Germany in Autumn

Join us at Berkeley's Pacific Film Archive when we see the provocative anthology film Germany in Autumn, made by eleven directors of the New German Cinema. This film is part of the PFA’s months-long Fassbinder and the New German Cinema retrospective. NOTE: It is recommended that you purchase tickets in advance.

" Germany in Autumn, a collaborative effort of eleven of the leading filmmakers of the New German Cinema, reflects on the tragic events of autumn 1977, when a public official was kidnapped and executed by members of the Baader-Meinhof Group. It contains a startling and revealing autobiographical sequence by Rainer Werner Fassbinder, who turns the camera mercilessly on himself in his exploration of private and public fascism. Shot in his apartment, this thirty-minute sequence near the beginning of the film provides a setting for the whole enterprise. It is an unblinking portrait of the artist as a powerless intellectual, and of the powerless intellectual as a personal tyrant.”—Pacific Film Archive
