The Cinémathèque Leipzig sees itself as a collectively and networked working platform that promotes participatory, emancipatory collaborations and critical perspectives. The association aims to create a place where cultural and social debates can be held, across different art forms. A central concern is the barrier-free accessibility of events for all guests and staff, regardless of their possible limitations, social and economic situations, or interpersonal preferences[3].
