Screening of Paweł Pawlikowski's black-and-white film 'Fatherland', about exile and betrayal in divided Germany, with audio description.
Fatherland is coming to Gloucester Guildhall for three screenings across early November. It's the latest from director Paweł Pawlikowski, shot in black and white and running 82 minutes. If you've seen Ida (2013) or Cold War (2018), you'll recognise the territory he's working in here: post-war Europe and the way history weighs on individual lives.
The story is set at the height of the Cold War and follows the celebrated writer Thomas Mann and his daughter Erika—an actress, writer and rally driver in her own right. Together they go on a road trip across a divided and ruined Germany, from the Allied-occupied city of Frankfurt to Soviet-controlled Weimar. It's a story of exile and betrayal, and the black-and-white cinematography is by Łukasz Żal, who also worked with Pawlikowski on Ida and Cold War.
