Programme created by G. Sullivan, in consultation with K. Whitney and E. Sunderland, and with input from the lovely Kali and Alessa. Baby squeals provided by Bianca Isabelle and Zoe Rei.
POPCORN TO BE SERVED
Film One:
Das Boot
An epic, uhm, epic about wartime and epic stuff.
Film Two:
Goodbye Lenin!
A bittersweet tale of love and family in East Germany post-reunification
BREAK FOR PIZZA
Film Three:
The Edukators (Ger: Die fetten jahren sind vorbei)
Drama about idealistic anti-capitalist students in Germany.
Film Four:
Christiane F
A slightly bizarre tale of a young girl from Berlin's descent into the drug-fuelled underworld. And lots of David Bowie (don't ask me why)
BREAK FOR ICE CREAM
Film Five:
Mephisto
An interesting twist on the traditional Faust tale, an actor sells his "soul" to become famous.
Film Six:
Nirgendwo in Afrika
The tale of a family who moved to Africa to escape Nazi Germany.
END.
(I thought we'd end with one that has a happy ending, right?)
