Adler passen auf Menschen auf

Experimental film based on the radio play "Die Befreiung des Prometheus" (The Liberation of Prometheus) by Heiner Goebbels, based on texts by Heiner Müller: While Heracles circles the mountain to free Prometheus, who is chained and tormented by the eagle's beak, Prometheus is on his way to see his boss as a middle manager—in an elevator. An important appointment. But the elevator malfunctions and becomes his prison... Two texts by playwright Heiner Müller that ironically tell the story of two men. Composer Heiner Goebbels has interwoven these texts and adapted them musically into an audio play: "The Liberation of Prometheus." Theo Janßen composed the images to accompany it: documentary, staged, and journalistic images. Archive footage, photographs, drawings—not illustrative, but associative and contrapuntal. The result is a kind of "film opera" or "film musical."

Suite Française

France, 1940. In the first days of occupation, beautiful Lucile Angellier is trapped in a stifled existence with her controlling mother-in-law as they both await news of her husband: a prisoner of war. Parisian refugees start to pour into their small town, soon followed by a regiment of German soldiers who take up residence in the villagers' own homes. Lucile initially tries to ignore Bruno von Falk, the handsome and refined German officer staying with them. But soon, a powerful love draws them together and leads them into the tragedy of war.
