A documentary film evening full of closeness, longing, and poetic images
With Singing Wings, a film is coming to the screen at DOK.fest Augsburg that tells softly and resonates long after. The German premiere takes us right into the daily life of Mrs. Khaje, whose life revolves around the care of an injured stork - and the question of where one's own heart belongs when farewell is already in the air.
A film that makes a big impact with small gestures
The documentary by Hemen Khaledi combines nature observation, family history, and a quiet form of tension. When Mrs. Khaje takes care of the bird with an improvised fishing rod and a life jacket made of plastic bottles, a cinematic experience full of ingenuity, warmth, and dignity emerges. This is exactly where the special strength of this festival contribution lies: It does not rely on volume, but on a concentrated event atmosphere that draws the audience in immediately.
DOK.fest Augsburg brings international documentary culture to the city
The DOK.fest Munich has been one of the most important documentary film festivals in Europe since 1985 and has been the largest festival of its kind in Germany since 2019. Since 2025, Augsburg has been part of the program as a partner city. With Singing Wings, the series focuses on a work that artfully connects social and emotional levels and thus generates exactly the audience mood for which a good festival stands: attentive, open, and eager to discuss.
Liliom Kino: historic film house with special ambiance
The venue for the evening is the Liliom Kino in the old town of Augsburg. The traditional house on Unteren Graben has been a part of the city's film culture for years and offers a fitting setting for demanding documentaries with its special ambiance. Those looking for a compact, cinematic event experience will find the right mix of closeness to the screen, urban flair, and a concentrated festival atmosphere here.
