Synopsis

On the night of 12-13 August 1961, the GDR erected a wall that separated Berlin in two. Very quickly, the cinema takes hold of the subject. In the West as in the East, spies, fugitives, smugglers, agents of the Stasi are waging a cold war that inspires writers and directors - Illustrated by numerous film extracts and punctuated by testimonials from actors and directors, film tells the crossed story of the Wall and German cinema.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 10

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.

Craft leads on file
