Film Series for Made in Germany?—Intergenerational Identities

Magda Korsinsky’s KNITTING, the Documentary (2020; original German title: STRICKEN, der Dokumentarfilm) features interviews with six Black German women whose fathers were Black and mothers were white. Focusing on their relationships with their white grandmothers who lived during the Nazi regime, the women detail how racism shaped their family histories while also articulating how categories like race, gender, and heritage fail to define who they are. James Gregory Atkinson’s 6 Friedberg-Chicago (2021) is set in the American Ray Barracks in Friedberg, Germany, where Atkinson was raised by his Black American father and white German mother. Through pose, gesture, and choreography, the 17 men in the film—whose fathers or grandfathers were also stationed in Friedberg—reactivate the military space and complicate the notion of belonging to a distinct identity. Viewers may find the content of these films disturbing.
