Discover, borrow, and rethink the future
How do we want to live in the future? The media exhibition "Media with a View: Future to Borrow" invites visitors to the Central Library Mannheim starting October 20, 2026, to view societal changes, technological innovations, and possible future scenarios from new perspectives.
Literature and film about possible futures
In conjunction with the 75th International Film Festival Mannheim-Heidelberg, the City Library presents a curated selection from literature and film. Fantastic worlds, science fiction, technological developments, and social change are at the forefront. Between novels, non-fiction books, and films, a diverse media perspective emerges on the questions that shape our present and future.
Media exhibition with direct benefits
The special aspect of this event experience: All displayed media can be borrowed directly. Visitors take home not only impressions and thought-provoking ideas but also concrete reading and film recommendations for their personal engagement with the future, technology, and cohabitation.
Part of the Imagine Futures campaign
The exhibition is part of the anniversary campaign "Imagine Futures!" on the occasion of the 75th International Film Festival Mannheim-Heidelberg. This connects the City Library's media education, cultural participation, and event planning with a festival theme that stimulates reflection on possible futures.
Visit during regular opening hours
The exhibition is accessible from October 20 to November 14, 2026, at the Central Library in the City Hall N1. The event atmosphere remains consciously open and inspiring: Without a fixed stage program, guests can explore the selection at their own pace, delve into topics, and borrow suitable media immediately.
Conclusion
"Media with a View: Future to Borrow" makes future questions tangible and connects film festival, library, and societal dialogue. Those interested in science fiction, literature, film, technology, and new forms of cohabitation will experience an exhibition with sustainable benefits in Mannheim. Come by, browse, and take your personal future reading home with you.
