Film Beyond Cinema: The Dumpster Kid Experiment and Other Utopias
Self
For over half a century, the filmmaker Edgar Reitz, one of the signatories of the Oberhausen Manifesto and a pioneer of epic film narration, has explored, as a practitioner and theoretician, the rules and limits of cinema, which he always seeks to break and extend in new ways. One example of his tireless search and research are the Geschichten vom Kübelkind, which he co-directed with Ula Stöckl in 1969/70, 22 absurdly funny, subversive and anarchistic short films of different lengths, which consciously oppose all conventions, with incredible success. The films remain unrivalled in their Dadaistic inventiveness.
Lili Marleen
Nachrichtensprecherin
Lili Marleen es la historia de una canción que, durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, llegó a convertirse en un himno, primero del nazismo y después del bando aliado. En 1936, Norbert Schultze, un pianista de cabaret, le puso música a la letra que había escrito años atrás un soldado alemán. Tres años más tarde la grabó en disco una bella pero mediocre cantante, Lale Andersen, que consiguió un éxito y una popularidad tales que los servicios de propaganda del Tercer Reich decidieron hacer suya la canción.

This extra knowledge, which is not wanted by society, regularly brings her into danger. Dumpster Kid dies in each story, and across each genre. Her stories are set in a whole range of different time periods. What is a Dumpster Kid?
The Cat Has Nine Lives
Anne
Katharina and Anne go on trips, visit cafés, acquaintances and parties. In doing so, they explore the chances of female emancipation in a male-dominated society. Katharina strives for a life without sentimental compulsion. She believes that she has succeeded, and therefore looks at the beloved friend Anne compassionate, as it can be good. Anne is learning the left jargon. But it is sheer helplessness. She says it's political commitment that she does not trust her friend Katharina, so Anne smiles as well.
