An extraordinary cinema afternoon in Bayreuth: Life Views of a Hen

With Cinema is Program: Life Views of a Hen, a film will be screened on September 20, 2026, at the Kunst- und Kulturhaus Neuneinhalb that is as quirky as it is clever, as poetic as it is pointed. A black hen escapes from the chicken farm, entering a world filled with coincidences, threats, and new alliances – transforming a seemingly small animal story into a grand parable about freedom, survival, and human entanglements.

A animal character with great stage presence

György Pálfi tells the story from an unusually consistent perspective: The hen is not merely a sympathetic figure but becomes the bearer of drama, tension, and humor. Critics highlight the original narrative style, the shift between burlesque setup and serious condensation, as well as the view on the relationship between humans and animals. It is this mixture of fable, social observation, and cinematic precision that makes the evening's stage experience in Bayreuth so appealing – even if the cinema screen, not a theater stage, is at the center.

Between comedy, danger, and poetic precision

The film begins with an escape from a system of factory farming and develops into a journey that goes far beyond mere entertainment. The hen encounters foxes, dogs, a rundown restaurant, and a family in need. From these stations, a dense mix of adventure, irony, and existential tension arises. The audience's reaction is likely to kick in precisely where Pálfi sets his images particularly precisely: in the moments where comedy and cruelty, slapstick and tragedy stand side by side.

Art-house cinema with attitude

Cinema is Program e.V. brings the film as part of its art-house cinema offerings to the Kunst- und Kulturhaus Neuneinhalb. The location at Gerberplatz 1 is regarded as a vibrant cultural address in Bayreuth and stands for an intimate theater atmosphere where closeness, attention, and shared viewing become palpable. The house has been a fixed part of the Bayreuth cultural scene for years and has been awarded for its commitment. This connection of voluntary cultural work, careful selection, and an attentive audience gives the event its special charm.

An afternoon for film lovers, families, and the curious

For visitors, a cinema experience emerges with an unusual perspective, clear style, and strong narrative pull. Anyone seeking a work that entertains, irritates, and touches will find a rewarding discovery here. Life Views of a Hen promises an exciting, cleverly constructed, and stylistically idiosyncratic afternoon in Bayreuth – an event to be not only seen but experienced.
