She expresses the hope that a \u201cguardian angel\u201d will still save Astoria from oblivion. Seven years after the fall of the wall, the curtain is also falling on the legendary hotel.<br><br>The wind of change was also present at the Astoria. Memories of a place, where extravagance was also on ration, are brought to life through a combination of archive footage and animation. We hear about the nuances and absurdities of life in the GDR, from turtle soup in a country known for scarcity to the hotel bar where prostitutes, tourists, and Stasi agents all hung out. These agents kept an eye on everything that happened; the paranoia that characterized the GDR era was just as present in the hotel.<br><br>These contradictions are also reflected in the testimonials of the employees. Some remember a culture of fear, while others describe it as the best time of their lives. It shows that different historical experiences can co-exist, and that there are gray areas between propaganda and reality. <strong>Because truth is always a matter of opinion.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/hotel-astoria.org\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/hotel-astoria.org\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong><span style=\"color:#cc38b8\" class=\"has-inline-color\">www.hotel-astoria.org<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/hug-films.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color:#cc38b8\" class=\"has-inline-color\">hug films<\/span><\/a><span style=\"color:#aa149e\" class=\"has-inline-color\"> <\/span>Production in Co-Production with MDR<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Directed by <\/strong><br>Alina Cyranek &amp; Falk Schuster<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Idea and Script <\/strong><br>Alina Cyranek<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Script Consultant<\/strong><br>Claudia Nagel<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Layout and Animation <\/strong><br>Falk Schuster<br>Alexander Schmidt<br>Tim Romanowsky<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Compositing<\/strong><br>Julian Quitsch<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sound Design, Musik and Re-Recording<\/strong><br>Florian Marquardt<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/alinacyranek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/RZ_Siegel_FBW_BW.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-252\" width=\"174\" height=\"174\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alinacyranek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/RZ_Siegel_FBW_BW.png 250w, https:\/\/alinacyranek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/RZ_Siegel_FBW_BW-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 639px) 98vw, (max-width: 1199px) 64vw, 174px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Awards<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-layout-2 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:15%\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\"><strong>2020<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<p>Pr\u00e4dikat besonders wertvoll<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Screenings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-layout-3 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:15%\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\"><strong>2020<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<p>DOK Leipzig<br>IDFA Amsterdam<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":429,"template":"","acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/alinacyranek.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/projects\/288"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/alinacyranek.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/projects"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/alinacyranek.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/projects"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/alinacyranek.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/projects\/288\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alinacyranek.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/429"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/alinacyranek.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=288"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
