The film tells the story of the ideological representation of the GDR as an antifascist state through art and culture, which functioned as a way to overwrite the Nazi past of the majority of the GDR citizens. The film consists of personal footage, filmed by Kahane’s grandparents in India in 1960/61.
Leon Kahane, born 1985 in Berlin. He creates conceptual video works, photographs and installations that centre on themes of migration, identity and coming to terms with majorities and minorities in a globalised society.
