Eventkino: Zwischen den Fronten (mit Gespräch)

In the organizer's words:

DE 2024, 145 min., Director: Irina Heckmann, OmU (original with subtitles), FSK o. A.*

Director Irina Heckmann travels to Russia with a German tour group in 2017. Using historical photos and diary entries as well as observational documentary images, her film tells of encounters between people whose parents or grandparents are connected by their experiences of the Second World War. The conflict triggered in the filmmaker by Russia's attack on Ukraine also runs through the film. In brief moments of rapprochement, many questions remain unanswered - above all, however, the question of the meaning of war.

The director Irina Heckmann and Klaus Wegener, President of Auslandsgesellschaft Dortmund, will be guests for a subsequent film discussion.

An event in cooperation with the Auslandsgesellschaft Dortmund.
