  • Andreas Voigt's Leipzig Pentalogy, 1986–96
    5: The Extraordinary in the Ordinary: Andreas Voigt’s Leipzig Pentalogy, 1986–96 <fl>WHILE MANY OF THE LAST FEATURE FILMS produced at DEFA in the final years experienced a much-delayed show of interest by audiences, documentary films often garnered immediate attention, as they functioned as reflective mirrors for the political and social upheavals of 1989. But like the feature films made between 1989 and 1992, the lasting value of these documentary films is only emerging years after the events they depict. Looking at Andreas Voigt’s series of five documentary films about Leipzig from 1986 to 1996 from the perspective of twenty-five years after the fall of the wall confirms a statement by cinematographer Thomas Plenert at the Leipzig documentary festival in 1989: “I think it is important that a film retain its relevance for many years.”i This unique pentalogy of films captures the changing mood from before the mobilization of GDR citizens— through their protests—and the ensuing dramatic changes, including the disappearance of the GDR itself. They do so directly, as they focus on the protests of 1989 and topics such as monetary union, restructuring of the social, economic, and legal system of the former GDR, and the effect on peoples’ workplace, among others. But more interestingly, the films reflect the changes in the country indirectly in their own changing foci, beginning with a film that was Voigt’s diploma film for graduation from the film academy (HFF) Babelsberg and ending with a film jointly financed by a German public broadcasting station (MDR), state and federal film subsidies, and a private production company (A Jour Production).

Ao mesmo tempo, várias obras fazem sucesso até hoje em dia. O filme da DEFA de mais sucesso desde sua estreia em 1973 (com mais de 3 milhões de espectadores) até hoje é A lenda de Paul e Paula2. Heiner Carow conseguiu capturar no seu filme uma sensação de vida que não só impressionou o público dos anos 70, mas que prende os espectadores de quase todos os tempos. Seu filme Coming Out3 também marcou a história do cinema: a trama de um professor jovem que descobre sua homossexualidade não só quebrou vários tabus, mas também teve sua estreia em Berlim Oriental no dia 9 de novembro de 1989, dia da queda do Muro.

  • Interview with Director Herwig Kipping, by Erika Richter and Rolf Richter, Was Published in Film Und Fernsehen (6-7/1991)
    Written Interview with Herwig Kipping_PDF - Wende Flicks 07.09.09 13:44 Seite 1 An Act of Love A Conversation with Herwig Kipping This interview with director Herwig Kipping, by Erika Richter and Rolf Richter, was published in Film und Fernsehen (6-7/1991). Herwig Kipping, born in 1948, studied mathematics for nine semesters, went into the army for three years, interned at GDR television, studied directing at the Academy for Film and Television in Potsdam-Babelsberg, caused a sensation with his final project film Hommage à Hölderlin, was fired from GDR television for refusing work and filmed his first feature film with the DaDaeR production group at the DEFA film studios in 1990. Erika Richter and Rolf Richter spoke with him about his debut film, chaos, and what he always wanted to say, but no one dared write. – A DVD Release by the DEFA Film Library – A DVD Release by the DEFA E. R.: Work on Das Land hinter dem Regenbogen (The Land beyond the Rainbow) began in 1986. At that time, it was inconceivable that it might really be made into a film. In intial discussions after the film [came out], it was described as a kind of exorcism. The extreme images that can now be seen were surely not what you were thinking of in 1986. No, but I wanted to go back to the source, to the time when I began to accept socialism. In the beginning, the story was called Ich–Aufstand der Seele (transl. I–Uprising of the Soul). For me, “uprising” meant something like “resurrection” or “beginning.” I wanted to consciously search for the beginning.

  • Interview with Director Jörg Foth
    Written Interview with Joerg Foth_PDF - Wende Flicks 07.09.09 16:27 Seite 1 Interview with Jörg Foth: Director of Latest from the Da-Da-R by Hiltrud Schulz After an initial assistantship as a director with GDR television, you moved to the DEFA Feature Film Studio. When was that exactly? Considering that a transition from television to DEFA was not easy, how did this change come about in your case? The differences between television and DEFA had to do with the fact that television was a part of the state apparatus that was primarily responsible for propaganda, while DEFA was a state- owned enterprise—a so-called VEB1—which met its annual production plan more like a busi- ness in a cultural industry. All East Germans who wanted to study at the Academy for Film and Television had to be delegated by a film or television company and had the obligation to go back to that company for at least three years after they were done studying. In my last year in the Navy, GDR television announced in the papers that it was seeking director- Film Library – A DVD Release by the DEFA interns. In addition to GDR Channel 2, there would perhaps be a third channel. (This never came about, however.) I applied to the television station as a directing intern, spent a year there, was delegated to study directing, and returned at the beginning of 1977, six months late. But I couldn’t handle working there for three years. The television was revolted by my student films, and I was revolted by television.
