Introduction by Theo van Eert
Theo van Eert (born 14 February 1986) previously worked as a fully qualified history teacher with a passion for how perceptions are shaped, representation, and tangible and intangible heritage. His research into historical feature films explores how films often reveal more about the time in which they were released than about the historical subjects they portray.
Fatherland
In the summer of 1949, at the height of the Cold War, writer and Nobel Prize winner Thomas Mann (Hanns Zischler) and his daughter Erika (Sandra Hüller) set out on an emotional road trip through a devastated and fragmented Germany. In a black Buick, they drive from U.S.-controlled Frankfurt to Soviet-occupied Weimar. After sixteen years in exile in the United States, Thomas Mann is confronted not only with a divided homeland but also with a tragedy within his own family.
