Vatersland poster
5.3

An emotional journey back to the 50s and 60s: Through photos and film footage from her childhood, the 48-year-old filmmaker Marie remembers growing up in bourgeois post-war Germany. Marie is once again confronted with the early death of her mother and the excessive demands of her conservative father. He has no understanding for her and deports her to a Catholic girls' boarding school. A youth characterized by constant rebellion against the mustiness of the post-war years and against a society that expects one thing above all from girls: to smile nicely into the camera and under no circumstances direct the film themselves!

Der Bund Deutscher Mädel poster
NR

German League of Girls in the Hitler Youth movement. By age 10, all German girls were required to join the BDM. The BDM was the female organization under the Hitler Youth. At age 17 the girls could join the Belief and Beauty movement within the BDM. The primary focus of both movements was special training to become good wives mothers and homemakers. They learned cooking, sewing, child care . They learned all about Germany's leader Adolf Hitler and Nazism. My mother grew up in Nazi Germany and her stories about the BDM were very interesting. The children were not involved in the atrocities that occurred.

The story of a woman who has to choose between two men. Shot in black and white and in the classic silent movie format. There is no camera movement, neither a pan nor a drive and certainly no zoom. Everything is extremely simple: the title, the title credits, the music (a flute sonata by Bach), the story that is told.
