  • Followed by a conversation with Christine Schorn

The DEFA Foundation dedicates a film evening to Christine Schorn to celebrate her birthday on February 1st and presents DIE BEUNRUHIGUNG by Lothar Warneke.
As an outstanding actor at the Deutsches Theater Berlin, where she formed part of the ensemble from 1964 to 2009, Christine Schorn truly left her mark on German-language theatre.   From 1972, she also created multi-layered, often unusual portraits of women in films by Lothar Warneke, Dietmar Hochmuth, Werner Bergmann and Rainer Behrend at DEFA. After reunification, she continued to work in theatre, television and film and won two German Film Awards.  
Based on a script by Helga Schubert, Christine Schorn plays psychologist Inge Herold in DIE BEUNRUHIGUNG. Following her breast cancer diagnosis, the mother of a teenager son starts questioning her previous life and repositions herself within it. In Inge, Christine Schorn creates one of the most piercing female characters in the history of DEFA: at the 2nd East German Nationales Spielfilmfestival (1982), she received the prize for Best Actress.
