The Lasting Formation / Heimatkunde
by Christian Bäucker
(Documentary, Germany, 2021, 88’, C, En ST)
The director returns 25 years later to visit his abandoned childhood school in East Germany. Documents and posters of the period are still there. Interventions by former teachers and students explain and tackle the issue of organized education during the Communist period and its sequels today.
“The film manages to present a differentiated image of the school system in the GDR, juxtaposing its educational mission and indoctrination. This film would not have been possible 10 years ago.” Ina Borrmann, DOK.fest 2021
