Ross event explores German cinema
A retrospective of contemporary German cinema, "Berliner Schule," plays at the Mary Riepma Ross Media Arts Center from March 23 to April 5.
Curated by Marco Abel, assistant professor of English at UNL, the retrospective includes 12 films and two host filmmakers - Benjamin Heisenberg, director of "Schläfer" and co-screenwriter of "Milchwald" at the Ross March 23-27; and Christoph Hochhäusler, director of "Milchwald" and "Falscher Bekenner" visits March 30 to April 3.
The primary purpose of the retrospective - the first of its kind in the United States - is to introduce a Midwestern audience to a cinema that has received much attention in Europe. The French film journal Cahiers du Cinéma, recently coined the phrase "nouvelle vague Allemande" to mark the emergence of a new, important generation of German filmmakers, and the English daily broadsheet, The Guardian, recently hailed the German films as "the most exciting cinema in the world today."
A complete schedule was unavailable at press time. Show times will be posted online at www.theross.org and on the film information line, 472-5353.
