The Haus des Dokumentarfilms and the Haus der Geschichte are showing the German-Austrian documentary "Friendly Fire". In this film from the year 2025, director Klaus Fried follows in the footsteps of his famous father. The film was realized by Julia Albrecht.
"What was it with my father to always and unconditionally seek out conversation?" Klaus Fried was a teenager when his father Erich Fried, the "uncomfortable writer between all chairs", died. He had to share him with the entire world public. Relentless and driven, the son embarks on a search, meets family members, friends and companions and, together with Julia Albrecht, tries to piece together a picture of his father from the memories of these people. When he meets Astrid Proll, co-founder of the RAF, the hard struggle for answers makes it clear how similar father and son are. This unique documentary is upsetting and deeply moving. And it makes you want to read all of Erich Fried's poems again.
