Konrad Wolf – Cinematic Art and the Culture of Remembrance
Film Screenings|Commemorating the end of the Second World War 80 years ago, this series continues with films by Konrad Wolf as 2025 marks the Konrad Wolf Year.
The Konrad Wolf Year 2025 marks a historic turning point: 80 years after the end of the Second World War, collective memory is beginning to change – from the communicative memory of contemporary witnesses to cultural memory, as described by cultural scientists Jan and Aleida Assmann. In this context, the Goethe-Institut Glasgow and the University of St Andrews invite you to rediscover Wolf's films and reflect on how history is perpetuated through images and narratives.
As part of this exploration, we are showing a four-part film series, curated by Professor Seán Allan, that places Konrad Wolf's work in the context of contemporary memory culture. The series is part of the programme ‘80 Years: Past, Present – Future?’, which examines how memory is shaped today – and what role cinema plays in this process.
