Challenge
The poster design for Die guten Feinde – Mein Vater, die Rote Kapelle und ich reflects the moving and dramatic life story depicted in Christian Weisenborn’s documentary. The film traces the journey of his father—an intellectual who became both a bohemian in 1920s Berlin and a key figure in the resistance group known as the Rote Kapelle—using a rich blend of diary entries, letters, photographs, private film footage, and interviews.
The visual concept for the poster evokes the era’s historical gravity and personal depth, employing archival textures and a restrained color palette to capture both the intimacy and the risk of resistance. The design aims to honor the courage and complexity of the protagonists, while visually guiding audiences into the heart of this personal and political narrative.
