Animated films by GDR amateurs
Director: Lieselotte Schließer, Ulf Grenzer, Manfred Seifert and others, GDR 1956-1989, ca. 90 min
GDR amateur filmmakers turned to animation with imagination and fresh humour. Over 200 short films were made, often satirical and surprisingly critical. The programme brings together rare examples of this filmmaking and focuses on Saxon actors - such as Lieselotte Schließer, Manfred Seifert and the Pionierfilmstudio Dresden.
- Moderator: Dr Ralf Forster, film historian and DIAF board member, Potsdam
- Admission 7 €
- Admission 30 minutes before the film starts
