Pandoras Vermächtnis | Stranger Than Fiction | mit Filmgespräch

In the organizer's words:

PANDORA'S LEGACY

AT 2024 - 87' - DF - Director: Angela Christlieb

With director Angela Christlieb as guest!

To this day, the fractures and contradictions in the life and work of G. W. Pabst, one of the greats of Weimar cinema, invite speculation. Angela Christlieb approaches this important filmmaker through his family: on the one hand, there is Trude, his wife and collaborator, whose thoughts and memories take up a very special space, whose traces lead deep into the material of Pabst's films and reveal hidden autobiographical details; on the other hand, there are his three grandchildren Marion, Daniel and Ben. Their stories not only complement and counter-speak, their own lives outline those of their grandparents. Power, gender relations, emotional distances: PANDORAS VERMÄCHTNIS questions the chain of continuity that family inevitably means.

A somnambulistic journey through the universe of the Pabst family, told in a visually multi-layered and captivating way, between Vienna, Berlin, Paris and Hollywood. A film about dreams, traumas and why we are who we are.

As part of the Stranger Than Fiction documentary film festival!
