The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping is the sixth installment in the internationally successful film series based on the bestselling novels by American author Suzanne Collins. Again directed by Francis Lawrence and set 24 years before the events of the original The Hunger Games, the film takes place on the morning of the 50th Hunger Games. In the totalitarian nation of Panem, ruled by the Capitol, each district is forced to send young tributes to compete in a televised fight to death, with only one victor emerging. This time, for the so-called Quarter Quell, twice as many tributes are selected, including young Haymitch Abernathy from District 12, who must navigate an arena where survival is only part of the battle.

 

Join us for a special screening of this film, parts of which were shot in Germany in 2025, including locations in Cologne and Duisburg. The pre-film discussion will explore the dystopian world of Panem, examining themes of political power and social inequality and considering what dystopian fiction can reveal about the societies we live in today.
