Summary
Presented here are nine short films that feature: film director Slatan Dudow; actor Martin Brandt; authors Erich Fried, Erich Weinert, and Arnold Zweig; photographer Walter Ballhause; cartoonist Leo Haas; and journalist Egon Erwin Kisch.. Original interviews with the artists, close family members, and friends are combined with little-known historic film materiaĺ. ђجEast German documentaries often portrayed leftist and liberal artists who were forced into exile by the Nazis. This topic corresponded to the GDŔђةs official antifascist film policies. The production of these films also depended on current propaganda demands: the life of emigres was shown through the lens of contemporary official politics at the time. This explains reductions, omissions, or condensations in the artistśђة portraits. The films offer, beyond their actual topic, a fascinating temporal journey into East German historý.́ђحђوRalf Schenk, Chairman, DEFA Foundation, Berlin.
