The 4th Twin Cities German Film Festival is presented by the Germanic-American Institute in collaboration with the Goethe-Institut.
ABOUT THE FILM
Eleven-year-old Santino is a child of the circus. He loves to spend time with his eighty-year-old great-grandfather, one of Europe‘s last great circus directors, who has become his best friend. Together, they share heartwarming stories: Stories of friendship with an elephant, of farewells, of new beginnings and life on the road. Circusboy chronicles the lives of these modern nomads, capturing a young boy‘s experience growing up among an extended family and animals – a life without a safety net, as free as a bird.
Tickets: $12 at the door • $14 w/online fee
ABOUT THE TWIN CITIES GERMAN FILM FESTIVAL
This year’s Twin Cities German Film Festival invites audiences to explore stories of belonging, identity, and reinvention. This year’s films revolve around characters in motion: across borders, through grief, toward connection, and into self-discovery. The festival, produced by the Germanic-American Institute in collaboration with the Goethe-Institut, celebrates the courage to rebuild, the humor to adapt, and the shifting borders that define modern life.
