action

The first encounter with Joris Ivens place on a cutting table instead as testing, critical and teaching on the film editor acts. The next shot shows photos from his hometown Nijmegen , here his father was a photo dealer and his mother a housewife. After studying for two years at the Technical University in Berlin , he is looking for the reality that this film shows. Excerpts from all of the documentaries mentioned below will be shown.

In 1928 he made his first important film, Regen , which he called a film poem. In Industriale Synphonie he searches for encounters with workers and the beauty of work. In the film New Earth , which he is shooting in the Netherlands , Ivens shows the hard work that, after clever planning, creates the reclamation of new land for new grain. But it also shows that grain is burned in other capitalist countries so that the high prices can be maintained. Joris Ivens is invited to the Soviet Union to film the construction of the industrial giant Magnitogorsk and calls the work Hero's Song .

In the Belgian coalfield Borinage he is shooting the film of the same name, in which he shows the poverty and misery of the miners who see no other way out than the strike . With his film Spanish Earth , he helps spread the truth about the Spanish Civil War , so that even American President Franklin D. Roosevelt praises it. In 1938 he went to China to show in his film The 400 Million how the people united to ward off the Japanese invaders. There is now a theater of war in Europe and Ivens accompanies a convoy from New York City to England in 1943 . From the plane, you can guess in the film Action Station how many ships are on their way to Europe, but the fight of several escort ships against German submarines is also shown. Joris Ivens fights against fascism with his means .

With the film Indonesia calls , he creates a work that shows solidarity with the Indonesian people until they are liberated. Together with the Soviet documentary filmmaker Roman Karmen , he visits free Cuba . All over the world Joris Ivens meets well-known personalities and colleagues who value his opinion highly. In France he is shooting the film The Seine meets Paris . Finally there is the song of the currents , arguably the greatest film Joris Ivens.
