An intimate documentary film experience about closeness, identity, and family
With Becoming Kim, the Red Hall in the castle presents a documentary film evening on September 17, 2026, that starts quietly and resonates long after. The DOKfilm in the Red Hall series is one of the oldest documentary film series in Braunschweig and has stood for demanding topics, strong images, and an audience that understands cinema as a reason for conversation for years.
An evening for attentive viewers
The film presents a very personal portrait of a Korean-German relationship and opens a glimpse into a family negotiating their everyday life, feelings, and future between Asia and Europe. This creates a unique event atmosphere: focused, approachable, and supported by the quiet power of a well-told documentary film.
The Red Hall as a cultural address with character
The venue on the third floor of the north wing at Schlossplatz 1 combines a central location with cultural radiance. The cultural institute of the city of Braunschweig has been offering the Red Hall as a platform for theater, music, literature, and documentary film since 2007. More than 100 events per year make the hall a fixed point in Braunschweig's event calendar.
