Nightsong
Behind the pulpit of the Gothic church, speakers take turns. A thousand names are written on the rustling pages: that’s how many people committed suicide in the town of Demmin in the spring of 1945. For decades, their fate was a taboo subject in Germany. Eighty years after the end of the war, the film classic Hans-Jürgen Sieberberg voices their names and, with the help of Mozart and Brahms, performs a requiem for them, creating a space of remembrance and cross-border cultural solidarity.
