The Rise And Fall of the Wall – The Cinema of East Germany
Look at This City
Schaut auf diese Stadt
Karl Gass
1962 • German Democratic Republic • 85’
Fast-paced montages represent West Berlin as the frontline of neo-fascism, terrorism and neo-colonialism, against which the peaceful city of East Berlin requires an “antifascist defense.” A strikingly modernist propaganda piece, it uses rare authentic images and newsreels from both sides to justify the erection of the Berlin Wall on August 13, 1961.
