Günter Reisch

Günter Reisch (24.11.1927-24.2.2014), director: "The filmmaker Günter Reisch helped write DEFA history from beginning to end. He began in the junior studio, became an assistant director, then a director. With comedies and films about the German and international workers' movement, he became known beyond the borders of the GDR. In doing so, he wants to write "history from below", because the true-to-life humanity behind the heroes is always important to him."(DEFA Foundation, translated)
