A film screening of “Meine Mutter, ein Krieg und ich” (D 2014) by Tamara Trampe and Johann Feindt

With an introduction by Matthias Dell

 

“Everything that we know about war, we know from men’s voices,” concludes the seven hours of Wallenstein. A slaughter feast in seven courses. Jan-Christoph Gockel’s production quotes a text by the winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature Svetlana Alexievich – The Unwomanly Face of War, written more than 40 years ago.

Tamara Trampe (1942 – 2021) was born in that war, “shat out” into a field, as she herself said, and had a special, distinctive voice. Meine Mutter, ein Krieg und ich from 2014 is an impressive and enjoyable account: a film that tracks down yellowing photos, distant relatives and her own story which her mother did not like telling. And that keeps having to rub the eye of the camera to be able to see what is happening clearly – a reconciliation with being thrown into war and the world.
