Between 1962 and 1989, the Leipziger Dokumentarfilmwoche screened more than 150 films from the U.S. that, due to their critical stance towards their own country, were considered by the GDR to be representative of “another America.” The “Un-American Activities” Retrospective is an invitation to re-discover this hitherto neglected aspect of Leipzig’s festival history.

This year, the retrospective also includes curated film programmes at Luru Kino from 24.10.–8.11. Find out what's on when and where here. Tickets for the programmes before and after the festival are available at the Luru Cinema.
