Documentary by Fatih Akin
(D 2001, 60 mins, German)
In his first documentary film, Fatih Akin tells the classic immigrant story of his family. His father came as a migrant worker from Turkey to Germany in 1965, stayed here – contrary to the original plan – and started a family. Akin interviewed numerous people from his family’s environment and paints a complex picture of German-Turkish life.

Unsere Vertreibung 1968 (Our expulsion, 1968)
Documentary by Lidia Drozdzynski
(D 2008, 45 mins, German)
Polish Jews have been expelled from their home in their thousands since 1968. The government had attempted to divert the population’s outrage about the severe political and economic problems with an antisemitic campaign. Lidia Drozdzynski’s documentary goes on a very personal search for traces.
When: Monday 12 December at 7.30 pm
