Directed by Alexander Kluge
Hannelore Hoger (Lost Honor of Katharina Blum), veteran actress of the New German Cinema, stars as Leni Peickert in Alexander Kluge s compelling parable about art vs. entertainment, culture vs. commerce.
Leni inherits the family circus after her father is killed while practicing a difficult act. Feeling that small-time carnivals are on their way out, she updates the show by turning it into a reform circus, which consists of socially relevant entertainment. Unfortunately, it fails to attract customers, and her circus goes bankrupt twice.
The story of Leni and her woes is slight but the strength of Kluge s film is the complex imagery, with its masterful montages, filmic references, and layers of meaning. Like the circus in the film, Kluge finds popular film also to be in the throes of change a viewpoint that turned out to be prophetic.

My Heart Is Mine Alone
Directed by Helma Sanders-Brahms
The story of the real-life love affair between Jewish poet Else Lasker-Schueler and Nazi poet Gottfried Benn is told largely through their poetry in this experimental drama scored with improvised music.
The poets relationship epitomizes the idea of the ill-fated romance as Lasker-Schueler is forced to leave the country because of the very ideology that Benn believes in. She drifts from country to country until she lands in Jerusalem to stay, while he realizes his mistake when the Nazis condemn his artistic school as degenerate.
The passion of Lasker-Schueler and Benn lives in their poetry as Helma Sander-Brahms focuses on the artistry of these unfortunate artists lost to the winds of history.
