- Juliane Film "Our Children"
- This film documents marginalized youth communities—such as goths, skinheads,
antifascists, punks and neo-Nazis—in late 1980s East Berlin. While subcultures
were ignored and denied in official GDR discourse, Our Children offers an unbiased
portrayal of these communities and their alternative lifestyles, addressing the
taboo topics of non-conformity, rebellion and alterity (excerpt from DEFA Teaching Guide) - We will watch the first parts of the film in class. The historical time is the GDR of the late 1980s.
- For this session: Read some internet sources about the historical time of the film's content - preferably in German, of course.
