Der Ärgermacher

How do you get the public's attention? Writer and troublemaker Jochen Anthrazit, known as Jochen A., has been asking himself this question ever since his debut novel "Note 6" was rejected by all publishers. Jochen A. is firmly convinced that this cannot be due to a lack of talent. But the individual can't compete with the disinterest of the masses - or can he? In order to draw attention to himself and his artistic work, Jochen A. commits a series of spectacular and highly media-effective crimes.

Duped Till Doomsday

East Germany's contribution to the 1957 Cannes Film Festival was the wartime melodrama Betrogen bis zum Juengsten Tag. Had the film been released in the U.S., the title would probably have translated to Duped Till the Last. The film condemns the Nazi mindset by concentrating on a particularly odious cover-up. When his son is involved in the accidental killing of a girl, a Gestapo general pulls strings to save the boy from prosecution. The general manages to pin the blame for the killing on a group of Russians, whereupon he gives the men under his command carte blanche to round up and execute as many innocent Russians as they wish. This act of brutality is contrasted with the pangs of guilt suffered by the son and his co-conspirators.
