Film enjoyment about Usedom: Inselicht in Rostock's Kunsthalle!

On Thursday, July 17, 2025, the art lovers in Rostock can expect a very special event. At 6 p.m., the film “Inselleicht - Usedomer Pictures” by Heinz Brinkmann will be performed in the Kunsthalle Rostock. The film produced in 2005 revolves around the fascinating art scene on the island of Usedom and illuminates the influences that mass tourism has on the artistic identity of the region. Director Heinz Brinkmann, who was born in 2019 and was born in the seaside resort of Heringsdorf, lets the voices of numerous artists such as Sabine Curio, Volker Köpp and Matthias Weghaupt speak.

Before the film screening, there is the possibility to visit the exhibition "Usedomer Lichter", which starts with a curator in advance at 4 p.m. This impressive collection includes 24 artistic positions that range from the 1930s to the present. The works come from well-known artists, including Otto Niemeyer-Holstein and Oskar Manigk, and show atmospheric landscapes, portraits and still life that perfectly capture the attitude to life on the island. The artwork "Work and Recreation II (on the Fischerstrand)" from 1953/54 could be a highlight that can be seen in the Kunsthalle.

The exhibition "Usedomer Lights" is more than just a compilation of beautiful pictures.

Since the 19th century, the island of Usedom has been attracting a number of artists who found and continue to find creative freedom there. In the current collection, works of classical artists and younger talents such as Oskar Manigk and Matthias Wegaupt, who continue the tradition of their role models and at the same time take new ground.

After the film screening, the organizers invite you to exchange about the film and the artists presented, accompanied by Melanie Ohst, the curator of the exhibition.
