On the occasion of the Pride Month we invite you to the screening of Different from the Others (German: Anders als die Andern) - a silent German melodramatic film produced during the Weimar Republic. Released in 1919 stars Conrad Veidt and Reinhold Schünzel. It was directed by Richard Oswald, and the story co-written by Oswald and Magnus Hirschfeld, who also had a small part in the film and partially funded the production through his Institute for Sexual Science.

The film was intended as a polemic against the then-current laws under Germany's Paragraph 175, which made homosexuality a criminal offense. It was one of the first sympathetic portrayals of gay men in cinema. Censorship laws were enacted in reaction to films like Different from the Others and by October 1920 only doctors and medical researchers could view it.

Prints of the film were among the many "decadent" works burned by the Nazis after they came to power in 1933. Screening with live piano accompaniment by Mia Fitzgerald.
