Achsensprung und andere Verluste. Die TV-Spiele des Dieter Forte. Vortrag von Dr. Enno Stahl

In the organizer's words:

In addition to his radio work, Dieter Forte also wrote several ambitious TV plays, particularly in the 1970s. Today, when he is usually associated more with his great novel cycle "Tetralogy of Memory", this fact has been somewhat forgotten.

Among other things, he provided scripts for films such as "Sonntag" (ARD 1975, director: Niels-Peter Rudolph, camera: Michael Ballhaus), "Achsensprung" (ARD 1977, director: Rolf von Sydow), "Gesundheit!" and "Der Aufstieg oder Ein Mann geht verloren" (ARD 1979 and 1980 respectively, both directed by Peter Patzak). These film scripts were published in 1980 under the title "Fluchtversuche".

In the style of the new objectivity, Forte criticizes in these works the coldness of meritocracy, the alienation of people from their environment. Enno Stahl provides an overview of Forte's film work with representative examples of scenes and integration into the historical context.
