Film & retrospective introduction by Sara Stevenson, Executive Director, German Film Office
With The State I Am In, Christian Petzold definitively emerged as one of German cinema’s masters—and one of the preeminent chroniclers of the nation’s recent history. What at first seems a normal family on vacation is soon revealed to be something more complex: the couple are former Red Army Faction operatives, on the run since the 1970s. In tow is their teenage daughter, who hungers for a normal life. Adrift in a Europe that has all but forgotten them, the family finds its old dreams of a revolutionary future fading in the bright glare of the present. (Germany, 2000, 106 mins, German, Portuguese | Christian Petzold)
