A large number of analogue prints of the films of the revolutionary Latin American cinema of the 1960s/70s can be found in the Arsenal archive and the Federal Archives. The paths they took to get there also give an account of collaborations between East and West German film festivals, distributors and archives despite the Iron Curtain. Join this discussion about the history and the significance of institutional collaboration today.

Anita Killi traces Trollfilm’s journey from the first multiplane stand and her 1992 film “The Glass Ball” to a new stand planned for 2026. She explores analogue animation as a tool for approaching themes that are difficult to talk about directly, inviting viewers to be co-creators.

Helena Třeštíková has left her mark on longitudinal observation like few other filmmakers, capturing chronicles of life at the very centre of society and at its fringes. Moderated by Grit Lemke, this masterclass offers personal insights into the Czech director’s working methods and documentary ethics.
