Pop-Up Teahouse Berlin: MONDAY MOVIE NIGHTS – ASIAN FILM SERIES
The MONDAY MOVIE NIGHTS -ASIAN FILM SERIES is a community initiative by scholarship holders of Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung (KAS), led by Pisen Sou, Global Communications student (MA) at the University of Erfurt. It is supported by the Asia-Pacific Department of KAS. Connecting communities via visual stories is a powerful way to build an understanding of societies in their different cultural, societal and historical settings. Besides watching the films together, the evenings will also be a space for interaction and discussion facilitated by the hosts. On the part of C*SPACE Annette Heimann, previously managing director of the Asia Berlin Forum e.V., will act as a co-host.
In addition to the KAS-fellows-led and hosted film series – at the Pop-Up Teahouse at C*SPACE Berlin – we are delighted to also welcome the Taiwanese Film Festival again as a host for a film screening of one of this year’s Taiwanese Film Festival Films.

The Asia Film Series is part of the “Pop-Up Teahouse Berlin” cultural project that was initiated by C*SPACE in 2021with intention to co-create a space for the Asian/Berlin community and anyone else interested in a deeper understanding between cultures, and in East-West encounters. As much as the Teahouse is a place to rest and relax, it is a social space to rethink and discuss ideas, as well as a stage for the arts ranging from dance, literature, theater to film screening.
Thanks to support from Stiftung Mercator and KAS-Konrad Adenauer Stiftung most of the programs are free of charge. C*SPACE Berlin is a co-working, creative and project space run by C-SPACE Berlin gGmbH – social enterprise.
