DEFA Package in IFFK 2011

Deutsche Film-Aktiengesellschaft

DEFA was founded in the Spring of 1946 in the Soviet zone of occupation in Germany as the first film production company in post-War Germany. While the other Allies, in their zones of occupation, viewed a rapid revival of a German film industry with suspicion, the Soviets valued the medium as a primary means for re-educating the German populace as it emerged from twelve years of Nazi rule and mindset.

The DEFA package also is screened in IFFK to give a detailed picture of the socio-economic conditions of the post-war East Germany, and the Berlin Wall is definitely prominent.
Deutschland Endstation Ost, The Legend of Paul And Paula, the Sons of Great Dear, the Architects, Traces of Tones, After Winter Comes Spring, Girls in Wittstock and the Escape are the films of DEFA which is going to roll in the film buff heads.
