GREAT FREEDOM - Sebastian Meise, Franz Rogowski & Ira Sachs
In today’s episode, we bring you a conversation from the opening night, March 4, of Sebastian Meise’s new drama GREAT FREEDOM. The film centers on an incredible performance by world cinema superstar, Franz Rogowski, as a defiant gay man imprisoned in post-World War II Germany under the draconian Paragraph 175, which outlawed homosexuality. We were joined for this event by filmmaker Sebastian Meise, star Franz Rogowski, and the acclaimed American filmmaker Ira Sachs, who served as moderator. GREAT FREEDOM is now playing. Please check www.filmforum.org for showtimes and tickets and enjoy the discussion. Special thanks to Sebastian Meise, Franz Rogowski, Ira Sachs, and MUBI for making this event possible.
