Cinema release: JOHNNY & ME - A TIME TRAVEL WITH JOHN HEARTFIELD

Movie Synopsis:
Graphic designer Stephanie is in the midst of a creative crisis. Boring advertising jobs and a boss who doesn't value her work. During a visit to a museum, she is magically drawn to the satirical photomontages of world-famous colleague and Nazi opponent John Heartfield. Then the miracle happens. She ends up in his studio, where she finally picks up scissors and paper again. An adventurous journey through Heartfield's remarkable life 100 years ago begins.
Bertold Brecht called him one of the most important European artists. In 1918, Rosa Luxemburg personally handed over the party card to the communist of the first hour. George Grosz and Kurt Tucholsky were among his closest friends and artistic companions. He himself adopts an English name in protest against German warmongering. For the Nazis, however, the father of political photomontage John Heartfield quickly became one of the most dangerous enemies of the state. He spends years on the run in Europe and later finds no safe home in the socialist GDR.
