MISSVERSTEHEN SIE MICH RICHTIG Andreas Dresen zu Gast bei Gregor Gysi

Andreas Dresen meets Gregor Gysi. As one of the most influential German film directors, Dresen tells of social realities, upheavals and the quiet nuances of everyday life. His award-winning films (e.g. "Halt auf freier Strecke", "Gundermann" or "Rabiye Kurnaz vs. George W. Bush") are close to the people, sensitively observed, authentic and with a clear eye for social fractures and hopes at the same time.

In conversation, Dresen and Gysi meet two personalities with very different East German biographies and two celebrities who know the public from very different perspectives: Film art and politics, cultural reflection and parliamentary experience. How does art influence political discourse? What role do stories, images and emotions play in social understanding? And where can culture open up spaces that political debates alone can hardly reach?

Look forward to insights behind the scenes of film, politics and society and to a conversation that is open, thought-provoking and surprising with new perspectives on our present.
