WELCOME TO THE FESTIVAL A very warm welcome to the 14th annual Audi Festival of German Films proudly carrying the name of its principal sponsor for the eighth consecutive year. Once more this unique festival of German language films is presented by the Goethe-Institut and German Films in close partnership with our most enthusiastic and supportive family of sponsors. Join us in welcoming our guests of honor and celebrities from overseas who are very much looking forward to meeting their Australian audiences: Florian Stetter, Sascha Arango, Thomas Köner, Timo Vollbrecht and Peter Claus. We have assembled a spectacular collection of films highlighting a robust and very creative film industry in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. The variety of movies as selected by our Australian-German jury is most amazing, ranging from thrillers, alpine Western, to comedies and thigh-slapping Kraut pleasers, to quirky drama queens. We are thrilled to present the very best of German filmmaking to you from art house films to massive European box office hits in eight Australian cities, including Hobart for the very first time. Make your voice heard and vote for your favourite film online. You might even win a fantastic prize! At the end of the festival we will award the most popular film the much sought after Golden Garden Gnome. We wish you a great cinema experience, lots of fun, and even food for thought during the festival and its special events. See you at the movies! Viel Vergnügen!

  • Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Schlafes Bruder by Robert Schneider
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Schlafes Bruder by Robert Schneider Robert Schneider's Schlafes Bruder — A Neo-Romantic Musikernovelle? ICH WEIß NICHT, irgend jemand hat geschrieben, das sei Biedermeier. […] Gut, kann man schreiben. Ich würde sagen, Romantik und nicht Biedermeier. Es ist in viel höherem Maße ein romantisches Buch.” The book in question, which none other than Marcel Reich-Ranicki labels a Romantic book in his “Literarisches Quartett,” was one of the rare literary successes of the 1990s in German-language literature, and the fact that it was given the full treatment on television is certainly indicative of the dimensions of this success. Schlafes Bruder (Brother of Sleep, 1992), the first novel of the Austrian writer and musician from the region of Voralberg, Robert Schneider, was first rejected by twenty-three publishing houses, before being finally published by Reclam Leipzig in 1992. It became an immediate and overwhelming success with the reading public and the majority of critics alike. To date it has sold over 1.4 million copies in the German-speaking world and has been translated into more than twenty- four languages. What was it that gripped the imagination of its readers to such an extraordinary extent? Schlafes Bruder tells the story of the musical genius Elias Alder, who is born into the remote hamlet of Eschberg in deepest Voralberg in the early nineteenth century. In a sublime, but also deeply terrifying experience, he is initiated into the music of nature and, through this, endowed with a unique musical talent. SCHLAFES BRUDER. The film is based on a very successful novel of recent years, written by Austrian writer, Robert Schneider.

  • Friday Film Fest Series Tonight’S Movie Might Well Serve As a Cinematic Amicus Brief for This Credo
    Précis – Allen Krumm THE GERMAN SOCIETY’S Purportedly it was a militant feminist who declared that “the personal is political and the political is personal.” Friday Film Fest Series Tonight’s movie might well serve as a cinematic amicus brief for this credo. The young men of the original Comedian Harmonists experienced first hand the codependent embrace of the self and society and the sometimes antagonistic absolutes of the private and the public. Like all of us, the Harmonists were to varying degrees microcosms of the various macrocosms they inhabited (political, economic, cultural), and sadly for them, the feminist battle cry seemed as ineluctable as it is invertible. The consequences of this intertwining of the personal and political were magnified and intensified for the Harmonists, since from the late twenties until the middle thirties of the last century they were one of the hottest groups in Germany and Europe. There was little in their respective backgrounds that would have foretold such an outcome, but however specific and disparate their origins were, the essential reason they coalesced as a group was their mutual passion for music and a shared belief in its universality. Harry Frommerman was the son of a Berlin cantor who had originally emigrated to Germany from the Ukraine. Roman Cycowski , the son of a businessman, Comedian Harmonists was born and raised near Lodz, Poland. Eric Abraham Collin was the privileged upper crust son of a renowned Credits: Berlin pediatrician. Erwin Bootz was born in Stettin, Director: Joseph Vilsmaier where his father ran a business selling musical Script: Klaus Richter instruments.
