(Reichsautobahn)
Hartmut Bitomsky / NĚM, 1985
German version, English subtitles, 92 min
"But he did build the motorways ...", even today we still hear this praise of Hitler, however grudging. Altogether the film contradicts the long-standing legend connected with "Hitler's highways" (such as the elimination of unemployment). The autobahn remained a popular subject in magazines, popular novels, radio plays, poems and glossy picture books, is described today by Bitomsky as a "project of Potemkin-like dimensions". Bitomsky's film was awarded the Adolf Grimme Prize in 1987.
The partner of the screening is Goethe Institut Prag.
