FILM STILL Flucht - BRD 2000, Regie: Peter Nestler
With the kind support of the Deutsche Kinemathek, they are pleased to present "Flucht" (2000) by Peter Nestler, a documentary about the escape routes of the painter Leopold Mayer.
Short description:
In 1934, the Jewish painter Leopold Mayer, originally from France, was forced to leave Germany. He traveled to Luxembourg, Belgium, England, and France, but was never granted a residence permit. He was interned in Vichy government camps but managed to escape repeatedly. A cycle of paintings painted by Leo Maillet—as he called himself since 1942—while on the run form the backbone of the film.

The film is shown in German with English subtitles.
