The Hound of the Baskervilles 1914 ( 4)

In this early version the classic "Hound of the Baskervilles" mystery is not faithfully adapted, Watson's character is absent and there are two Holmes. Holmes' foe is called Stapleton and he menaces Holmes' client Lord Henry and his fiancée, Laura Lyons, masquerading himself as Holmes. Hidden passages, hand bombs and mechanical devices abound, reminding more of a serial than of a Conan Doyle story.

Tales of Hoffmann 1916 ( 5.2)

This movie, directed by Richard Oswald, is based on the operetta "Les contes de Hoffmann" by Jacques Offenbach (1819-1880), which is a genial musical potpourri from various short stories and novels by the Prussian writer, composer, painter, lawyer and judge E.T.A. Hoffmann (1776-1822). While Hoffmann's literary work was longtime considered to be merely fantastical, it was finally researched, in the last years, according to its metaphysical background. Characteristic for Hoffmann's work is his life-long fight against rationalism and for the revelation of nature morte, culminating mostly in carnival-like scenes anticipating literary techniques only described in the works of Bachtin and Bachelard.

The Picture of Dorian Gray 1917 ( 6)

Jamel - Lauter Widerstand 2024

The small village of Jamel in the northwest of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania is considered a right-wing extremist stronghold. In the past, neo-Nazis have deliberately moved here. Using right-wing slogans and symbols, they openly claim dominance over the village. In the middle of it all: the artist couple Birgit and Horst Lohmeyer. In search of a rural idyll, the Lohmeyers moved to the village in 2004, underestimating the situation there, where they encountered right-wing extremist thinking and rejection, even threats. Instead of allowing themselves to be driven away, they make a statement against it every year with the "Jamel Rocks the Forester" music festival. After their barn was set on fire, they and their festival received prominent support from the German music scene. The documentary shows that the conditions in the village are not an isolated case and that folkish landgrabs by right-wing extremists are a widespread problem, but also how music can help fight for democracy.

Der Zaun 2007

"I have the safest fried potatoes" quipped a snack bar operator in the summer of 2007 in Heiligendamm. On the occasion of the G8 summit the sleepy seaside town mutated into high security zone. For lush 12.3 million euros a steel fence was erected, the heads of state before the summit demonstrated that opponents should be separated. Andreas Horn and Armin Marewski show in their impressive documentary people on both sides of the fence to speak: residents, tourists, press representatives, police, advocates and Protestants apparently their own personal views on the 13 km long steel fence structure.

The Billions of Others 2024

The market regulates everything! Diligence and work create prosperity! Capitalism needs growth! What is the truth behind the great principles of capitalism?

The film takes you through various stations, through the strongholds of Eastern German capitalism and the places where capitalism has not yet arrived.
