Spur der Steine

Spur of the Stones is a 1966 film produced by DEFA-Spielfilm, Künstlerische Arbeitsgruppe (KAG) “Heinrich Greif.” The director was Frank Beyer, who also wrote the screenplay with Karl Georg Egel. It is based on the novel by Erik Neutsch. The film was premiered at the 8th East German Workers' Party in Potsdam, followed by three days in some cinemas, before being dropped out of “anti-socialist tendencies.” It was not until October 1989 that the film could be performed again in the GDR, a little later at the Berlinale 1990 in the Federal Republic of Germany.
