Celebrating Twenty Years of German Unity
The Barnsdall Gallery Theater, 4800 Hollywood Blvd, Los Angeles, CA
Sunday, October 3, 2010
To mark the 20th anniversary of German reunification, The Wende Museum hosted an advanced, rough-cut screening of the documentary film Germany Reunified: The Other Side of the Wall, produced by Gabriele Hayes and directed by Mark Hayes with support from The Wende Museum. The film explores the ongoing cultural impact of Germany’s reunification in 1990. (Original footage of East German life shot by the filmmakers is interwoven with gripping personal stories). This special screening was preceded by a reception held in Barnsdall Art Park and followed by a panel discussion and moderated by KCRW host of Politics of Culture Edward Goldman, featuring the filmmakers and the Museum’s Executive Director Justinian Jampol.
