Film Fundraiser
BY SHELLY SCHOENESHOEFER
Please help save Hamburg‘s independent Cinemas!
Do you miss going to the cinema with
family or friends? If so, please read on!
Hamburg’s small independent movie
theaters need our help. Fifteen of them
have organized an online fundraiser to
ensure they can hang on financially until
they’re allowed to reopen their cinemas.
This is no small feat, and their goal is
to raise €400,000. Everything they raise
will be divided equally between the
participating cinemas, which include
Abaton and Savoy, as well as many
other excellent movie theaters.
We would like to have a group fundraiser
on behalf of AWCH because of how
valuable the cinemas are to the expat
community here in Hamburg. As you
know, the AWCH Film Group has been
working hard on the next film magazine
issue, The 2020 Berlinale Magazine, and
it will be finished in the middle of June.
If you donate five euros or more to our
fundraiser for independent Hamburg
cinemas, you will get a copy of this
special magazine for free. If you are
in Hamburg, the magazine can be
personally delivered to you, and if
you live outside of Hamburg it will
be mailed. We can also send a PDF of
the magazine for those of you who are
happy to read it online! We just need to
know by June 15th if you are interested
so we can put your name on the list of
donors. Please deposit any money you
would like to donate into the AWCH
account with a note that it is a donation
for the cinema fundraiser. Information
about the AWCH‘s bank account can
be found on p. 43. Thank you for your
contributions—and we hope you’ll
enjoy the Film Group’s 2020 Berlinale
Magazine!

fundraiser and the website where you
