The Empty Grave. by Lisa Wegner, Agnes,film director.; Mlay, Cece,film director.; Rushlake Media (Firm),dst; Kanopy (Firm),dst;
Originally produced by Rushlake Media in 2024.THE EMPTY GRAVE follows the emotional journey of two Tanzanian families in search of their stolen ancestors. Their quest leads them to Germany where tens of thousands of human remains from former German colonies are stored in museum depots - a haunting legacy of colonial plunder in the early 20th century, taken for racist research and as macabre trophies.Set in the present, the film unveils the enduring traces and traumas inflicted by colonial crimes on families and communities. It navigates the obscure maze of German and Tanzanian bureaucracy, revealing the struggle to reckon with this painful history. While the issue has gained political attention, the film shifts perspectives and highlights the resilience of the families while probing the complexity of identifying an repatriating these human remains.Mode of access: World Wide Web.

Farewell, Beautiful Forest… or How a Film Was Censored. by Lippmann, Günter,film director.; DEFA Film Library (Firm),dst; Kanopy (Firm),dst;
Originally produced by DEFA Film Library in 1990.An ecological catastrophe in the Ore Mountains on the Czech German border: Foresters and residents desperately try to save this landscape from forest devastation. But they face a doctrinaire state power that turns a blind eye and denies the facts.After the filmmaker’s initial proposal in 1983, permission to film was finally granted in 1987 and the crew shot in the Czech border region of Most and Teplice in 1988. But “forest dieback” was a forbidden word in East Germany. Consequently, none of the film’s eight versions passed censorship and the project was banned. Finally, in 1989/90, after the political changes in East Germany, the original version of the film was reconstructed, and the story about its censorship was included into the film.Mode of access: World Wide Web.
