On Monday, October 16, 1989, filmmakers Andreas Voigt and Gerd Kroske took their cameras to Leipzig to document the demonstrations happening there that were coinciding with East Germany's 40th anniversary events. Though the filmmakers did not have any plan at that point to shoot a film, they understood the urgency of capturing the events on film. This footage, however, was the start of director Voigt's Leipzig Films that document, from the ground up, the time shortly before, during, and immediately after the fall of the Berlin Wall and German reunification.
Voigt's participation in "Leipzig in Fall", the documentation of the protests in Leipzig in October and November 1989, established his international reputation. He became one of the most important younger directors to document the political changes in East Germany after unification.
Particularly his five films on the city of Leipzig function as a sensitive seismograph of the feelings of the people.

Alfred
Film indirectly criticized the economic system of the GDR and portrayed a worker who was expelled from the Communist Party.
Leipzig in the Fall (Leipzig im Herbst)
The most comprehensive documentation of events surrounding the 1989 Monday demonstrations in Leipzig, the centerpiece of the citizens’ movement that led to the fall of the Wall on November 9.
The film includes interviews with demonstrators, members of the citizens’ rights movement, officials and bystanders in East Germany’s peaceful revolution.
Last Year Titanic (Letztes Jahr Titanic)
Director Andreas Voigt interviewed people of different ages and social backgrounds about their experiences after the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989. He paints an important picture of this historic period in German history, filled with radical social and economic change and insecurity.
Last Year Titanic is the third film in the series and was shot from December 1989 through December 1990—the last months of the GDR and the first months in united Germany.
Belief, Love, Hope (Glaube, Liebe, Hoffnung)
Andreas Voigt's fourth documentary shot on the streets of Leipzig follows a group of radical young people in the winter of 1992–93. The changes in the city are striking: splendid new malls; many unemployed people; and despairing, angry youth for whom violence has become commonplace. Although the young people view these changes with sceptism, they also see the opportunity for alternative ways of life in their new society.
Big Wide World (Grosse weite Welt)
The fifth installment in Andreas Voigt's Leipzig series builds on and summarizes a decade of documentary filmmaking. Voigt revisits the protagonists from his earlier films in order to depict their lives in a reunified Germany and what became of their plans and beliefs following the Wende.
