An der Saale hellem Strande feiert Weltpremiere in Beijing

The film An der Saale hellem Strande by Dirk Hornschuch & Karl-Friedrich König, which was produced at PMMC 2023, will have its premiere in the International Competition at the Beijing International Short Film Festival on November 23.

The production deals with the memory of Delfin Guerra and Raúl Garcia Paret. The two Cubans came to Merseburg in 1979 as contract workers to work in the nearby chemical plants in Leuna. Two months after their arrival, they died following a violent altercation in a discotheque not far from the Saale river. Their deaths were never fully investigated.
