In the organizer's words:
On the 80th anniversary of the liberation from National Socialism, two film evenings invite you to take an unusual look at history - not the newsreels, but the intimate, authentic footage of European amateur filmmakers who used their small cameras to capture everyday life before, during and after the collapse of the Nazi regime. Presented by director Michael Kuball - a pioneer in Germany in the research of this unique film heritage - "Boogie Woogie Victory " shows the last years of the war up close: from the retreat of the Wehrmacht to the advance of the Allies, from Nazi terror in Poland to the resistance of the Italian partisans and the French Resistance to the liberation celebrations in May 1945. The film is introduced by a reading by Christoph Wehr with live music by Alessandro Palmitessa.
On the second evening, Michael Kuball presents "Geliebtes Leben - Soul of a Century", a captivating panorama of the 20th century, assembled from the private footage of 39 amateur filmmakers: from Sunday outings in the 1930s to everyday life during the war and the post-war period. In this unique mosaic, we meet Marie Curie in Paris, Freud in Vienna, the baker at Dachau concentration camp and soldiers at the front.
A journey through time beyond rhetoric and pathos that makes history tangible in its clear, immediate reality.
Funded by the City of Cologne. With the kind support of Filmbüro NW
