DANCE & CINEMA AT COTTBUS OBENKINO
Under the title "Dance & Cinema", choreographer and presenter Michael Apel ties movie and dancing together in Cottbus cinema "Obenkino". On 7 December 2011 the movie night was Irish-flagged, introducing Irish dance in film and show.

Erin Circle had been invited to enhance interesting film clips as live-act.

A clip from the film "Take me out to the ball game" showed Gene Kelly singing about the "hat his dear old father wore upon St. Patrick's Day", while tap-dancing for all one's worth, albeit in more American than Irish style.

Finally the film "The Guard" presented "Mad-Eye Moody" Brendan Gleeson as politically not really correct Irish cop.

It was Franzi's 50th gig with Erin Circle.
