About event
Summer cinema under the open sky! Peer beneath the surface of the myths and discover the chilling truth about a woman who lent her genius to evil in Riefenstahl's provocative documentary.
As a director, she created iconographic images. After the Second World War, she always tried to deny her ideological closeness to the Nazi regime and strictly rejected any connection between her art celebrating beauty, health and strength and the regime's terror. Leni Riefenstahl authorized only one version of her biography, her own. However, the legacy of one of the most controversial women of the 20th century tells a different story. Private films and photographs, recorded phone calls with her companions and personal letters. Award-winning documentary filmmaker Andres Veiel and television journalist Sandra Maischberger were the first to gain access to the 700-box estate. They aimed to look deeper into the life and work of the controversial artist.
