Andreas Dresen meets Gregor Gysi. As one of Germany's most influential film directors, Dresen explores social realities, upheavals, and the subtle nuances of everyday life. His award-winning films (e.g., "Stopped on Track," "Gundermann," and "Rabiye Kurnaz vs. George W. Bush") are deeply personal, sensitively observed, authentic, and possess a clear vision of both social divisions and hopes.

MISSVERSTEHEN SIE MICH RICHTIG – Andreas Dresen zu Gast bei Gregor Gysi
In this conversation, Dresen and Gysi, two individuals with vastly different East German backgrounds, meet, bringing together two prominent figures who experience the public sphere from very different perspectives: film art and politics, cultural reflection and parliamentary experience.
How does art influence political discourse? What role do stories, images, and emotions play in social understanding? And where can culture open spaces that political debates alone can scarcely reach?
Look forward to insights behind the scenes of film, politics and society, and to a conversation that is open, thoughtful and offers new perspectives on our present.
