October 7: Coming Out (1989, Heiner Carow)
"Tanya and Philipp work together and are both dedicated teachers. They become close and move in together. Things get complicated for Philipp when he meets Matthias, however, as they fall passionately in love. Philipp struggles with his identity and what to do; it is hard to overcome years of repressing his sexuality. Coming Out premiered the night the Berlin Wall opened on November 9, 1989." (DEFA Film Library)

"When a young woman spends the night with an alleged terrorist, her quiet, ordered life falls into ruins. Katharina, though apparently innocent, suddenly becomes a suspect, falling prey to a vicious smear campaign by the police and a ruthless tabloid journalist that tests the limits of her dignity and her sanity." (Criterion Collection)

December 2: Abschied von Gestern (Yesterday Girl, 1966, Alexander Kluge)
"Yesterday Girl is about Anita G., a young girl, whose parents are picked up one morning during the time of the Third Reich. She comes from the East and now freezes her way through the West." (Edition Filmmuseum)
