About

On 20 October 2022, accredited festival visitors could meet with international archives at the market place, find out about their footage and stills collections and forge connections with the archive representatives.

The accompanying panel programme presented exciting case studies, discussions and a masterclass by Mila Turajlić offers insights into the nuts and bolts of archival work and explores the artistic process of archive driven documentaries.

In one-on-one speed consultations archive researchers and archive producers gave advice on researching and licensing footage for documentary projects.

The Archives

A bird’s eye view on a street where five cars stand in the middle of the street, all with doors open. The two cars in the centre have broken windows. Shards lie around.

Film Screening – Gladbeck: The Hostage Crisis

Gladbeck, August 1988: Two gangsters rob a bank, take two hostages and embark on an odyssey across West Germany. They hijack a bus carrying thirty passengers. The police lose control of the situation while reporters get a whiff of a sensation and inject themselves into a crime that blossoms into a media event. For three days, an entire nation is glued to television, radio and newspapers – and before it’s all over, two innocent people are dead. 

“Gladbeck: The Hostage Crisis” tells an abysmal story exclusively using archive materials. The film is an unsparing look at the moment when news became merchandise and crime became spectacle – it was the beginning of an era that persists until today.

The screening is followed by a Q&A with director Volker Heise, editor Janine Dauterich, producer Yan Schoenefeld  and Director of Original Documentary Features at Netflix Mark Edwards.

Masterclass Mila Turajlić

Mila Turajlić’s films work on collective memory. Whether she makes archive mate- rial report on the emergence of communist Yugoslavia or analyses the breakup of this multi-ethnic state through her own family history, she always confronts the private with the political. What moves her as an artist and thinker also becomes evident in the carte blanche given to her by DOK Leipzig: Turajlić uses it to present the film of an eminent kindred spirit.
