Sometimes you want to fly is a documentary from DEFA Studio for Documentaries by Gitta Nickel from 1981 .
action
It begins with a look at the Alt-Marzahn idyll and its inhabitants, often from families who are resident here for generations, close to Berlin and yet ever so far away, and who are not thrilled that they are now surrounded by skyscrapers or even have to submit to the partly imminent demolition of their houses, and who are also sorry for good arable and garden land that is being lost.
Then a youth brigade is shown on the large construction site for residential construction in Berlin-Marzahn , which is the focus of the film. And not to one that is particularly exemplary, but to one that is making less progress on its 13 line than is the case elsewhere. The leader of this brigade is the sympathetic, energetic and partisan brigadier Detlev Lademann. This Berliner has moved several times in his city, to several apartments in the back and front of the building and now lives in a new apartment that he helped build. As a brigadier, he not only has to solve organizational problems, but also working with people. It is not always easy to meet the requirements. There are only young, sometimes inexperienced colleagues in his under-staffed brigade, and the material deliveries often do not meet the requirements. However, they are held responsible by the management for non-performance of the required services.
It shows how young people live and work, and what they have to say is listened to. They do not mince words when it comes to colleagues who only attracted more money to Marzahn than in their hometowns, but who do not really want to work, or when they talk about the fact that work organization is often not works as it should. Insights into their private life are also not excluded.
The final picture shows an impressive new building landscape, with blooming flowers in the foreground.
production
Sometimes you want to fly was shot by the artistic working group "effekt" on ORWO -Color and had its first public performance on November 22nd, 1981 at the ( International Leipzig Documentary and Short Film Week for Cinema and TV ). The festive premiere took place on March 10, 1983 in the Babylon cinema in Berlin as part of the GDR studio theater program.
From the official side of the GDR it was said critically that she (Gitta Nickel) had portrayed the “wrong” brigade. Kurt Hager's saying when leaving the performance for acceptance of the film is also passed down: "This time we will let it fly, next time it will fly".
In the documentary film Die da in der Platte - Tales from Marzahn , made by Gitta Nickel in 1999 , several actors are involved.
criticism
Volker Weidhaas wrote in the Berliner Zeitung that this film about a youth brigade that did not make headlines should be assessed as knowledgeable, precise, concrete, problem-conscious, polemical, not without humor, but shot with the necessary seriousness.
