In June 1965, Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel celebrated its 300th founding anniversary. What was the university world like back then? How was this event celebrated? And how was it received in student circles? This is what the biting persiflage (described by Denzer himself as a "film feuilleton") "Floret Academia" by Kurt Denzer, a student active at the time in the Film-AG in the Kiel Student Union, reveals to us with a subtle satirical eye. A profound work in which the system-critical spirit of the 1968s already flashes.

Starting from indeterminate, large public spaces, the film focuses on the lines, corners, and openings of a barren apartment, eventually landing without lingering on used items, a cloth, crumpled paper. Many shaky doors swing shut, to be quickly replaced by others. Pressure and suction emerge spontaneously from the rooms in front of the observer's eyes. In the mundane: table legs, the dark tobacco end of a cigarette. The film brings life into being and ushers in light.

A film by Fritz André Kracht

After a long day in the pasture, Mother Donkey tells her little son the Christmas story before bedtime. When the little donkey falls asleep, he embarks on an adventurous journey in his dreams to the Holy Land, where he wants to find the Christ Child.

According to the Baden Württemberg Higher Education Act of 1968, the University of Freiburg forms a Basic Regulations Assembly: 22 full professors, 10 lecturers, assistants and academic councillors, 10 students. Three commissions draft paragraphs. The students are defeated in votes. Under threat of withdrawal, they force further negotiations to be made public. Professor Jeschek, Criminal Law, Councillor of the Higher Regional Court, criticizes the public nature of the negotiations. This is a people's assembly, not a consultation, which could serve as a model for self-government matters. A student named Berger replies.
Documentary about a single mother.
The ability of the mouth to open, to close, to ingest something and to expel something, on the one hand, and a ball’s property of rolling on a smooth surface after receiving an impulse, on the other, are brought into a functional connection here. In keeping with the functionlessness of autonomous art, this functionality is purely artistic and self-referential.
The conflict comes to a head; student Melville proposes that the Basic Regulations Assembly should "like Lysistrata" refuse to deal with the Ministry of Culture and not adopt any Basic Regulations until the Dahrendorf Plan is off the table. The students propose that no basic regulations be passed until the government has improved the Higher Education Act. The motion is rejected by 10:25 votes. Riots interrupt the meeting.
