»A Quiet Resistance« in the film series »WAS WIR FILMTEN: Regisseurinnen mit ostdeutschen Perspektiven«
The film series »Was wir filmten« (»What we were filming«) shows documentaries, current film productions and artistic short films from an East German perspective by women directors from three generations. The series challenges popular narratives about the German reunification and examines them critically. We present films which highlight places, emotions and experiences that have been neglected in the public debate but receive a new awareness now, not least thanks to a young generation. The screenings give space to different perspectives on the unification process and the post-reunification period and introduce new perspectives and narratives.
After the film screenings we invite you to participate in talks and discussions with the directors and other guests.
