A good place to start would be the website for the DEFA Film Library,
based at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst. DEFA (Deutsche Film
Aktiengesellschaft) was the state-run film industry in the former GDR, and
copies of many of its films are now housed here at UMass. The URL is:
http://www.umass.edu/defa
This site contains descriptions of the films maintained by the library, a
bibliography, and links to other sites related to DEFA and the former GDR.
For more information, contact the library's director, Barton Byg, at
