The Quercus Film Club invites you to a meeting dedicated to Margarethe von Trotta's film "Hannah Arendt" - a work about a woman who turned philosophy into an act of civic courage. The film by German director Margarethe von Trotta is not a biography, but a subtle reflection on the nature of thinking and inner independence. At the center of the plot is philosopher Hannah Arendt, analyzing the trial of Nazi Adolf Eichmann and formulating the now-famous concept of the "banality of evil." The film serves as a reason for conversation about the nature of freedom, the responsibility of the intellectual, and the right of a person to maintain independence of judgment even when the world demands consent. After the screening, participants of the film club will discuss the film and the ideas raised in it: what is the role of the thinker in the modern world, why intellectual honesty requires courage, and where the line is drawn between observation and participation. The meeting and film discussion will be led by Elena Boyarshinova - philosopher, lecturer, and specialist in aesthetics and cultural practices. Her comments will help to view the film not only as an artistic work but also as a philosophical experience directed at each viewer. Details about the meeting can be found on the film club's website.
