Look at this City (Schaut auf diese Stadt)
Dec 14 - Dec 15, 2009
(Carl Gass, 1962, East Germany, Beta-SP, 85 min)
Look at this City chronicles the history of West Berlin from the end of WWII to the days following the building of the Wall on August 13, 1961, from the perspective of the leaders of the GDR. The film was intended to prove how important and necessary the closing of the border was for the preservation of the German Democratic Republic and argued that the GDR, with the creation of the Wall, would be able to secure the possibility of peace in Europe and throughout the world. Today, Look at this City remains a provocative and informative time capsule from the Cold War.
