Screening with a Colombian delegation, event at the German Cinematheque - Museum of Film and Television, organised by the CAPAZ Institute and GUMELAB, 14.12.2023

A Colombian delegation participated in the event "Tackling the Past of State Crimes: Collective Memory and Historical-Political Education in a Transregional Dialogue between Colombia and Germany", organised by the Justus Liebig University Giessen and the German-Colombian Peace Institute CAPAZ. The delegation consisted of professors, activists, members of truth commissions and observers of the peace negotiations in Colombia. GUMELAB organised with them a screening and guided tour at the German Cinematheque - Film and Television Museum, which focused on political education through the media. Scenes from three different Colombian series, which tell the story of the Siege of the Palace of Justice and the violent military counterattack on 6 and 7 November 1985, were shown from different perspectives, and the possible impact on a national and international audience was discussed with the participants. The event is part of the transfer activity of the GUMELAB project and was made possible thanks to the cooperation with the German-Colombian Peace Institute CAPAZ.
