Meeting online with directors after the film “Songs of Repression”
In English with Polish interpreter
At the foot of the Andes Mountains in Chile lies an idyllic German colony. Tourists come and enjoy the nature, the pool and traditional German cuisine. However, the beauty of the place contains a grim past. In 1961, German preacher Paul Schäfer and his congregation moved here with the stated aim of helping the poor. They established Colonia Dignidad (Colony of Dignity), which transformed into a sect. This film explores how the residents of the colony deal with 45 years of child abuse, collective beatings, slave-like living conditions and mass graves. What protagonists of the film are thinking about their past?
We are going to talk about that during the meeting with directors of the film - Estephan Wagner and Marianne Hougen-Moraga.
Moderator:
Agnieszka Maciejewska - for many years a journalist of Radio Merkury - Regional Broadcasting Station of the Polish Radio in Poznań. Her editorial subject was, among others, cinema, in various forms.
