Together with 33 other students, including Harun Farocki, Hartmut Bitomsky, Holger Meins, Gerry Schum and Helke Sander, Straschek (1942-2009) belonged to the first generation of students at the newly founded academy. His stay at DFFB was short, as the dispute over his film A Western for the SDS (Ein Western für den SDS) resulted in his definitive expulsion in February 1968 and the mysterious disappearance of the film print. “At any rate,” Straschek said in retrospect, “the whole rigmarole was for me less a ‘coming to consciousness’ than the belated climax of a carefree youth that was now drawing to a close, a last chance to sow my wild oats.” The accompanying talks will shed some light on Straschek’s short films and their film school context, featuring documents from the DFFB archive. Films: Hooray for Mrs. E. [Hurra für Frau E.], Günter Peter Straschek, West Germany, 1966, digital, 7 minutes, German with English subtitles Straschek’s first film, Hooray for Mrs. E., is a sober portrait of a mother who supplements her welfare income with prostitution. The Bridegroom, the Actress and the Pimp [Der Bräutigam, die Komödiantin und der Zuhälter], Jean-Marie Straub and Danièle Huillet, West Germany, 1968, digital, 23 minutes, German with English subtitles Huillet and Straub’s short film, The Bridegroom, the Actress and the Pimp, shares concerns with Hooray for Mrs. E., in that it is also a film that reflects on the position of women in post-war Germany. The film is constructed in three sequences: a tracking shot through the streets of Munich at night, a staging of a play by Ferdinand Bruckner, and a related love story shot as a film noir. A Western for the SDS [Ein Western für den SDS], Günter Peter Straschek, West Germany, 1967–1968, digital, 23 minutes, German with English subtitles A Western for the SDS, which led to Straschek being expelled from the German Film and Television Academy, portrays the development of the Left as a learning process among women who sharpen their awareness in the movement but continue to have no say. On the Concept of “Critical Communism” in Antonio Labriola (1843–1904) [Zum Begriff des “Kritischen Kommunismus” bei Antonio Labriola (1843–1904)], Günter Peter Straschek, West Germany, 1970, digital, 18 minutes, German with English subtitles Straschek’s On the Concept of “Critical Communism” in Antonio Labriola addresses the chasm between workers and intellectuals and describes the “difficulties of the revolution” (Labriola) with a sharp sense of humour. Introduction to Arnold Schoenberg’s “Accompaniment to a Cinematographic Scene” [Einleitung zu Arnold Schoenbergs Begleitmusik zu einer Lichtspielscene], Jean-Marie Straub and Danièle Huillet, West Germany, 1972, digital, 15 minutes, German with English subtitles Introduction to Arnold Schoenberg’s “Accompaniment to a Cinematographic Scene” is Straub and Huillet’s fierce condemnation of the horrors of war and capitalism connecting the rise of fascism to imperialism, the role of Germany and the war in Vietnam, through the words of Schoenberg written in 1923 and Bertolt Brecht’s 1935 speech to the International Congress in Defence of Culture. This session was accompanied by discussions with Volker Pantenburg (Freie Universität Berlin) and Julia Friedrich (Museum Ludwig, Cologne). Presented as part of “The Films of Jean-Marie Straub and Danièle Huillet” in collaboration with Goethe-Institut London. 2023-08-08 Birkbeck College, University of London 10.18743/DATA.00000312 ahrc Essay Film Festival yes 2036-07-07 bimi metadata_and_data_files yes staff The Essay Film Festival, active since 2015, presents a global range of contemporary and restored essayistic works.
