International Film Festival<\/strong> will be ceremoniously opened under strict hygiene measures at the Metropolis Kommunales Kino<\/strong> (Kleine Theaterstr. 10) in Hamburg.\u00a0Internationales Festival des deutschen Film-Erbes<\/strong> (English translation: International Festival of German Film Heritage<\/strong>), which will take place in Hamburg from 12 to 21 November.\u00a0UCM.ONE<\/strong><\/span> is participating again this year as a partner. Starting in spring 2022, cinefest and UCM.ONE<\/strong><\/span> will regularly release selected film gems that play a role in the festival.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text]This year’s festival headline is “Westward. Eastern European filmmakers in Western Europe<\/strong>“. In recent decades, the fate of Jewish filmmakers from Eastern Europe who were driven into exile from German cinematography by the Nazi government’s racial mania has been relatively well researched – not least through cinefest. In addition, however, there are countless Eastern and Central European filmmakers of all trades who worked in Western Europe in the 20th century; their careers are far less researched.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]They came after political upheavals (from the “October Revolution” to the end of the “Prague Spring”), but also to improve their professional opportunities, experiencing highly diverse careers between success and failure.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]For example, the Latvian Marija Leiko<\/strong> came from Riga (then Russian Empire) to Germany, where she made a career as an actress in theatre and silent film. With sound, her film career ended and she returned to Riga. During the Stalinist terror, she was shot by the NKVD in Moscow in 1938 (rehabilitated in 1957). Her partner Janis Guters<\/strong> (Johannes Guter), with whom she had come to Berlin, worked in the theatre until he made his debut as a film director in 1917. He directed numerous films in Weimar cinema, then stayed in Nazi Germany and ended his film career with a series of “Tran und Helle” propaganda shorts. He died in the GDR in 1962.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]In cooperation with colleagues from Eastern European film institutes and archives (e.g. in Prague, Riga and Kiev), the makers of Cinegraph<\/strong> are in the process of researching numerous “fractured” careers of filmmakers from Eastern to Western Europe and want to present an interesting cross-section of such largely forgotten filmmakers at cinefest 2021<\/strong>.[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_single_image image=”58868″ img_size=”full” onclick=”custom_link” img_link_target=”_blank” link=”https:\/\/cinefest.de\/festival\/shop-cinefest-2020\/” css=”.vc_custom_1636781593690{padding-top: 1px !important;padding-right: 1px !important;padding-bottom: 1px !important;padding-left: 1px !important;background-color: #a8a8a8 !important;border-radius: 1px !important;}”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″ css=”.vc_custom_1573999912692{border-radius: 2px !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”58863″ img_size=”full” onclick=”custom_link” img_link_target=”_blank” css=”.vc_custom_1636781381679{padding-top: 1px !important;padding-right: 1px !important;padding-bottom: 1px !important;padding-left: 1px !important;background-color: #a8a8a8 !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;border-radius: 1px !important;}” link=”https:\/\/cinefest.de\/”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

The organisers:<\/span><\/h3>\n

CineGraph – Hamburgisches Centrum f\u00fcr Filmforschung e.V.<\/a> – created in 1989 from the editing of the encyclopaedia of the same name<\/a> – communicates the results of its academic and cultural-historical work to a film-interested public through congresses, retrospectives, seminars, exhibitions and publications and has established itself internationally as a specialist institution through its publications and events.<\/p>\n

Since 1990, the Bundesarchiv-Filmarchiv<\/a>, based in Berlin, has been the official co-organiser of the film history CineGraph congresses. The many years of successful cooperation between the archive and the film history centre within the framework of the congresses have encouraged the two partners in their endeavour to jointly dedicate a new series of events to the German film heritage.<\/p>\n

The Bundesarchiv-Filmarchiv<\/strong> and CineGraph<\/strong> are members of the German\u00a0Cinematheque Network<\/strong>.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
