KoKi CINEMA ROOM
What will the future hold for the defunct German shunting yard in Basel? Will it become an important hub for containers and goods, improving the climate footprint of the Swiss cargo system? Or will it remain an important hub for migrating plants and animals, a role that it has grown into over the last four decades? A film about an unconventional crossroads, told from the perspective of different people and animals.
Note: Although no entrance fee is required, it is recommended to book in advance. Choose the film session you are interested in on our Filmfreeway platform (tickets are organised per film name and follow the chronological order of our festival). There are no assigned seats. Please come half an hour before the session. We will give away the tickets that haven’t been collected 15 minutes before the session starts.
 | The cinema is accessible via a ramp. | |
 |  | There are also toilets accessible with a wheelchair. However assistance might be required since there are a few (heavy) doors to open to arrive to it. |
 | The cinema room is equipped with an inductive sound system. We use two microphones for the discussion afterwards (one for the moderator and/ or speaker, one for the public). | |
| Information about languages is provided above. We tend to provide live interpretation towards English or German when needed (it might be whispered). However live interpretation is harder to put into place when some speakers are taking part online. | ||
€ | No entrance fee is required. We invite our public to support the festival through a donation at the end of the sessions. You decide how much you want to give. | |
