Movie Screening „Letztes Jahr Titanic”Tomorrow, 28 November, the film "Last Year Titanic (Letztes Jahr Titanic)" (1991) will be shown in the presence of director Andreas Voigt. The documentary tells the story of people in Leipzig around 1989/1990 and the uncertainty towards the end of the GDR. The film is tragedy and grotesque at the same time and in an irritating way a testimony of the time as well as highly up-to-date.
The screening is part of the kick-off conference of the BMBF joint project The controversial heritage of 1989 - appropriations between politicisation, popularisation and historical-political mediation of history (Das umstritten Erbe von 1989 – Aneignungen zwischen Politisierung, Popularisierung und historisch-politischer Geschichtsvermittlung) and is organised in cooperation with the Archive of Social Democracy of the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung. The film is in German with English subtitles, entry is free.
Time: 7 p.m. Venue: Lecture Hall, Bibliotheca Albertina
