A murderous conspiracy. A devastating catastrophe. Frankfurt, May 1937. The Hindenburg, the world's largest airship, is getting ready to fly to New York. A vehicle of staggering dimensions, it is the pride of Nazi Germany. But it has one serious flaw: due to an American embargo preventing the sale of helium to Germany, the Hindenburg is filled with highly combustible hydrogen gas instead. To Merten Kröger, an engineer who helped design the Hindenburg, the ship is a stick of dynamite waiting for a spark. The young man of great charm but modest means has fallen in love with the wealthy Jennifer van Zandt, the daughter of an American industrialist who wants to sell helium to the Germans. Just before the ship takes off, Merten learns how far the industrialist will go: he has had a bomb placed on the airship. What van Zandt didn't know is that his wife and daughter would be on board. Merten sneaks aboard the airship without a minute to spare. The young couple is reunited, and despite the great difference in class and social status between them, Jennifer, too, avows her love for Merten. He tells her of the bomb hidden somewhere on the airship. But there is little time for explanations, since Merten must flee: he is being sought for a murder he says he did not commit.

  • The End of Imperialism Was the Birth of Nationalism, a Wave of Rising
    New German Identity: Reworking the Past and Defining the Present in Contemporary German Cinema Constance McCarney Dr. Robert Gregg Spring 2008 General University Honors McCarney 2 The end of imperialism was the birth of nationalism, a wave of rising consciousness that swept over the conquered areas of the world and brought them to their feet with a defiant cry, “We are a Nation!” These new nations, almost all multiethnic states, struggled in defining themselves, found themselves locked in civil wars over what the citizen of this nation looked like and who s/he was. The old nations, locked in a Cold War, looked on, confident in their own national cohesion and unity. But the end of the Cold War proved to be the birth of complicated new identity concerns for Europe. Yugoslavia splintered in terrible ethnic conflict. France rioted over the expression of religious affiliation. Germany tried desperately to salvage the hope that brought down the Wall and stitch itself back together. For Germany the main questions of identity linger, not only who is a German, but what does it mean to be German? In the aftermath of the great upheavals in Germany’s recent past, the Second World War and the fall of the Third Reich, German films did their best to ignore these questions of identity and the complications of the past. But in the late 1960s and throughout the 1970s, a New German Cinema arose that sought to work through the complex issues of West Germany: the legacy of the Nazi Past, American occupation, the Berlin Wall and divided Germany, the radicalism of the time period in a global context, and the civil rights movements, particularly the women’s movement.

November 2011 Die Kraft des Krimis in der Tiefe eines Dramas Er stellt die richtigen Fragen und weiß, wie man Menschen zum Reden bringt. Richard Brock ist Verhörspezialist, der in besonders heiklen Fällen von der Wiener Polizei engagiert wird. Dr. Stefan Merz, ein hochrangiger Beamter des Innenministeriums, kontaktiert ihn. Der Mord an Karin Kemminger, einer Angestellten des multinationalen Baukonzerns SANDAG, sorgt für nationales Aufsehen. Die Schwester des Opfers wurde Zeugin der Tat und muss den Täter gesehen haben, aber unter Schock kann sie sich an nichts mehr erinnern. Hier kommt Brock zum Einsatz, der mit seiner psychologisch geschulten Art die Amnesie der Zeugin aufbrechen kann. Verhindern kann er aber nicht, dass auch sie Opfer eines brutalen Verbrechens wird. Die Spuren des Bösen führen in die Führungsetage der SANDAG, in der auch ehemalige Minister ihren Sitz haben. Dort kommt es zu ei- nem wortgewaltigen, brutalen Duell zwischen dessen Vorstandsvorsit- zenden Michael Sand und Brock. Ein kalter Hauch umweht Brock, dessen Privatleben plötzlich in denunziatorischer Weise öffentlich ge- macht wird, der im Zentrum der Macht noch nicht einschätzen kann, wer Freund, wer Feind ist. Das Böse ist unsichtbar, scheint aber all- mählich Besitz von ihm zu ergreifen und in einem spektakulären Showdown die Oberhand zu gewinnen.

  • Friday Film Fest Series to Argue with This Assessment
    THE GERMAN SOCIETY’S Screening Hitler – Allen Krumm “Wir sind mit Hitler noch lange nicht fertig.” It is difficult Friday Film Fest Series to argue with this assessment. Why? Perhaps because, as Joachim Fest notes, “History records no phenomenon like him.” In the introduction of his biography, Fest continues: “…No one evoked so much rejoicing, hysteria and expectation of salvation as he; no one so much hate. No one else produced, in a solitary course lasting only a few years, such incredible accelerations in the pace of history. No one else so changed the state of the world and left behind such a wake of ruins as he did.” Jacob Burckhardt said that to be a good historian “…one has to be able to read.” For the present generation his aphorism might be amended to “one has to be able to watch.” People get much of their history from the movies and a prodigious sub-genre of that cinematic history comprises films about Hitler. Notwithstanding his negatives, der Führer disposes of more than a little box office magic, rivaling sex, car crashes and special effects as an audience aphrodisiac and as an enduring source of fascination. Perhaps there is a belief, ala Putzi Hanfstaengel, that if enough is written and filmed about him, and enough people read the books and see the films, future generations will be inoculated; they will be done with Der Untergang him, and a recurrence of such a time will be rendered impossible. Credits: Director: Oliver Hirschbiegel Script: Bernd Eichinger An enthusiastic kinophile, Hitler would be pleased by (based on Joachim Fest’s Der Untergang and Traudl Junge’s Bis zur the number and range of productions inspired by his letzten Stunde) Lebenslauf .
