Once We Are Dancing
2018, German. Directed by Olaf Winkler & Dirk Heth & Dirk Lienig.
The town of Hoyerswerda is emblematic of the demise of the GDR. Everything that this town represented was swallowed up by the fall of communism. The people were left without any market worth. A citizens’ dance project helps them to live with the shame. A sensually choreographed, empathetic film.
