DE (Sorb), 2023, 20 Min

What do you lose and what do you gain when you move away from Lusatia as a Sorbian? Talks in Berlin, Hamburg and Leipzig.

LANGE NACHT DER KURZEN LAUSITZER/ DŁUJKA NOC KROTKICH ŁUŽYSKICH FILMOW/ DOŁHA NÓC KRÓTKICH ŁUŽISKICH FILMOW

Block I

Moving away is part of life, and for most people it's to the big city. What remains when you move away as a Sorbian? What longings lead you to leave, what do you find elsewhere that you didn't find in Lusatia? What is lost? To a carefully selected soundtrack of songs by Sorbian musicians dealing with similar themes, Sorbian women in the diaspora reflect on leaving and arriving, home and new home.
