The Dreamed' Film Screening

As part of the library's 40th-anniversary celebrations, enjoy a screening of 'The Dreamed,' a film about the intense relationship between poets Ingeborg Bachmann and Paul Celan. The story explores a love threatened by the weights of history, language, and shared guilt in post-war Vienna. Their decades-long, often painful correspondence serves as the textual basis for this unique cinematic experience. The film captures a romance marked by both intoxication and despair, proximity and unbridgeable distance. It is a profound exploration of how personal lives are shaped by the trauma of survival and historical awareness. This free screening offers a deep dive into literary history through a visual medium.
