Credits

Unter Deutschen Unter Deutschen (1995) Character: Self
Documentary filmmaker Troller criss-crosses post-reunified “Transgermania” for a year, probing German identity through festivals (Carnival, Oktoberfest), films, small towns and big cities. He attends a Black–Bavarian wedding at an “animal fair,” chats with chimney sweeps, students, artists and elites (from Grass to Müller), and asks uneasy questions about unity, memory and the future - all from his outsider’s lens.
Der Unbequeme - Der Dichter Günter Grass Der Unbequeme - Der Dichter Günter Grass (2007) Character: Self
Documentary film.
Vom Glanz und Vergehen der Gruppe 47 Vom Glanz und Vergehen der Gruppe 47 (2008) Character: Self
Founded in 1947, “Group 47” made half‐yearly authors read publicly and endure brutal critique, launching postwar German literature (including Nobel winners). Its 1967 end still influences writers; veterans recall its power, while Kehlmann and Biller debate a modern equivalent.
Bürger Grass Bürger Grass (1965) Character: Self
Documentary short film in which we see Günther Grass giving conferences, signing books and speaking, among others, with Chancellor Willy Brandt.
Max Frisch, Citoyen Max Frisch, Citoyen (2008) Character: Self
Max Frisch was the last big Swiss intellectual widely respected as a “voice” in its own right – a character hardly found today. The film retells Frisch’s story as a witness of the unfolding 20th century, wondering if such “voices” are needed at all, or if we could do without them.
365 Day Project 365 Day Project (2007) Character: Self
This exhibition focuses on Jonas Mekas’ 365 Day Project, a succession of films and videos in calendar form. Every day as of January 1st, 2007 and for an entire year, as indicated in the title, a large public (the artist's friends, as well as unknowns) were invited to view a diary of short films of various lengths (from one to twenty minutes) on the Internet. A movie was posted each day, adding to the previously posted pieces, resulting altogether in nearly thirty-eight hours of moving images.
Hôtel Terminus: The Life and Times of Klaus Barbie Hôtel Terminus: The Life and Times of Klaus Barbie (1988) Character: Self
Marcel Ophuls' riveting film details the heinous legacy of the Gestapo head dubbed "The Butcher of Lyon." Responsible for over 4,000 deaths in occupied France during World War II, Barbie would escape—with U.S. help—to South America in 1951, where he lived until a global manhunt led to his 1983 arrest and subsequent trial.
