Displaced Persons
Short Documentary Film, US 1945, Schwarzweiß, 8 min., stumm
Diagonale 2021

Director: United States Army Signal Corps
Camera: Sgt. O.S. Hallberg
Three documentary-inspired works that illuminate
life on the run and as a displaced person
in a camp in very different ways: first, an unedited
document by the US Army Signal Corps from April
1945, then a retrospective by the great avant-garde
filmmaker Jonas Mekas on his years as a displaced
person in Germany and finally, a short film commissioned
by the United Nations about the Hungarian
crisis in 1956 and the refugee camp Traiskirchen.
