Behind the Iron Gate
Two documentary excerpts from everyday situations in topographically clearly defined locations, which are also snapshots of a Europe of social and cultural differentiation.
Romanes was created after a video workshop with young Roma and Sinti in a ghetto-like camp on the outskirts of Rome, in which the young people questioned themselves about their lives and desires against the backdrop of a social position determined by exclusion.
In Za Zelazna ̨ Brama an apartment block in the center of Warsaw is portrayed, which was built as a flagship of modern socialist housing in the 1960s on the ruins of the former Jewish ghetto. Holzfeind follows the traces of history in her encounters with today's residents by tracing the legacy of functionalist architecture and its legitimization in the social fabric of Warsaw.
