German with German subtitles

Come down to the club to watch German-language TV, films, documentaries and other programming. You'll find us upstairs in the Hubertus Klause pub in front of the big screen.

This month's presentation is Meine Lieder, Meine Träume, which many of you will know by its original title, The Sound of Music. (Yes, Austria's beloved von Trapp family will sing those classic songs in German!)

Before the feature there will be some clips from German TV looking back at the Year 2009.

Come to watch, come to socialize!
