Forum Neun, Revolutionale - a project of the Stiftung Friedliche Revolution & Cinémathèque Leipzig e.V. The exhibition SHIFTING GROUNDS is funded by the Federal Agency for Civic Education as part of the 12th Festival Politik im Freien Theater.

Based on a map of former uranium mining areas in Saxony and Thuringia, the film "Sun Underground" embarks on a dizzying journey through time, under the earth, above the earth and into space. It traces the sedimented narratives that surround the element of uranium in material, geopolitical and metaphorical terms. How can the spectrum of the visible be shifted to bring its invisible radiation into the image, to make it audible or tangible?"

The screening will be followed by a discussion with director Mareike Bernien and political scientist Dr Jakob Kullik (Chemnitz University of Technology) on the film's themes. Moderated by Elza Gubanova & Leon Seidel.
