Status and Terrain
When first viewing Zustand und Gelände, we might be under the impression it belongs to a well-known tradition of historical documentaries. Long shots, extremely slow all-round views, steady panning: the image patiently describes a series of urban sites and landscapes of the former German Democratic Republic (Saxony and Thuringia). Through highly elaborate arrangements of archives from different sources (police reports, survivors’ testimonies, administrative correspondence, and more), an o -screen voice establishes what these places set the stage for in March 1933: the Nazi concentration system and an elimination regime of all political opposition. Especially noteworthy, in this film, is the extremely attentive channelling towards still unknown times and geographies of the horror Hitler inflicted on the first victims: people with sympathies for communism, activists, trade unionists, socio-democratic journalists, and so on.

"The White Guard": Birth of a Novel
The White Guard is the first novel by Mikhail Afanasyevich Bulgakov. It describes the events of the Civil War in Ukraine in 1918-1919. The work was conceived by the author as a large-scale trilogy about the civil war, but the author wrote only the first part of it. Confirmation that Bulgakov worked on the second and third parts of the novel are the stories "The Raid", "On the Night of the Third Number", "I Killed" and others. The film is dedicated to the centenary of the writing of the novel "The White Guard", to the centenary of the civil war in Russia. This is an attempt to analyze the scale of the historical tragedy through the prism of the views of a great artist.
