First Leipzig Autumn Salon (2008): cast, story & where to watch
2008 · Film
Released in 2008, First Leipzig Autumn Salon is a notable film directed by Lutz Dammbeck, running about 22 minutes.
What it’s about. In 1984, the “First Leipzig Autumn Salon” took place – a risk and a caesura for Dammbeck. Bypassing every state institution, six painters, sculptors and filmmakers organised an art exhibition. It was the first and last of its kind. This recapture of public space through art challenged the government’s monopoly on power and triggered similar activities by other artists in the art centres of the GDR. A brave signal to the SED who saw this exhibition as a “counter-revolutionary development”. After that, there were only two options: regress or leave.
