Когда 22-летний Райнер Вернер Фассбиндер дебютировал со своей первой постановкой на сцене небольшого театра, никто и представить не мог, что этот наглый молодой бунтарь станет одним из самых важных послевоенных немецких режиссеров. Несмотря на ранние неудачи, многие из его фильмов попадают на самые известные кинофестивали, и вызывают бурную реакцию и споры среди критиков и режиссеров. Его радикальные взгляды, самоэксплуатация и жажда познания любви сделали его одним из самых интересных режиссеров своего времени.

Franziska
It’s the early 1950s and little Franzi is growing up in the small Austrian town of Judenburg. Her oppressive family home is dominated by her feverish and mentally ill father, who is rigid and unpredictable. Her father, who regularly delivers halves of pork for the butcher, spent several years in the French Foreign Legion in Morocco, Algeria and Syria – a period which he partly glorifies but which still also haunts him. Franzi immerses herself in this world by looking at an abundance of beguiling yet disturbing photographs taken at the time by her father. Her own childish fantasy realm of fairy tales and picture books soon intermingle with nightmares as reality merges with imagination, war, horror and beauty.

The gritty, kinetic, visionary cinema of Roland Klick is ripe for rediscovery.

Ulrike Ottinger is an exceptional filmmaker and artist. Her cinematic universe has influenced entire generations. As a young woman, she brought the international art world to the sleepy town of Konstanz. It all began on the shores of Lake Constance where Ulrike Ottinger was born and where she still often spends time. Filmmaker Brigitte Kramer chose to begin her film at Lake Constance since she too shares Ottinger’s birthplace and a great love of these waters. This is also where the filmmaker’s own artistic development began, not least as a result of her encounter with Ottinger and her work. Other fellow travellers and friends appearing in this film include art historian Katharina Sykora, collector and curator Ingvild Goetz, film historian Ulrich Gregor, philosopher Bernd Scherer and actor Irm Hermann. Using this common ground as a starting point for an exploration of Ottinger’s substantial oeuvre, this documentary provides a keen insight into the artist’s life and work.

More of a film essay - of the type pioneered by Orson Welles and Chris Marker - than a standard documentary, German filmmaker Lutz Dammbeck's The Net: The Unabomber, the LSD and the Internet begins with the typical format and structure of a nonfiction film, and a single subject (the life and times of mail bomber Ted Kaczynski). From that thematic springboard, Dammbeck branches out omnidirectionally, segueing into a series of thematic riffs and variants on such marginally-related subjects as: the history of cyberspace, terrorism, utopian ideals, LSD, the Central Intelligence Agency, and Cuckoo's Nest author Ken Kesey and his Merry Pranksters.

Molly is a difficult stressed housewife and mother of three children, Elisabeth is the perfect career woman and Maria uses already in their third marriage sex appeal to get ahead in life. But one day it turns out that the three except their friendship still connects another great thing in common: They are all tired of her life as a wife. And so begins the story of a rabenscharzen comedy about the dream of freedom and the difficulties to achieve this. The only question is: How are they merely their husbands going on?

Frau Fritzsche
Где-то в провинции Германии: около 1930 года у кинорассказчика умирала профессия. Это тем более трагично, что он делает то, что делает со страстью: стареющий мужчина произносит слова к немым фильмам, показываемым вживую, и сопровождает некоторые сцены своей собственной музыкой, играя на скрипке. Но сейчас в порталы кинотеатра «Аполлон» стучится новая эра, и это не означает ничего хорошего для кинематографиста: звуковой фильм требует признания, и это знаменует конец его профессии. Однако для жены Мари, которая никогда не слишком любила жизнь своего мужа в темном царстве мерцающих образов и часто спорит с ним, эта потеря бессмысленна. Владелец кинотеатра Тейльхабер скоро полностью перейдет на звуковое кино и больше не нуждается в киномане, так что старик с мертвой работой скоро будет сидеть на улице. По крайней мере, его гораздо более молодая любовница Марга все еще на его стороне, но она также не может найти сказочнику новую работу.

By the time director Katja Raganelli arrived in California to make a film about Dorothy Arzner in 1980, Arzner had passed away in a car accident. Nonetheless, Raganelli visited Arzner’s desert home and retraced the pioneering filmmaker’s career in this documentary, using Arzner’s trove of photographs, as well as interviews with her leading lady Esther Ralston, to create this nuanced portrait of a woman who bucked every norm and defied societal expectation.

Celeste Albaret
In 1914, with men gone to war, Marcel Proust hired Céleste Albaret as his attendant. More than eight years later, she was at his side when he died. During this entire time, she only entered his room when he rang for her, sleeping from 9 AM to 3 PM to wait during the night while he wrote. Marcel uses her as more than a servant: she is his muse, telling stories of her childhood to stir his remembrance of things past; she's in cahoots with him as he manipulates those he wants to draw on for his writing; she listens appalled to his descriptions of the underside of Paris. Hers is a life of love and sweet devotion as he races time to finish his work before death.

«Каждый год — это год Луны», — говорится в туманно-зловещем предуведомлении к картине. Люди, чья жизнь обусловлена чувствами, особенно часто страдают от депрессий. Но когда в лунном году бывает тринадцать новолуний, это часто приводит к неотвратимым личным катастрофам. В двадцатом столетии шесть лет отмечено этим опасным знаком. Например, 1978-й год… опасный для жизни многих людей.
Но Луна, как и беда, не приходит одна, чаще всего, верша свои недобрые дела чужими руками. Ради любовника Эрвин решается на операцию по перемене пола и становится Эльвирой. Однако в роковом 78-ом тот охладевает к Эрвину-Эльвире. Главная героиня, у которой почва уходит из-под ног, ищет поддержки у бывшей жены и знакомых…
Edith
The main characters in this film are wives of rich men who have nothing to do because they have staff – like the cook, the maid, the hairdresser, the manicurist, the governess, the teacher, the tailor etc. – who work for them. Naturally, the wives themselves do not pursue careers, they depend on their husbands’ money. This is why most of their thoughts revolve around the husband. And because the husband only appears as “the” man, there is no man in this film. All women fight for the same man. Those who have one, want to keep him no matter what. And those who do not have one yet only have one goal: To take away somebody else’s husband.

A four man US fireteam on patrol seizes a passing young Vietnamnese girl and continue to torture, rape and kill her. Only one soldier refuses to take part in it and reports this incident to his superior, who dismisses it as simple wartime incident. As a consequence for his report, the soldier has to fear for his life. Later, the perpetrators are convicted, although subsequent appeals reduce their sentences significantly. The plot takes place in a Bavarian forest and reenacts a real war crime that happened in the Vietnam war. The soldiers wear US uniforms, have authentic names but speak with a pronounced Bavarian accent - a conscious directing decision known as Brechtian distancing effect.
