goEast Festival 2025

Culture, Cinema, Class!

The board of KIBA e.V. attended the ceremonial opening of the goEast Film Festival in Wiesbaden – and we were honored not only as partners, but also as an amazed audience.

On the program: the Georgian silent film “MY GRANDMOTHER” from 1929 – a visual masterpiece full of satire, social criticism, and surreal humor. The whole thing was accompanied by the furious Finnish band Cleaning Women, who rocked with homemade instruments made from recycled materials.

Even almost 100 years later, the film hits right at the heart of the bureaucracy-absurdistan debate.

Thanks to goEast for the platform that provides space for stories from Eastern Europe. And thanks to everyone who makes art, exchange, and criticism possible.
