Begegnung mit Gojko 1973

Documentary about the "chief Indian" of DEFA, the actor Gojko Mitić. The popular actor talks about his life. The camera accompanies him as he goes shopping in Berlin: we get to know a young, dynamic and extremely likeable man. The viewer learns interesting facts about his work at DEFA and Gojko's attitude towards the Indians he portrays in the film. In Romania, the main filming location for "Ulzana", test shots were made which show that Gojko does not allow himself to be doubled and how hard he has to train for it. The film ends with the summer film festival in Schkölen, the subsequent sporting activities and conversations with young pioneers. Afterwards, Gojko barbecues for the children before picking up his guitar to sing with the Young Pioneers around the campfire.

Berlin - Hauptstadt der DDR I 1970

"I'm walking through my city...", sings a cheerful pop singer. She fervently praises the new metropolis of East Berlin. As an emphatically lively, often anthemically condensed revue, the film tells of the "growth and development of our new capital". Accompanied by cheerful music, the camera indulges in high-altitude views, shows squares whose fountains, benches and green spaces are designed to make you forget that you are in a big city, as well as visitors from all over the world in top hotels. An emphatically cheerful, yet meaningful insight into the brave new GDR world.
