#WELTSPIEGEL MEDIATHEK FREE#

The Fifth Wall was conceptualised and developed by Merle KrГ¶ger and Mareike Bernien in collaboration with Navina Sundaram within the framework of Archive auГџer sich. We invite you to send us questions and research paths through the archive, as well as further educational opportunities for publication, so that they can be shared with other users in the Workspace.

Documents, interview sequences and comments that explicitly refer to individual film works can only be viewed in the context of these works.

This digital archive can be browsed by type of archival material, themes, broadcasting series, year of production or by free search. The Fifth Wall is at once a non-linear biography, television archive and research platform. What is the significance of looking at this material from todayвЂ™s perspective? And what gaze does it cast back upon us? Sourced from ARD archives and SundaramвЂ™s private archive, The Fifth Wall is a curated look at German migration and media history. She is thus the focus of attention as an author who takes a journalistic stand: on internationalism and decolonisation, the question of class, racism, immigration, on Indian and German politics. To take SundaramвЂ™s perspective, to focus on her reportages, features and moderations, means simultaneously looking at West German television history from the inside and the outside. The archive The Fifth Wall gathers films, reportages, moderations, texts, letters and photos by the filmmaker and editor Navina Sundaram from over 40 years of her work in television. These resonances are not always melodious - that would be to misunderstand the archive as a nostalgic space they challenge and simultaneously point to the gaps and invisibilities that every archive also produces. Such practice comprehends the archive as a space that depicts (media) history not as a narrative of domination, but as a network of the most diverse - also contradictory - historical narratives that generate resonances in the present day. In order to make this content accessible to a diverse public, models of future archival practice are required. An immense treasure trove of educational content, historical documents and film history lies behind them. The doors of the public broadcasting services in Germany are opening. вЂњTonight, as the two astronauts land on the moon, millions of television viewers will be watching, and actually, it is as far as Vietnam, which is across the room: the fifth wall.вЂќ (Navina Sundaram, letter to her parents, )
