7th Chinese Film Festival
 Comprehending China and Chinese
culture is becoming increasingly important, and more often than not can
be accomplished through travel or careful study. Immersing oneself into
the storyline of a cinematographically beautiful movie, however, is
another way to go about it.
Running for the seventh time this
year at the Gasteig, which offers several other cultural film festivals
throughout the year, the Chinese Film Festival is set to offer a diverse range of
options for an equally diverse audience. Backed by Munich’s Confucius
Institute, stronger intercultural sensitivity seems to be at the
forefront of this initiative, and on October 1st will be supplemented by
a lively discussion with Chinese and German filmmakers alike.
Location: Various venues within
Gasteig, Rosenheimer Straße 5, 81667 München
Public Transport: S1/S2/S3/S4/S6/S7/S8
Rosenheimer Platz, Tram 17 Am Gasteig

ARTMUC Praterinsel
 Around mid-October, the versatile
event space that is the Praterinsel will be turned into a hub for
contemporary art. With a set of exhibitors and experts on-site, the ARTMUC is currently regarded as one of the
most important art events in southern Germany. You are invited to not
only purchase art, but also to explore it, and to take advantage of the
fact that many of the partaking artists will be on-site. It is
interesting to note that this is not only an opportunity for local
artists, but rather an international platform that brings in overseas
talent, spanning from Luxembourg to Portugal.

The Long
Night of Munich Museums
 Another coveted
annual tradition, the Long Night of Munich
Museums is a night dedicated to the city’s extensive
museum landscape and celebrates its 20th anniversary this year. Apart
from visiting high standard art exhibitions, you can also learn more
about hunting traditions, Ancient Egypt, and the history of public
transport in Munich. A comfortable perk is that shuttle buses will once
again be provided, so you do not have to fret about covering too much additional
distance by foot. 15 euros for a ticket that will enable direct access to
all participating museums and accompanying transport seems like more than
a good deal, and almost all night long at that.
Location: Different museums in Munich, you can find a map with all participating institutions online.
Public Transport: U3/U4/U5/U6 Odeonsplatz; the intersection point
of all shuttle buses
Time: 7 p.m. – 2 a.m.

well as the entrance for up to four children;

Gemworld / Mineraldays Munich – The
Munich Show
Fascination with healing crystals, glittering
gemstones, and a back to nature kind of mentality are definitely
prominent these days. Why not embrace it at this year’s Gemworld Munich? You
will be stunned by some of the natural phenomena that exist in nature,
and how they can be made into something usable and wearable for us all.
Not only is the exhibition very family friendly, with an adventure day in
the Maulwurfland planned for kids, but also for those with general, keen
interest, as you can design your own jewelry and prove your attentiveness
as part of the lecture forum.

The Mountains and Us – 150 Years of German Alpine Club
 If you truly want to get to know
Bavaria, you have to get to know its mountains. The romanticized idea of
hiking and feeling one with the mountainous terrain is definitely
associated with Germany. The Alpine Museum has dedicated an entire
exhibition to it. The Mountains and Us celebrates 150
year passing since the founding of the German Alpine Club (DAV), which
has undertaken plentiful excursions and owns huts that are situated
around the entire country. The exhibition will be showing, among other
things, photographs and documents that showcase some of the history, and
encourage to continue this traditional passion moving forward.
