"STOLPERSTEINE – Filme gegen das Vergessen // Films Against Oblivion" is a series of short films from the master's program Multimedia and Authorship at the Department of Media and Communication at the Martin Luther University in Halle-Wittenberg. As part of the artistic direction, Leef Hansen is responsible for the STOLPERSTEIN films, which will be produced in 2023.
Inspired by artist Gunther Demnig's project, students have been dealing with the people and stories behind the memorial stones in documentary film projects since 2007. In his introductory speech before the film screening at the historical hall of the Stadtmuseum Halle, Leef Hansen first thanked the students and their commitment. "Without you, these films and the associated memories of the Shoah and the Holocaust would not exist."
