Následne pokračujeme vo Filmotéke s projekciami filmov, ktoré Kluge režíroval sám alebo v spolupráci s inými režisérmi (Rainer Werner Fassbinder, Volker Schlöndorff a ďalší). Na dvoch uvádzaných filmoch – Kandidát Vojna a mier – sa podieľal aj slovenský kameraman Igor Luther. Filmy Silný FerdinandPatriotka lektorsky uvedie Tomáš Mészáros z Katedry teórie práva a sociálnych vied Právnickej fakulty Univerzity Komenského. Koncom mesiaca potom uvedieme pod názvom Oberhausenskí I prvé z dvoch pásiem krátkometrážnych filmov, na ktorých sa podieľal jeden či viacerí signatári tzv. Oberhausenského manifestu (druhé pásmo uvedieme začiatkom nasledujúceho mesiaca). Tým sa prehliadka Nemecká jeseň prehupne do druhej polovice, v rámci ktorej ponúkne výber z diel obdobia tzv. nového nemeckého filmu.
Prehliadku Nemecká jeseň, ktorá sa koná pod záštitou ministra kultúry Slovenskej republiky Marka Maďariča, organizuje Slovenský filmový ústav v spolupráci s Goetheho inštitútom.

Strongman Ferdinand

Der Starke Ferdinand; Alexander Kluge, 1976, OV (nem.) + ST (sk) | Nemecká jeseň; Alexander Kluge, 1976, versions: OR

The clownish security chief of a West German business is obsessed with protecting his factory from fancied and real breaches, especially from groups such as The Red Army Faction. Ferdinand's paranoia and methods can't be contained by his company. The sympathetically-drawn Ferdinand's ludicrous actions recall those of the cynical, disastrous axis between fascism and big business in 1930's Europe: satire of the rise of private security. http://www.imdb.com Show more

Germany in Autumn

Deutschland im Herbst; rôzni, 1978, OV (nem.) + ST (cz) | Nemecká jeseň; Director: various, 1978, versions: OR

Germany in Autumn does not have a plot per se; it mixes documentary footage, along with standard movie scenes, to give the audience the mood of Germany during the late 1970s. The movie covers the two month time period during 1977 when a businessman was kidnapped, and later murdered, by the left-wing terrorists known as the RAF-Rote Armee Fraktion (Red Army Faction). The businessman had been kidnapped in an effort to secure the release of the orginal leaders of the RAF, also known as the Baader-Meinhof gang. When the kidnapping effort and a plane hijacking effort failed, the three most prominent leaders of the RAF, Andreas Baader, Gudrun Enslin, and Jean-Carl Raspe, all committed suicide in prison. It has become an article of faith within the left-wing community that these three were actually murdered by the state. The movie has several vignettes, including an extended set of scenes with the famous director Rainer Werner Fassbinder discussing his feelings about Germany's political situation at the time. Fassbinder's scenes almost seem to be candid documentary footage, but aren't. Other scenes include documentary footage of the joint funeral of Baader, Enslin, and Raspe. http://www.imdb.com Show more
