In
1968, paragraph 175,
which made homosexual behavior punishable by law, was abolished
in the German Democratic Republic.
At first homosexuality was considered a negligible, somehow suspicious
issue in 'real existing socialism'. The nuclear family constituted
the center of social society.
“Out in East Berlin” tells the various, impressive-to-absurd personal
histories of gay men and lesbians during socialistic GDR until the
fall of the Berlin Wall. Their experiences on the path to a self-conscious,
outed sexual identity share one specific perspective: They are accompanied
by the watchful eye of the Ministry of State Security (Stasi), which
reached even
their actions in bedroom. Those were recorded in innumerable personal
files. Based on
the homosexual perspective, filmmakers Jochen Hick and Andreas Strohfeldt
elucidate
the political picture of the GDR,in which citizens are monitored,
spied upon and whose movements are restrained. In addition,they
are called upon to betray one´s own cause: homosexual emancipation.
An exciting, fascinating and vivid portrait of society is created
from impressive interviews,
situational scenes and historical material never shown before.
A film, that especially today possesses actuality and explosiveness.
