In cooperation with the Referat Gleichstellung, Diversität und Gesundheit we present you 2014‘s Oscars Winning Movie ”The Imitation Game“.
Ever since his childhood, Alan Turing (Benedict Cumberbatch) was interested in cryptography. When World War II broke out, he could finally use his exceptional academic knowledge for working in Britain‘s leading cryptography team at Bletchley Park for deciphering German secret messages. Initially rejected by his colleagues, Turing manages to gain control of the project and divert resources to an automatic electronic cryptanalysis machine. Meanwhile, fear of foreign spies and questions about Turing’s sexuality come to light.
Morten Tyldum’s biopic isn’t shy about dramatizing Turing’s Life and changing some details and historicities to fit the narrative structure better. Yet, Cumberbatch’s introverted play and the supporting performances of renowned actors such as Keira Knightley and Charles Dance help to elevate an ordinary biopic to one of the classics of the 2010s. If you haven’t seen it yet and are hungry for another great biopic after Oppenheimer, you should try to catch our screening with free entry.

The movie will be screened at the Helmholtz-Hörsaal starting at 9pm. The admission is free!
