Documentary Positions:

Pavel Schnabel

After emigrating to West Germany in 1968, Pavel Schnabel, who was born in Czechoslovakia, became a sought-after cameraman and committed documentary filmmaker with an interest in both everyday life and the major turning points of the 20th century. His eye for detail and people's everyday, often unconscious behaviors is unique, and his interest in contradictions and complex relationships is fascinating.

Coups d'état

From coups staged in front of rolling cameras to the use of social media to attack the separation of powers: the series Coups d'état is a collaboration with the Mosse Lectures at Humboldt University in Berlin and presents documentary, feature and essay films from the last 20 years that show political upheavals from very different perspectives.
