So go and buy – thoughts on Chilean and West German films of the early 1970s (Florian Wüst )

While the Western industrial nations were yielding to the radicalization of capitalism at the beginning of the 1970s, the Chilean working-class had fought for a democratically-elected socialist government. Film has always reflected and highlighted social transformation. Against this backdrop, Florian Wüst compares Chilean and West German cinema and draws parallels with today's situation in two programs that include films by Carlos Flores Delpino, Raúl Ruiz, Helma Sanders-Brahms, Edgar Reitz and Ula Stöckl (10.6.) and a lecture-performance connected to Hellmuth Costard's TEILWEISE VON MIR – EIN VOLKSSTÜCK.
