Ostpreußen – Entschwundene Welt
"East Prussia – A Vanished World" is a documentary for the big screen, a narrative film that relies on the movie theater as a window into another era. This cinematic documentary is a pure compilation film. There are no staged scenes, no statements from eyewitnesses or experts, and no new footage. The documentary draws exclusively on film sources—and, at the beginning, on audio sources as well. Since over 80 percent of the footage was shot by amateurs, East Prussia – A Vanished World also frequently takes on a biographical tone.
