A photographic meditation on the dark past of the East German factory that produced the first modern color film
German photographer Tobias Zielony (born 1973) tells the forgotten story of a historically significant factory in Wolfen-Bitterfeld, where the first multilayer color film was produced in 1936, mostly at the hands of women and forced laborers in the period up to 1945. ORWO Filmfabrik (ORiginal WOlfen) became the most important producer of color film in East Germany. Today, the small company Filmotec produces a special archival film with long-term stability that can be inscribed with digital data in the form of QR codes.
