GOEAST PRESENTS II / NOVEMBER 2011

PODZIELONA KLASA / DIE GETEILTE KLASSE

PODZIELONA KLASA is the new work by versatile documentary filmmaker Andrzej Klamt.
In 2008 the director went to his hometown in Upper Silesia twice. Searching for his old classmates from school Nr. 5 he discovers that approximately the half left Poland a while ago - most of them emigrated to the Ruhr area.
The film is a rare attempt to keep track of the integration of the so called ethnic German immigrants. In interviews selected ethnic German immigrants tell their personal stories - about their childhood in former communistic Poland and their departure to the “Golden West”. The classmates in Poland were asked what they think about their former fellow students leaving the community. Are there bad feelings or rather best wishes for the smart decision and a better life? Due to shared memories a special bond between the participants evolved. As a result the documentary shows very personal interviews and deep insights in the individuals’ minds.
