RETROSPECTIVE OF WALTER HEYNOWSKI & GERHARD SCHEUMANN Studio HS was a workshop of political documentaries based in East Berlin, capital of the GDR. Its founders were Walter Heynowski (born in 1927) and Gerhard Scheumann (1930-1998). Both were members of the Academy of Arts, and twice received the national prize of the GDR. For more than 15 years they occupied senior positions in the press, radio and television, before forming in 1965 an art collective together with cameraman Peter Hellmich .

Study HS was enormously productive, with 71 films in 26 years, among which stands out the films dedicated to Vietnam, with six films, five shorts and documentation. The images still have a great testimonial value and are historical documents that tell much about our recent past. Films like The thunder Gods , Hilton Hanoi , Pilots in Pijama , are the living and vivid memories of our recent past. The Retro has been possible thanks to the collaboration of the Goethe Institute in Madrid.
