Kino: Mädchen in Uniform

In the organizer's words:

Films as a threat to morality, nationalism and discipline?
Film series for the conference "Prussia and Osnabrück. A history of relationships"

Prussia and the warehouse, how does that fit together? The context for the three-part "Prussian Film Series" is provided by the Landschaftsverband Osnabrücker Land e.V. together with the University of Osnabrück from September 25 to 27 with the conference "Prussia and Osnabrück. A History of Relations". It will be framed not only by a top-class panel discussion, but also by three exciting classic films.

The final film in the "Prussia" series, MÄDCHEN IN UNIFORM from 1931, takes a completely different approach to lesbian love on the border between inclination and prohibition: The film, with an all-female cast, was directed by Leontine Sagan based on a screenplay by Christa Winsloe. The action takes place in a strictly 'Prussian' girls' convent in Potsdam. The plot revolves around the conflict between an understanding teacher, a devoted pupil and the harsh matron, which ultimately has dramatic consequences. The Volksbühne found that the film "thoroughly clears up all moral and religious hypocrisy". And the film critic Rudolf Arnheim recommended at the end of 1931: "A film to which all film opponents should be driven by emergency decree." Romy Schneider and Lilli Palmer played the leading roles in the 1958 remake.

D 1931, FSK: from 12, 88 min.; Director: Leontine Sagan. With Emilia Unda, Dorothea Wieck, Hedwig Schlichter, Hertha Thiele and others.
